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.

BOOK A PARTY

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.

The Full Pour Is Waiting

Easy rounds by the Hill

From cold beers to mixed drinks and everything in between, the bar is ready for whatever the night needs.

Two full bars pour liquor, wine, cocktails, shooters, eight rotating draft lines, and more than sixty canned beers, with non-alcoholic beers and mocktails for anyone skipping the proof. Among Capitol Hill bars, this dive bar in Washington DC keeps the drink list broad, unfussy, and easy to settle into.

The Buzz Around the Bar

Reviews by - Google

five star review by Dude M:

Wonderful neighborhood bar. At my visit in late March 22 only 3 Beer on tap (Goose Island IPA , Yuengling Lager and Bud light). The School Bus like Bar, upstairs, offers a lot more Beer (in Cans). Friendly Bartender. Tasty Food. All in a fair price range.

five star review by Rachel S:

A truly fun dive bar featuring a huge list of beers and plenty of great snacks. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to reserve a space for an event or just hang out with friends.

five star review by Theresa D:

Trusty's is a neighborhood gem. The food is bar food, but solid and there are lots of options. The drink options are good. The vibe is wonderful always. Tuesday trivia is always a fun time! Plus dogs are welcome. What isn't to love?

five star review by Natalie B:

A bar for everyone. The two stories have very different feels: the first floor reminds me of a dive bar in Wisconsin with three cheap beers on tap and kitschy car decor. The upstairs bar is literally a bus, with a wide variety of craft beer (all in cans). Food is great, greasy bar food. Staff and bartenders are all awesome.
