Be at ease and enjoy a happy hour with Pentagon and other DoD personnel on the third Thursday of every month. It officially starts at 5 p.m. but come early and enjoy the happy hour drink specials. This is part of a new, exciting initiative on the part of Go Gay DC to support the local LGBTQ+ establishments on a regular basis.

If you plan to dine, please call ahead for table reservations at (703) 685-0555 or reserve a table .
