New Gay Bar Opens Below Salty Dog Tavern in Dupont Circle

Look below the Salty Dog Tavern and you’ll find Dupont Circle’s newest gay bar.

The hangout, called the Woof Den Sports Bar, opened in the former basement space of the Black Fox Lounge at 1723 Connecticut Ave. NW last month, reported the Blade.

Though the Woof Den and the upstairs Salty Dog Tavern have separate entrances, they’re owned by the same person, said several employees behind the bar.

The bar has several televisions and two pool tables. According to the Blade, Woof Den “plans to coordinate bar events with the bear community in the coming months.”

Another bear-centric gay bar, Uproar, opened in Shaw last month.
