Transit Lounge

Hidden across from a dark patch of grass under the neon-lit Metrorail, this windowless stucco building may not look like much from the outside. Inside, however, are spacious vaulted ceilings and a ... read more

Red Bar

This bar-cum-art gallery attracts mostly a neighborhood crowd, but a stylish one, given the neighborhood. Not quite a lounge, but not a club either, the mood depends on the music—'80s pop, house, a... read more

Churchill's

Come in an old Buzzcocks or Clash T. Low-down English pub in the heart of Little Haiti. Meaning you've gotta have grit just to show up. So don't mess up your cred now by ordering a wussy light beer... read more
