Love this bar. Used to live around the corner and stop in for a G&T now and again. I’ve recently moved to Boston and was back in town two weekends ago. I walked in and felt right at home!!! The same great, relaxing vibe with great people! Thanks for the fun Monday night, the great laughs and one too many shots.

I was staying in the neighborhood while in DC for a conference and stumbled across Larry’s Lounge while taking a walk — and I’m glad I did! The people there were very nice and fun to talk to. The place I stayed in was through airbnb and didn’t have a TV so it was nice to spend the evening watching Survivor with one of the other patrons. Next time I’m visiting DC, I’m going to have to stay near by so I can visit again.

I reviewed this place before, but this place is dog friendly: on the patio and inside, I guess that’s why popcorn is only served. It’s great until a group holds a birthday party for a dog. It’s still cool. If one of the owners recognizes your dog, the dog will get a treat. [Full Disclosure: I know the owners, but only after I was a customer for at least a year. There is drama, but that’s because they are now friends.] Bring your dogs here, but keep them controlled: unleashed is OK, unless your dogs can’t handle it.

Awesome place, met the owner of the place and they were so friendly. Honestly tho such a chill place, I prefer this to most other gay bars. Such a calm and relaxed vibe to enjoy with friends

Stopped in after I had dinner next door and thought this could my place to stop by after a long day at work. I ask the bald bartender for a drink when I sat down at the bar and he said I would need to wait since the bartender was out on a smoke break. I sat there for a couple of minutes and then the bartender returned and he was very nice and pleasant to me and got me my drink. I sat at the bar and enjoyed my drink and the bald bartender or bar back I guess since he did not want to get me my drink was talking about all the people that were sitting outside and not saying nice things about them that is all I am going to say. Lastly if this is the way a bar back talks about the customers this will not be the place I am going to stop after a long day work. I can stop by next door were I had dinner or find another place to go after a long day at work.

Very very rude bartenders. We were blown away by their blatant rudeness. We would have ordered more drinks but honestly it wasn’t worth the attitude. Good luck

Great L’il lounge to meet or make friends, not to mention great happy hour, all night if I’m not mistaken

My favorite neighborhood bar in dc. They welcome everyone. It’s a gay bar that you can bring your straight friends to. Friendly and cute bartenders. Hospitable and fun owners who are always present. Regulars who strike up conversation with anyone who walks in. Decent drink specials. And you can’t beat the outdoor patio. Drinking out there with the bartenders taking orders and bringing drinks on a nice summer day while getting to people watch on one of the best street corners in D.C. is just the best. Love Larry’s!

I went here last Friday while I was waiting on my friends to go to Lauriol Plaza across the street. While here, the bartenders were so nice and friendly, and the other patrons(some clearly regulars) were friendly as well. I’ve seen this place and heard about it before, but I’ll definitely head back. I didn’t try their specialty rum punch, but my friend who got it said it was great, so I’ll be back to try that. It was also a neat place, and usually, I associate low happy hour prices(which they had in spades) with a dirty dive. This was not like that at all. The only potential downside is it might get crowded if it’s later than 6:30 or so when you get there and the patio isn’t open. It was freezing out, so the patio was rightfully closed, but it started getting crowded around the time I left.

Friendly staff. Great drinks for a great price. The bartenders are very kind and welcoming. I went on a Wednesday night and thoroughly enjoyed the place all around. I have a new favorite for sure.

Hi Ron, thank you so much for writing me back. I did write the post the same night I visited the bar. I hope this additional information is helpful.

Cheap and chill and the best was to describe this place. Not cheap like gross, but for Dupont and DC as a whole, the menu is cheap, which is a nice relief for many in attendance.

Larry’s is a neighborhood gay bar known for its earnest service, generous pours and dog-friendly patio. Yes, the bar stools are looking a little ratty and the Formica countertops are dated, but Larry’s Lounge is not pretending to be anything beyond what it is: a comfortable watering hole with good people-watching options due to its floor-to-ceiling windows and corner location. Happy Hour is 4 – 7 every day.

After a late night on Dupont Circle we wandered over to this little hole in the wall. It sounds shady… and kinda is, but for the most part I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to get two drinks at a reasonable price and the drinks(mixed) were STRONG. Not like the watered down version I pay for everywhere else. We sat down to get out of the cold and look at the game plan for the rest of the night(aka– how to get home safely). Nice little place! They had stopped serving food because it was too late but otherwise it was a warm little place to stumble upon. Interior is lacking somewhat, it has a crummy guys lounge feel to it, not the preppy hipster DC I’m accustomed too. Great for happy hour… no dancing though!

Good place for happy hour. They have $ 5 draft beers, $ 3 bottle beers, and their white/red. My favorite is their outdoor patio /porch where you can do some serious people-watching right on the corner of 18th and T St. They also have«bar bites», of which I tried their Mozzarella sticks(yes, brings me back to middle school again. before the school lunch reforms happened) and their Philly Cheese Steak buns — soft bread and inside bursts with cheese and steak, although I could have used a bit more steak. Best thing is their sweet potato tots(!!) with an aioli sauce.

This is place is great for happy hour! I got through the door for the first time because I had a Belly bite for two rum punches, which were not watered down, for sure! Their menu is tiny– appetizers only, from what I gathered, but their drinks are soooo cheap comparing to most of the bars in DC. Oh, did I mention that they are just a few blocks around the Dupont Circle? Yeah, I will be back for Happy Hour.

This is a great neighborhood bar, just off Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan. There’s a great outdoor patio and the happy hour specials are really, really good($ 3 rails, $ 3.5 draft special, etc). We stopped in because we had a ScoutMob and the weather was nice so we wanted to stay outside. The crowd was friendly and easygoing, the people watching at 18th and T was phenomenal. This is a perfect place to stop after work.

One of my favorite neighborhood bars. Drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is very low key. Great place to grab a quick drink with a friend. Not loud at all, so it’s also a great place to have a conversation.

Larry’s is a riot. I have been going for a while, and always enjoy the low-key atmosphere. I recently found out that a new owner took over, and has been working to make some pretty big improvements. I had the opportunity to chat with him when I was there, and he outlined his plans for changing the basement up, and making it more attractive for groups to have get-togethers. Drinks are pretty cheap, especially if you compare to other neighborhood bars. The patio is one of the biggest draws for warm weather. It is a pet-friendly patio, so there are always lots of cute dogs hanging out with their owners. The basement has always been pretty musty smelling, but the owner tells me that he plans to work on that little by little, and I have seen baby steps towards that goal. Let’s hope he works that out. Best of luck to him! Check Larry’s out., its a fun neighborhood gay bar.
