Got a sophisticated lady? Tell her to calm herself, sit down, have a beer, and shut up! Good friends, great freshly made food, good times, and surly bartenders!! A great time will be had by all!

Mike is a good bartender! Look for him upstairs in the school bus-themed bar, equipped with school bus seats!

One of the most lovely dive bars in DC. Get a grilled cheese and a beer and find the indoor bus.

Certainly a dive bar but the roof is cool, the vibe is good, and they have trivia on Tuesday. I'll be back. 🍺🍺👍

Local dive bar. Best place to hang out, get a drink and play dominoes any night of the week. Get the grilled cheese but opt for fries from the Chinese place next door (ask first!)

Ignore any mention of leaving this place smelling like grease. They changed the grill over two years ago and the food is amazing!!

Cheesesteaks are our go to at trusty's. They have to be terrible for you because they're awesome.

Good greasy food, beer and board games, and the only place where you can drink while buckled into a school bus. Did we mention that there’s a roof deck? Read more

A pitcher of Yuengling and a friendly game of Jenga. Add four or five good friends, and stir.

Got a sophisticated lady on board? Drag her two doors down for a more intimate setting with a broader base of beverages to accomodate her complicated palate.

Go upstairs and check out the new bar, built inside a cut-in-half school bus. Local dive bar just got so much better.

They got rid of Big Buck Hunter and replaced it with some abomination that no one plays.

Starr Hill on tap + Jenga + people playing four square outside (literally) = Cool bar in my book.

Play Jenga. The blocks all have instructions on them... some of them are less than wholesome.

Cool neighborhood bar with lots of board games. Too bad you leave smelling like you were dipped in a deep fryer.
