Public Bar Live

Public Bar Live is fun whether there are five people on a Monday night belting I Want It That Way at the top of their lungs or it's a shoulder-to-shoulder Saturday. It's also one of the few places open until 2am during the week in Dupont Circle these days, so head there if you’re looking for American bar food and booze. There are three floors and a rooftop, each with its own bar and a slightly different set up. The third floor, which is open most often, is full of the black leather booths that give it a club feel even though there’s a television showing sports (think NBA on TNT) above each table. Get the Captain Ovi Burger, which is juicy even when cooked well-done.
