Tucked beneath the bustling streets of downtown DC, The Bottom Line has been a local favorite for over 45 years. This unpretentious basement bar offers a nostalgic, "where everyone knows your name" atmosphere that feels like a warm, familiar escape from the city bustle. Known as the premier DC headquarters for Cincinnati Bengals fans, it features an electric atmosphere on game days with big screens and dedicated sound for every chant. Beyond their famous $5 house margaritas, the bar boasts an impressive selection of house-specialty mules and budget-friendly "hump day" deals on Coronas and Rudy’s Nachos. The staff, voted for having the city's most popular bartenders, provides friendly, efficient service that welcomes everyone from suit-and-tie professionals to sports fans in full gear. With a kitchen that stays open late, patrons can enjoy must-try wings and comforting bar favorites.
