New to Cleveland Park, so I guess this is directed to those that live there as well. What is your favorite dive bar, in walking distance from the Cleveland Park/ Van Ness metro stops? This is assuming a 30 minute or less walk from either. In years past, I have enjoyed such spots as The Pug, Red Derby, Wonderland Ballroom, Little Miss Whiskey’s, and Pharmacy Bar when it still existed. Looking for a similar vibe TIA!!

Edit: not opposed to crossing over into Woodley Park either.

Wouldn’t that be Nanny O’Briens?

That was my immediate answer in my head when reading the title. So, seconded!

Atomic is my favorite in that area. Cleveland Park Bar and Grill also has a nice little rooftop. Nanny O’brien’s for irish pub.

Atomic or Nanny O's

Cleveland Park Grill sneaky has good food. Pro-tip: ask for the pizza well done.

Great roof deck, too, for when the weather gets better

just curious what is average age of resident in Cleveland park now? when i was in area ( cathedral ), it was mostly families and some students. i am curious if more singles are in area. I love area but found it was either too young or too older for me...but perhaps its changed

Most common CP household is a single lady in mid to late 30s that lives in one of the apt buildings on CT Ave pulling in over 100k/y in income.

thanks its interesting i am in Arlington now, and doing the research , Arlington average age is 25 to 30....I am late 30s and given the massive construction in Arlington and cost of living. I might be reasy to move back to some parts of DC where it doesnt feel like i am living with all college kids:) dupont, woodley, cleveland park still seem like ther are some older singles

Atomic Billiards definitely has a divey vibe and is great, imo, but I think Nanny O'Briens is the more popular spot.
