What makes Pitchers special

Dave Perruzza opened Pitchers on 18th Street in Adams Morgan in 2018, after many queer bars in Dupont Circle had disappeared. It is a classic sports bar with darts, flat screens and game broadcasts that turns into a drag stage and dance floor in the evening.

In the same building is A League of Her Own (2319 18th St NW), a sporty bar for lesbian, bisexual and queer women and their friends, with its own dance floor, quizzes and drag. The two bars host drag and karaoke nights together.

Atmosphere and crowd

In the early evening fans watch football, basketball or baseball; later drag and DJs take over. Pitchers is mostly male, while A League of Her Own attracts a younger crowd of queer women. The mix makes it one of the most popular queer meeting points in the city.
