One of the interesting things about Washington D.C. is that there are dozens of truly mixed-spaces for LGBT and straight people. Unlike straight venues in other cities that throw one-off gay events, there are many places in the District that consistently have mixed crowds. (Basically, the “gay bar that your straight friends don’t know is a gay bar.”)
Shaw’s Tavern is one of these mixed-spaces. One of my favorite events at Shaw’s is the Sunday night drag dinner show — which is early enough to be a responsible ending point for a Sunday Funday.
