“You can walk in, you can hear somebody when you’re talking to them,” Martinez says. It’s a place for cordials and cordial conversation. For one, it provides a queer bar currently absent in the heart of Logan Circle.Īdditionally, The Little Gay Pub will be less focused on clubbing and more as a community gathering spot, even late at night. This new neighborhood jaunt sits under an apartment building at 11th and P Streets NW and fills a void in Northwest D.C.’s gay scene. Gander says this space will offer a “low-key” and “chill” vibe with 70 seats inside and about 75 outside. That’s how Gander and co-owners Dito Sevilla and Dusty Martinez came up with the name for The Little Gay Pub - on track to open this March in Logan Circle. “We’re like, ‘It’s just a cute Little Gay Pub!’” “I’d say we probably went through 10,000 names and this was the first thing we said,” says Benjamin Gander. When starting a new business, there’s a first big question - what do you call it? Do you make it a pun? An ethos statement? Someone’s name? No answer is wrong, but for the three co-owners of D.C.’s newest queer bar, their answer was to be as matter-of-fact as possible.
