Spark Social

Bar · 4.9 (187 reviews)

Spark Social is a coffee shop and gay bar at 2009 14th St NW, just north of U Street. Google notes it identifies as Asian-owned, LGBTQ+ owned and veteran-owned, and it has a 4.9-star rating across 187 reviews, with a typical spend of $10–20.

Reviewers describe two personalities: a daytime cafe with comfy seats, outlets and Wi-Fi where people work on laptops, and a livelier bar at night with drag shows on some evenings. The back patio and courtyard get frequent mentions, as do the paninis, a non-alcoholic menu, coffee served until 10 PM and cocktails such as the Spicy Boy. Several reviews praise staff for looking out for guests.

Spark opens at 9 AM daily and stays open until 2 AM Friday and Saturday. Google lists dine-in, takeout and outdoor seating, card payments, free Wi-Fi, a gender-neutral restroom, and says dogs are allowed. Parking is paid street or lot parking and can be hard to find.
