Dupont Circle / Adams Morgan

image

Map 9

Neither tourist trap nor chain store-stuffed, boutique-filled Dupont is a standard destination for locals. North and east of the circle, toward club-crazed Adams Morgan and the trendy Logan Circle/U Street areas, is where the scene really is: shops, cafes, and great people-watching. Dupont is a little too settled to be considered bohemian or edgy any more, though, and anywhere south of the circle is office territory.

This is where DC bubbles over with nightlife options. Although Dupont is frequently labeled the hub of DC’s gay community, even Evangelicals can find a place to party here. From beer-soaked sports bars to painfully hip clubs to sticky-floored dives and late-night-snack spots, it’s no surprise that this neighborhood has a vibrant singles scene. But despite Bistrot du Coin, no one will ever mistake Connecticut Avenue for the Champs-Elysées.
