JR's Bar, Washington DC

It was heartbreaking to see how far JR’s has gone downhill over the past few years. I was there recently with friends and it was filthy and lifeless compared to the many years that it was my “gay Cheers” bar. Someone needs to take over management (or ownership) and breathe some life into what should be a shining jewel of festiveness on 17th Street. Perhaps the owners or management of Annie’s should take over.

Fun place. Was a quite night but the bartenders we're friendly and the few other patrons we're all engaging.

Ever since Jr's has been under new management, the bar is now an even more welcoming, fun and relaxing atmosphere. I often come here for great music and nice drinks that are affordable for the area. The staffs are friendly, courteous and awesome!

Rocky Horror Picture show tonight!

Great and very lively fun. Thank goodness I took Monday morning off.

Don't Live It. Dream It! Enough is (Never) Enough! - the long version!

A fun and friendly place! Great show and low prices. Very attentive bartenders. There is a promotion here, you can get a free room for 1 hour or 2 free cocktails to choose from, you need to register at 909gay, com create a profile and show it to the bartender.

Great fun with friends but the bathrooms needed a little cleaning. But will definitely be back.

It was not bad. The drinks are pricey so I recommend going during happy hour or you could be in for a surprise when you go to close your tab.

JR's is a staple of the DC gay scene. It is fairly spacious, with friendly bartenders, cheap drink deals, fantastic music (plus music videos!), a nice crowd in a great location. Not much to complain about!

I went here several years ago and it was packed and really fun. Went back at midnight on a Saturday night two weekends ago and there were open seats at the bar and the floor was completely empty. Maybe an off night, but probably won't go back.

Unpleasant staff made us feel very uncomfortable. It was so over the top that I initially thought it was a joke. Stay away.

A great place to meet for happy hour. I met my boyfriend there!
Great music, videos and people. It is a trendy place. Can at times be VERY crowded.
