Don't mind it being a hole in the wall - shots abound here where you can get squirt bottles of liquor of your choice! Bartenders being jerks is all part of the experience, just soak it in.

Go to Adam's Morgan...hit up this place to pregame...its a crap hole, but its a lot of fun and the drinks are super cheap...then go drink and watch the Adam's Morgan street change after 2 PM....

DC staple. They only take cash. A bottle deposit is required so don't forget to turn that back in. The staff isn't very friendly but that's part of environment. Not very many mixers .

Cara

Bring cash - not only because it's a cash bar , but because you're going to set the jukebox to play 20 George Michael songs in a row.

Daniel Lincoln

One of the best dive bars in Adams Morgan. Grab a squeeze bottle and share with everyone!

Chev

Call the bartender by his name (Tracy) and you'll get a free drink. The louder you shout, the stronger the drink! CHEERS!!!

NightScene

this. is. dive. bar . period. drinks are cash only and you make them yourself! the interior looks like it was furnished from an old garage sale. a fun one time experience

USA TODAY

For less than the cost of a couple of cocktails at one of the trendier options down the street, customers get their own small bottle of booze, plus mixers , to make their own drinks. Read more

Dan's is a perfect dive-y place. Get your drink in a condiment bottle or don't go at all.

Julia Lord Nickle

Share a squeeze bottle with your friends!

Alex Lee

Good pre game spot, go and ask for soco and lime . Just that. Nothing else. Trust me.

Arpan Bhowmik

Drink alcohol out of ketchup bottles. Only place in the whole Goddamn world

Jarcho

be warned: the staff at Dan's, the pinnacle of order and cleanliness, will "throw your ass on the curb" if you put ice on the floor that fell out of the classy bucket of ice they throw at you.

Jamie

If you want your liquor in a squeezie bottle, make sure you specifically ask for one. The employees are all sweethearts...

Martha Alvarado
