Pitchers DC

awesome lgbt+ club, always filled with the most amazing people and playing the best music in dc. their food is absolutely KILLER but their drink prices are crazy. nonetheless, you'll find great service with friendly staff. love this place!

The stars are for the food. It is very good. The rest is pretty mediocre. As others have mentioned, their ID policies are a little excessive. There's always a big holdup outside to get in because the bouncers are intensely scrutinizing people's IDs. I've always gotten in eventually but it's a little irritating. The bag policy on weeknights also bothers me. I've gone with my book club a few times on weekdays and we have all had to put our bags in the cubes even though we could clearly be monitored by the bouncer/bartenders. Now we can't even go on Wednesday nights because they do trivia and there is no way to avoid it if you don't want to participate. It is very loud and the ALOHO space is not open, nor are the upper floors.As for weekends, the dancefloor is usually packed like a sardine can. If you want to dance, better to go to Kiki but I guess if you just want to jump up and down with your hands in the air while Chappell plays in the background go ahead.

Went here for trivia. Really enjoyed the trivia hosts and the types of questions they ask! Will definitely go back for another trivia night. Trivia 5/5For food we got a burger and chicken sandwich. Both were ok, rather basic and the fries were meh. Nothing special but I guess ok for bar food. Food 2/5

Ambiance -Music video - floor 2 - so much fun!! Loved seeing the music videos on the wall. Got packed fast during middle of night but so fun!! You felt like you were doing karaoke in a way. 3rd + rooftop floor - was fun a bit hot due to the weather this day but would be cute im sure on other days. So spacious and so many areas to be at if you feel uncomfortable Cool decor!Food - sooooo good everything!! Sweet potato fries, fried pickles, philly cheese steak egg rills, mac and cheese bites, alll so damn good!Drinks - good! Fair priced i got a seltzer iced tea peach and it was good my first time.Location - on a busy street easy to find. Service - was great no complaints here

I love the gaming consoles and good music but the bartenders and bouncers suck. Usually mean straight male bouncers. Bouncer aggressively didn't allow a friend in with his REAL ID. Drinks are also pricy.

I love that there's a space like this in AdMo! Queer haven with good food, big crowds, and great queer programming. It feels like a place where you can really be yourself!

This is a racist bar against brown people and I truly hate to see in the chocolate city. The security guard rejected my girlfriend for being to "wobbly" when standing in line when she literally had ZERO drinks. What's that about?!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!? Wow. Gladly took ourselves to the bar up with no issues because we were able to provide our IDs with no issues.

Not for the Faint of HeartI fainted at Pitchers the other night because I was drunk and dehydrated. And while I understand that at that moment I was a liability, I struggle to understand their need to rush me out of the establishment in under 3 minutes. The staff was kind enough to bring me some water and give me a fist bump (?) but treated me like a leper that must be instantly evacuated.I think situations like these can tell you a lot about a bar's character: I understand the need to remove someone who is belligerently drunk and disturbing other customers. But I was quiet, respectful, and apologized for all the commotion. I just needed somewhere to sit for 5 minutes to catch my breath and recover. It wouldn't have cost Pitchers a dime to let me rest for bit while my friends figured out how to get me home. That's the courteous thing to do. That's the right thing to do. Instead we were hastened out with much discomfort.I was never a huge fan of Pitchers to begin with: the music is almost exclusively top-40s, the drinks are lackluster, the atmosphere is uncool, and the decor screams capital one float at pride parade. If that's your speed, you'll have a ball... but this experience left a sour taste in our mouths and we won't be coming back!

My absolute favorite place I. DC! I come here every week and the staff have become like family (shoutout Eric, Ortiz, and Miguel!) The drinks are always perfect, they're so kind, and make sure every patron is happy and safe. The vibe is always great, empty or packed. I cannot overstate the awesomeness enough; You have to experience it for yourself! P.S. the chicken tenders are the best I've ever had.

This bar was amazing! I was visiting DC with some friends and we popped in here for a couple of drinks. Prices were very reasonable for DC and we loved playing Mario Kart in the bar together! The staff were very nice as well. Will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in DC.
