That's where I live and yes we have way better bars and shit up here than downtown.

I will add that north DC is extremely cool and not all that far away from the Otakon neighborhood. If you want a dive bar with good happy hour stuff or some cheaper eats with more options, you could do worse than making a little half hour walk of it. Of course it’s only gonna get hotter ☀️
