u-bet! Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Dan's Cafe in Adams Morgan gives you a fricken coke can and your plastic cup of whiskey separately. Only if they squeezed liquor from a goatskin bag hanging around the neck of a hirsute and caloricly challenged bar wench with candles abound would it be more of a dive. Does anyone know if they are still open? I don't get into Adams Morgan very much any more. I remember the owner's son was an aspiring professional boxer. Wonder whatever happened to him... Many years ago, I remember hitting Dan's before going to a Blake Babies concert at the original 9:30 club. I couldn't take my eyes off a very attractive young lady who was sitting in a booth with some friends. I tried to work up the courage to go up and talk to her but, alas, my nerves got the better of me. So there I sat, admiring her from the bar. When I got to the club and the band took the stage, someone looked familiar. Sure enough, it was the girl from Dan's, Juliana Hatfield, then lead singer of the Blake Babies, and soon to go on to indie rock fame as a solo act. So, in my mind (at least in the early 90's), Dan's couldn't have been a hipper place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Does anyone know if they are still open? Last I checked, Dan's was indeed still open (I think I saw the door open while walking by, sometime in March?). And yes, it's easily one of the diviest places in town.

chaofun Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Dan's will get you there, and quick. Relatively cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyssa Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 As my brother has told me "I've been to Dan's a number of times....I just don't remember any of them." It's still there and is still probably the best dive in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pras Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I would say that I have fond memories of Dan's, but most nights which included a stop there ended in a blackout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
