    Don't mind it being a hole in the wall - shots abound here where you can get squirt bottles of liquor of your choice! Bartenders being jerks is all part of the experience, just soak it in.

    DC staple. They only take cash. A bottle deposit is required so don't forget to turn that back in. The staff isn't very friendly but that's part of environment. Not very many mixers.

    Call the bartender by his name (Tracy) and you'll get a free drink. The louder you shout, the stronger the drink! CHEERS!!!

    For less than the cost of a couple of cocktails at one of the trendier options down the street, customers get their own small bottle of booze, plus mixers, to make their own drinks. Read more

    Bring cash - not only because it's a cash bar, but because you're going to set the jukebox to play 20 George Michael songs in a row.

    Dan's is a perfect dive-y place. Get your drink in a condiment bottle or don't go at all.

    If you want your liquor in a squeezie bottle, make sure you specifically ask for one. The employees are all sweethearts...

    Good pre game spot, go and ask for soco and lime. Just that. Nothing else. Trust me.

    be warned: the staff at Dan's, the pinnacle of order and cleanliness, will "throw your ass on the curb" if you put ice on the floor that fell out of the classy bucket of ice they throw at you.
