About

In the U Street Corridor, Licht Cafe offers a European-inspired hideaway that's more living room than nightclub. This LGBTQ+-owned and BIPOC-owned spot keeps things bright, gentle, and conversation-friendly with classic cocktails and a couch-heavy layout.

Happy hour runs on weekdays. The weekend hours stretch until 1am, making this a solid early-option before heading to nearby JR's Bar. Check their schedule for occasional special events.
