About

If you want to hang out with a mixed gay and straight crowd over craft beer, this is the spot. Red Bear Brewing Co is a gay-owned brewpub in DC that makes its own beer and keeps a huge collection of board games ready for customers. The vibe is casual and after-work friendly, drawing mostly 30s and 40s locals.

The brewery opened in 2019 and is committed to inclusivity, including an ADA accessible bar and staff training in basic ASL. Dogs are welcome, and happy hour runs on weekdays. You can easily walk to other nearby LGBTQ+ bars like Nellie's Sports Bar , but this place stands out for its own beer and game-filled tables.
