What people say

A love of 90's music on a rainy Thursday night and sincere curiosity led us to the newly opened Buckeye + Bear in DuPont. Upon arrival, I realize that we are where The Huxley, a high-end nightclub and venue, used to be. Excited to see how the space had transformed, we show ID's to security at the door and walk through a hall wallpapered completely in concert posters. An incredible vibe, reminiscent of the movie "Almost Famous", I felt like we were entering a private show hidden somewhere in the heart of Brooklyn. The hallway leads us to "The Green Room", a sizable bar area ensconced with Led Zeppelin posters and similar memorabilia. Shiny wooden booths with a "picnic table-esque" vibe gleam along the edge. Just behind the normal bar seating, a second high top standing-only bar afforded us prime spots to watch the basketball game. The menu boasts a rousing array of southern favorites, including a tantalizing pulled pork sandwich and a fiercely incredible buffalo chicken dip. The beer list is conservatively unpretentious, making ordering a drink feel nonchalant; a humble reprieve from D.C. bars that sometimes go overboard on their brew selection. We order some drinks and meander to the back of the bar, where we can hear the band performing in The Ballroom. While slightly smaller than similar music venues downtown, The Ballroom at Buckeye + Bear offers a more intimate evening, perfect for a date, casual drinks with friends, or an up-close and personal encounter with whoever is performing that evening. The dynamic creativity put in to this space is clearly reflected in the perfect acoustics and overall feel of the room. High praise to Ryan Seelbach and Eric Lund for producing another top notch and tastefully trendy venue.
