One of the few nightlife spots in the H Street corridor not owned by über-barman Joe Englert, the Majestic is a quiet, unpretentious spot that offers live jazz and blues. Run by Gwen Reese, the bar often draws a crowd made up more of older neighborhood types than hipsters from elsewhere in the city. The cozy atmosphere provides a good spot to sit and listen to the music. Sit at the bar and sip a drink or sample from the full bar menu of Southern soul food (be sure to try the chicken wings).
