Trusty’s Capitol Hill Bar, DC

Two floors of games, pours, and local rhythm

One of the go-to Capitol Hill bars, Trusty’s has been proudly serving the neighborhood since 2005. Open daily for the last twenty years, Trusty’s is built for local games, national matchups, cold drinks, bar food, and the kind of weeknight plans that turn into regular habits. This Washington, DC bar keeps the rhythm casual, familiar, and full of reasons to stop in.

Join us Tuesday for trivia games in Washington, DC starting at eight, and come back Wednesday for Bus Bar events, including bingo, costume karaoke, cribbage, and half-priced grilled cheese nights. Then make the weekend yours with Trusty’s Brunch, featuring homemade pupusas, steak birria tacos, chorizo breakfast burritos, and the Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar.

Host Your Party with Us

Claim a corner with character

Bring your group into a full-service bar with two stories, a school-bus setup upstairs, plenty of screens, patio air, and the kind of offbeat character that loosens the room fast. For party-worthy plans with less stiffness and more spark, book ahead and give your gathering a place that already has a pulse.

Weekly Specials, Bus Bar Energy

Check the board before you settle in

Happy Hour keeps the weekdays moving with draft and rail deals, while the kitchen gives each day its own pull, with meatball subs, BBQ plates, soft beef tacos, grilled cheese, and house-made Chicago beef rotating through the week. Among bars on Pennsylvania Ave, this is where the specials stay loose, the bartender has the update, and weekends bring the build-your-own Bloody Mary setup with breakfast specials made for a slower start.
