As evening nears, Hearsay has taken a few moments to find out which gay bars and clubs are open and which ones are closed on this snowy Saturday in D.C. So if you’re not landlocked (like Hearsay, without so much as a scrap of nourishment, praise the lord for gin, vermouth and cocktail olives) and you want camaraderie and booze tonight, you have plenty of neighborhood options from which to choose.
Here’s who’s open:
18th & U Duplex Diner
30 Degrees/Cobalt (but the Bare anniversary has been postponed)
Annie’s (24 hours!)
DIK Bar
EFN Lounge
Fireplace
Freddie’s Beach Bar & Grill
Green Lantern
Halo
JR.’s Bar & Grill
Mixtape at DC9
Nellie’s Sports Bar
Playbill Cafe
PW.’s Sports Bar (but they will likely close early)
Here’s who’s closed tonight:
Apex DC
Dito’s at Floriana
Omega DC
Town Danceboutique
Ziegfeld’s/Secrets (there goes the prospect of nude snow angels)
The following establishment did not answer their phones as of 5:45 p.m. (and Hearsay let them ring a good long time, too), nor have reported one way or another on Facebook whether or not they’re open. It’s possible they’re opening later, but Hearsay strongly suggests calling the following before you make the trek.
Bachelor’s Mill
Club Hippo in Baltimore
D.C. Eagle
Fab Lounge
Lace
Phase One
Remington’s
