Outfitted like a Midwestern flea-market—jumbled vintage signs and all—Wonderland offers a beer-stocked island in an ocean of leafy Northwest neighborhoods. Far off the beaten yuppie path, yet not a long walk from the Columbia Heights Metro (use the buddy system, please!), it's the bar around the corner with an eclectic twist. An energetic, casual crowd dominates the scene, outfitted in worn Levi's. There's no pretension in those pockets though- even the arty set come not to judge, but to have a down-home good time sipping PBR, Stella Artois, and frosty Yuenglings. The beer rotation fluxes with the season, keeping beer connoisseurs on their toes as they sit at tables topped with the logo from Popeyes, DC/Maryland/Virginia’s beloved fried chicken joint. Make sure your stomach is tuned for rapid digestion, because once you've had your fill of sausage and beer (that’s right, sausage), head upstairs for the thumping-est, sweatiest, funnest dance party this side of the Lincoln Memorial.
