  • Atmosphere: Little Miss Whiskey’s has a New Orleans voodoo meets biker bar meets metal feel. Dim purple lights and hard rock/metal billings on the wall are a nice touch. Of course the weekend crowd is full of young people, hipsters, etc. The music is funky and the best of 80’s and 90’s. It’s a chill dive bar with a dance floor. Downstairs is calm, upstairs can get wild.
Venue Overview

Walking into Little Miss Whiskey’s on H Street is like walking into a low key new orleans bar for metal heads and bikers. The dim purple lights, slayer and pantera billings and voodoo skulls on the wall in the back give it an eerie yet somehow inviting vibe. Probably because there aren’t any bikers or voodoo priests, just hipsters and other H-street types. The beer selection is huge and the vibe is chill.

The back of the first floor has bathrooms with a long row of barbershop chairs. We thought that was pretty awesome. But not as awesome as the effort they must have put into finding the perfect decorations!

Heading through a cased-off door and up the stairs brings you to a 2nd bar, raised DJ booth and dance floor with levels at the back. Unlike Sticky Rice, this H Street location is more of a place to dance and hook up (if you’re lucky). Then again, you could chill downstairs. It’s a pretty awesome spot if you’re looking for a club alternative.

The outdoor patio features a gothic garden fountain, a bathtub full of bubbles, gold plates hanging on one side of the fence, and flowers on the other. It’s pretty nice. The only thing is that their agreement with the neighbors is that the patio has to reamin ‘civil’ after Midnight.

  • Atmosphere: Sticky Rice’s self-proclaimed “charming atmosphere and bad attitude” have given it a glowing reputation in DC’s H Street Corridor. Its American/Pan-Asian selection of fresh sushi, sandwiches, salads and other entrees make it a foodie favorite.

    Sticky Rice’s DC nightlife offering is great! The vibe, the people, the music, it just embodies a great time. Simple and fun. Everyone is smiling, dancing around to feel-good top 40 past and present, doing shots and loving life. It’s a great place to go out as you are and have fun. It’s definitely not big, and sure as sh*t is no club. What it is, is a bar full of happy people.

Venue Overview

Sticky rice is easy to navigate. When you walk in there’s a staircase leading upstairs to a dining area, bathrooms and possibly a back patio. We weren’t sure if that was on or off limits to patrons.

sticky rice h street dc
As you can see, Sticky Rice is just an old fashioned good time!

The main bar area is backed by sinister red lighting, a small standing area that may turn into a dance floor, and in the center, stairs leading to a mid-level sushi bar. At the end of that sushi bar is a little booth. It looks like there should be a bad ass, back door card game going on there.

The space is small and if people are dancing you’re definitely gonna be bumping into people on your way to the bar, to the bathroom or home. It’s all good though, everyone’s nice and well to do.

  • Atmosphere:   With the merger of the two beloved dives Palace of Wonder and The Red & Black, their love child, The Red Palace was born unto H St. as an indie rock, freak show haven for hipsters and scenesters of all ages (depending on the show).   The rockin’ burlesque venue mashed everything you love about a dive bar- cheap drinks, no dress code, hardcore drinkers with a circus side show freak fest.  Come to check out the tassel twirling burlesque dancers, indie bands, and variety shows while you knock back eclectically named beer and no named whiskey shots!
Venue Overview

This place is Freak Show, Circus, Vaudeville, Kitch, and bar rolled into one amazing package.  Downstairs, the vibe remains mostly dive bar with 2 full bars, tables, booths, photos on the ceiling and lit-up wizards’ heads from boardwalks of yester year. Beer lists on chalkboards, with selections like Flying Dog Raging Bitch Belgian Style I.P.A., Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’, Founder’s Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, Stoudt’s Fat Dog Imperial Oatmeal Stout, draft beer selections and much more.

The upstairs, to the live music space complete with exposed beams, creaky floors, and a wooden bar reminiscent of an abandoned shed.  There is no seating upstairs, thus to encourage dancing and mingling amongst guests, but there is an outdoor patio for the warm months.

Performances can include trapeze artists, fire dancers, burlesque performers and a guy who actually hammered a nail into his face and bicep.

The dark lit funhouse is full of freakish oddities including mannequins of elephant men, a shriveled 5-legged dog in a case, babies in jars and what looked like a pair of lips in a jar of formaldehyde.

If you still have an appetite, The Red Palace just added a full kitchen, which churns out a menu of gourmet burgers and sandwiches, appetizers, salads, tons of delicious sides and desserts. Don’t worry there are no babies with a dorsal fin or 100 year old eggs on the menu.
