Barcode has been a preminent fixture of downtown DC for over a decade. The staff is friendly and attentive, the management is helpful and responsive, and the menu is far beyond what you would expect from a spot that primarily gives off bar/club vibes. I've been a loyal patron of their Thursday happy hours (and beyond) since 2016. The weekend brunch scene is lively and incredible (the brunch buffet is can't miss breakfast/southern soul). Their DJ selection is on point and their live music pop ups are don't miss. Regular hours post pandemic are Thurs-Sun, but they will work with you to host an event on their off days. Shout out to Ashleigh, Devon, Janae, and Zarko, love them to death.
