    Rite of passage to do a squirt bottle shot. It's cash only but there's an atm on the main road up near Pitchers. Bathrooms are gnarly - I'd hold it if I were you. They play killer throwback tunes think Titanic & then Country Roads so everyone sings along. The crowd is random & younger but don't let that stop you from coming - it's an experience to have.

    Wow-- what a cool spot. I will definitely be coming back here. This little popular dive bar in the heart of Adams Morgan has so much energy and a college like feel. It's the place to be on a Friday night. The line was a little longer than the other bars and the place was packed. The bouncer was very inviting and charismatic so waiting in line passed by very quickly.

    Best dive bar is back. Dan's Cafe has reopened after a remodel. Not to worry. It still looks very divey. The smell is still around too. Everyone comes here for the squirt bottles. It's like a ketchup bottle filled with liquor. This is about $30 to get a few rounds of shots. If you want cheaper stuff you can get some well drinks. They pour drinks into regular glasses too. Avoid the bathrooms. It's just horrible. This is the place to take that one friend who wants to find the diviest bar possible. The bar has a few things going on around it. One cool thing is the pool table. This feels like a basement in a crackhouse but in a kind way.
