This bar is best known for its mixed drink , but also has a great selection of beer on draft , as well as the cheap stuff in bottles for your hipster friends who want to dance + drink.

If you really want to enjoy the show: I recommend that you get there early with your friends, find a table, dig into the food & a few cocktails , because this is not karaoke for your weak. They Party!

Get in Early...invite as many peeps as you like. Make it your party! 70,000 Songs, Drink Specials , Great Tacos (OMG!!!) and great staff . Whatever you do...do not drop the mic!

The Wonderland Ballroom is a no-fuss neighborhood bar with tasty food and an extensive beer list . On weekends it's great to hang out outside on their dog-friendly patio . Read more

The large open patio is legendary, down stairs is a great hangout, and upstairs parties hard, with live music , karaoke or a Dj . You can't not find something you like here. Hipster haters beware

I wish I could live here. get a beer and shot combo. dance . drink. make new friends.

MJG

One Friday a month the graduate students of the University of Maryland's Creative Writing program read from their poetry and fiction--quality work, more absurdly fun than serious. Eye the calendar.

Amy Cummings

This place has everything: a divey bar , outdoor patio , and upstairs late night dancing . New favorite spot.

John Baker

Food is delicious! Try a brunch skillet . So good! They also have a yummy beer selection !

Eric Breese

Great dive vibe, with a nice selection of draft beers .

Trace D.

Make sure you stop by Fridays at 8pm for You, Me, Them, Everybody a live, late-night style talk show complete with local musicians & guests hosted by Brandon Wetherbee! Twitter: @YMTE

Thomas Pruitt

Fun place, but in a Shyamalan-esque twist, it's the people that are really friendly (if a bit meek) while the bartenders at this neighborhood watering hole/dive are Midtown-on-a-Friday caliber dicks.

Chris Linn

Go for quality dive bar eats and dranks on the outside patio and the fun dance parties upstairs.

Ben G

Great for outdoor seating and cheap drinks on any given Sunday. Need to recover from last night? This should be the first stop of the day.

Karthik Raman

Good beer selection . Fried chicken sandwich was good, but have had better. Eggplant fries are addictive. Monday at 6 was pretty empty, but good crowd as evening continued.

Caterina

Stop by when you're walking your dog; Wonderland is pooch friendly .

Matthew Taub

Friendly service and a nice outdoor area . They have comedy shows at night.

Rafi Free

Get there early and get your seat....we go hard or go home! ...Don't wait to sign up..

Stephanie DeDecker

Columbia Heights staple. Great outdoor brunch and late night dance parties

Matt

great during the warm months. communal outdoor picnic tables fill up quickly on nice afternoons. dancing upstairs can be fun, too, though dc9 is a more consistently fun bet.

Brian Schwarz

Thia place has racist bartenders until you seem like a good tipper, at which time they will run to our credit card and see how much they can charge you for a local beer on the beer list .

ᴡ Stuver

Brunch on sat and sun with awesome skillets , bottomless mimosas , and the wonderland mimosa (orange juice and a high life)

Viks

A great combination of a dive on the first floor and dance floor on the second. Tends to get packed but the more the merrier.

Aaron King

The large open patio is legendary. Upstairs parties hard. You can't not find something you like here...what?

Rafi Free

Get in early, have your list of songs ready (3 max) and sing!

Andrew Wiseman

Jim Beam shot and Genny Cream beer , $6. Can't beat it.

Rafi Free

They are into having serious fun @ Wonderland Ballroom . Every Tuesday @ 8PM.

Fernando Marines

Good place to hang out and have a good drink

Leandro Lagera

Day drinking dive bar extraordinary. Wouldn't trade this in for any fancy joints ever.

Brian Chamowitz

Guaranteed sloppy drunken make-outs on upstairs dance floor on fri/sat nights after 11pm

Jason C

One of my favorite places in the world. Piles of memories made here. All good ones too.

Juliette H

returned in the daytime because as the sign out front says: "yes you did leave your card here last night". If you do, like I did, the check will have conveniently been closed out for you + a 20% tip

Jen

Mac&Cheese pancakes are as good as you want them to be.

Alisha Bhagat

They have a meat free menu for the beginning of February in addition to their usual veggie options .

Kelsey✨

It's a hot, sweaty mess upstairs, but good music , and good dancing

Korey K

Great spot, though you get shooed inside at around midnight.

Ben R

Legendary patio and a quintessential dive.

Sit outside so you don't have to smell the interior...

The Feast

Check out the four varieties of grilled cheese with brie , cheddar , Swiss, feta , and muenster .

Meg Biallas

Outdoor seating only if you get there before 6. Otherwise, you're sent to the dingy dark inside. But def get the eggplant fries !
