Hot Dog Sunday

Monday happy hour with a fun twist — free pup cups, craft cocktails, and the kind of vibe that makes you actually want to hang on a weeknight. Spark Social's outdoor patio is the spot to unwind with drinks in hand and good company.

Monday nights at Red Bear belong to the trivia regulars—assemble your team, test your knowledge across rounds of Sporcle questions, and compete for actual prizes plus the bragging rights that matter. Games at 7pm and 8pm mean there's a slot that works for your schedule.

The showtunes night that's kept Dupont Circle singing for decades — a room full of people who actually know the words, a bartender who takes requests seriously, and the kind of Monday reset that makes the rest of the week bearable. Expect Broadway classics, a packed bar, and the genuine warmth that only happens when a community shows up for each other week after week.

Tuesday night trivia at Spark Social with host Sarah Tonin keeping things fun and competitive. Teams compete for prizes — top 3 take home wins. It's the kind of low-key weeknight gathering that actually gets people talking and laughing, fueled by cocktails and the occasional trivia argument. Reservations recommended.

A biweekly puzzle race where teams compete to finish a 500-piece puzzle while enjoying Red Bear's craft beers and good company. Everyone takes their completed puzzle home — it's the kind of low-key competitive fun that keeps people coming back. Happens every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 7pm.

Tuesday nights at JR's blend two things that work better together than they should: retro hits spinning on the sound system and trivia that'll test what you actually remember from the 80s, 90s, and 00s. It's the kind of low-key weeknight thing that builds a crowd of regulars who show up for the music, stay for the banter, and somehow always know the answers to questions about one-hit wonders.
