Favoriate Bar!!
I have traveled the US and this ranks as one of my most favorite bars. Always a good looking-well dressed crowd, drinks are strong, but it does get packed. Parking in the area is difficult for out-of-towners but its worth it. Lots to see and do along 17th Street.
Not for outsiders part 3
If you are not a local..don' bother with this bar.... Didn't even get into the front door...Australia Drivers license wasn't ID...I can hire a car and drive in the USA..get into bars in NYC, Boston, Montreal and Toronto however that's not enough for JR's..your loss..
A good bet
I've been a visitor to DC on several occasions, and I have always found JR's a pleasant and dependable watering hole. The music is good, the drinks reasonably priced, and always fairly crowded. I can't agree that it's an unfriendly place; both and alone and with my partner, I found plenty of locals to chat with. As a general rule, you may have to take the initiative, but the clientele seemed quite open to socializing. Like most American bars these days (gay and straight), there is a surfeit of televisions. And like most Washingtonians, the patrons tend to be conservatively dressed and mannered. But other than that, I can't find a lot to complain about. A good bet.
