Hand to God, I'd been there probably 10+ times before someone clued me in it was a gay bar and I had no idea.

Yeah it always seemed like a sports first bar. I've been to gay bars and I picked up no gay bar vibe from Nellies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, no one bought me a drink anytime I've been there. Am I magically worse looking the second I step into Nellies? Not bloody likely.

The readers' poll results are mostly usually garbage.
At least Baked and Wired beat Georgetown Cupcake.

What does this mean? You don't think people vote what they feel or you don't trust the people?
I mean the 930 Club is the best venue…ammirite?
I did say "mostly."
And I don't trust the people. I mean Brexit and Trump did just happen.

One of the worst beer stores in DC (actually Silver Spring) wins this award yearly for the best beer store. I'm perplexed, but this happens yearly. This survey has zero cred, brah.

I don't think it is so much that people are stupid.. I think certain stores do a better job of getting people to vote for them…. but YMMV
I completely agree that some of the results are ridiculous.. Exhibit A is Joe's Record "Paradise" winning best record store..
