About Shakers
Shakers is a contemporary LGBTQ+ bar in Washington DC’s Shaw neighborhood, balancing a polished cocktail-bar look with drag, DJs and late-night energy. It works well for after-work drinks before developing into a more animated party as the evening progresses. The programming is varied and welcoming, drawing a broad queer crowd rather than focusing on a single niche. Its location near U Street places it within easy reach of several other LGBTQ+ venues, making Shakers useful as either a starting point or a full evening destination.
