The Front Page in Washington, DC.


Known as the place to go for its great happy hour deals after a long day at work, The Front Page near Dupont Circle is the place to go.

Decorated in a consistent theme of black-framed photographs highlighting historical front pages of newspapers, the archives puts the bar’s name in context and is a reminder of the location of the bar, the political history-making city of the nation.

Walking into the front doors, you’ll see a dark environment where couples are on first dates and friends are chattering about either at the bar or at the cedar tables throughout the restaurant.

Every table and bar stool is occupied during the Monday through Friday happy hour that features some of the cheapest drinks in Washington, DC. Patrons can get $2.50 rails, beers and house wine as well as half-priced appetizers.

But, that’s not all on Thursday nights. From 5 to 7 pm, young professionals can grab $2 Coronas to go with their free tacos along with a full selection of toppings buffet-style.

Bar-goers sing along to the alternative rock tunes playing within the bar and watch politics and sports news on the eleven televisions scattered throughout. The bar in the back room’s ceiling-length windows overlook the busy streets of Dupont Circle and its passerbys envious of the signature drinks and exquisite meals that patrons consume.

While the front of the restaurant is relatively quiet and used for dining purposes during day, the ambiance is completely altered on Friday and Saturday nights when tables and chairs are removed to provide an open space for dancing to Dj’s by Chris Styles or local DJ RADYUS. Fluorescent lights flood the room and a screen for watching music videos is pulled down to provide visual entertainment.

Whether it’s free tacos or free music, DC locals will enjoy what The Front Page has to offer. The deals are so good that it may as well make the front page
