Nellie's is a gay bar at night, a sports bar during the day, has a rooftop deck, and a must see brunch served by singing drag queens every Sunday. Nellie's is the most checked into 4sq Venue in D.C.

They have the hottest coolest straight single Bartendar Cole. Great reason for a single straight girl to go or guys to have fantasies about this buff nice guy. Oh and he makes great drinks!
