Trade

About this place Trade

Trade is a neighbourhood gay bar on 14th Street NW that represents the Logan Circle end of DC's central LGBTQ+ corridor — the stretch of 14th Street and P Street that runs between U Street and Dupont Circle and constitutes the most concentrated area of gay nightlife in the capital. The bar operates with a deliberately inclusive ethos: diverse in race, age, and presentation, with a welcoming door policy and pricing that does not filter by income. The 14th Street location puts Trade adjacent to some of DC's best restaurants, coffee shops, and cultural venues, making it a natural stop on an evening that moves between dinner in Logan Circle and drinks at multiple bars along the corridor. Regular events include drag performances and themed nights. The bar is well-positioned as a mid-evening destination — accessible enough to attract people who are new to the corridor, social enough to hold them for a second round.
