Red Derby

Cash only . The ATM costs $2. Tater tots are only served with brunch . Bloody Marys are now $3. Jason and Nick are the best bartenders . The chicken tacos are the best, and are half off on Tuesdays.

Everything brunch should be: super affordable , nothing fancy , just delicious, rooftop , and tots w every dish. Extra points for having drink specials beyond just mimosas . My new favorite brunch in DC!

Gotta love a strong Manhattan served in a plastic glass like you'd get at an old school pizza parlor. The Old Pro from Union brewery in Baltimore is terrific if you're down with a sour/salty beer .

Neighborhood bar . Cash only . Relaxed on weekdays, packed on weekends. Good beer selection . Bartenders are very friendly . Check out the rooftop section.

All of the necessary provisions for a debaucherous evening out: a dimly lit, red-tinted bar , a spacious roof deck , and a back room for games.

Basically everything a dive bar should be--cash only, canned beer , and lively . The bartenders are great too (looking at you, Jason)

Cool cheap spot. Cash only , nice food deck. Good bar food too.

Nick is the beat bartender ever, and Anne Marie is the nicest. Hit this spot for some of the best weekday drink deals , including $4 Tom Collins 's and Tequila Sunrises on Tuesdays.

A must visit if you're in the Columbia Heights area. The rooftop adds to the charm of this dive. It captures the essence of the neighborhood . Don't miss the weekend brunch .

Schlitz and a shot and sweet potato fries . Go on Tuesdays for half-priced tacos or at 2am for espresso shots on Saturday because why wouldn't you?

Be warned, brunch closes at 330. If you're one of those "awake by noon, out of bed by 2" kind of people, you won't make food on time. Otherwise their Bloody Mary's are fantastic.

One of my favorite dive bars in DC. Beer . Fried mac and cheese . Grilled cheese and sweet potato fries .

Great place! Everytime i go, i get the dos hombres. Witch is a beer and a shot of tequila !!!

By far the coolest staff around. I was unable to pay my tab one night, and when I came into settle it up, the manger bought me a beer . Very cool place.

Lots of cheap drinks . A ton of great craft beers . Great rooftop . Need to pay with cash! They have an ATM though.

Bring cash but other than that they have the best prices and a great home town feel. I love this place.

Cheap beer , dive-y, what’s not to like.

Good cheap beer and a roof deck , what's not to like? Cans only, cash only .

Love the brunch . I always get Bloody Mary's over the Mimosa 's, but it don't matter since they are all $3. Grab a morning burger with tots or the if you aren't that hungry, the breakfast burrito .

Beer and shot combos are inventive and cheap . Try them all.

Super cheap sunday brunch menu - including the $2 bloody marys . You can get stuffed and wasted for less than $15 here.

Bartenders have the best taste in music . Most fantastic neighborhood bar

the best day to go is Monday. They have the most specials then... nut its cash only so be prepared

Big Buck Hunter is here, in the back room with the chalkboard wall. Don't shoot the Nannies!

Brunch is no- frills, solid food, cheap and boozy .

Great for brunch , but CASH ONLY . Rooftop is where it's at!

Half priced burgers on Mondays! Get the Derby toppings on the veggie burger !

All cans, all the time. Decent service with pretty good prices.

Great brunch . Great staff . Great prices. Love this neighborhood spot

Dealers choice Shot&Beer combos are the move.

Awesome spot. $3 tall boy Schlitz at happy hour . Cash and cans only though.

This is exactly what a neighborhood bar should offer. Board games , great specials, and a fantastic staff ! Try the beer & shot for only $5.00.

The best place to grab an outdoor drink in dc. +good beer and grilled cheese .

Burgers , beer and chess .

Best bar in dc. Roof top is even better. Grilled cheese wins.

Beer is only served in cans at this dive, but they've got a good selection. Go for a Dale's Pale Ale or an Old Chub.

Fish dog an shrimp po' boy $5.00 on Sunday!

Best brunch in the neighborhood , 1/2 price burgers , and lots of board games . Staff makes you feel right at home!

Hipsters paradise; $2 PBR , dim lights and board games

Go for brunch - $2 drinks, delicious food, and make your own mimosas

Pretty much everything comes with tater tots . What could be better?

Awesome hip DC spot. Great stop on Sunday nights for crazy 80s videos.

Used to be hardcore hipster , now a little less so. The rooftop is sweet. But watchout -- it's cash only .

Ask for a little pickle juice in your $2 Bloody Mary at brunch

Frozen paloma, frozen horchata . Alternate. Rinse. Repeat.

Richmond bands play sometimes. Always a plus.

There is a Derby Bakery now. Breads , cookies , lemon chiffon cake , and granola .

$2 beer ... A rooftop and cool music

They only take cash, so be sure to pool your change
