What makes The Little Gay Pub special

Three longtime bartenders from D.C. run the bar. Gilded mirrors, photos of 1960s gay rights marches and a red London phone box shape the room, and upstairs there’s a pink-lit garden room. The music is quiet, and people talk rather than dance. From the roof terrace you look out onto a mural of city planner Ed Bacon.
