Notable Features
- What Makes It Special: Buffalo Billiards represents the resurrection of a DC sports bar legend after a six-year hiatus. After losing their Dupont Circle lease in 2019, owners Geoff Dawson and Curt Large purchased the former Source Theatre building for $4.5 million to bring this institution back to life. With over 25 years of history serving DC sports fans before closure, this isn't just another sports bar opening—it's the return of a venue that understood what the District's fans truly wanted.
- Sports Setup: The owners promise "the latest and greatest" TV and sound systems specifically designed for serious sports fans. The 8,000 square-foot, two-story space will provide perfect sightlines from anywhere in the venue. The combination of pool hall and sports bar means you can shoot stick during commercials and never miss a crucial Commanders play.
- Food & Drink: The menu keeps it classic with burgers, sandwiches, fries, and salads—exactly what you want during a long Sunday of Commanders football. They're bringing plenty of beer options and cocktails, including non-alcoholic offerings for designated drivers. The owners operate successful bars like Penn Social and Astro Beer Hall, so they know how to keep drinks flowing during packed game days.
- Atmosphere: Buffalo Billiards is bringing back the original mural and the bronze bear that guarded the entrance—touches that old-timers will appreciate and that honor the venue's 25-year legacy. The two-story layout creates different zones for different moods, whether you want the energy of the main floor during a Commanders touchdown or a slightly quieter spot upstairs. With billiards and shuffleboard leagues plus tournaments, this place will have that competitive energy that makes watching sports even better.
- Special Features: The venue will feature pool tables restored from the 1950s alongside shuffleboard, darts, and basketball arcade games for entertainment between plays and during commercial breaks. A century-old Art Deco bar made from burled walnut will serve as the stunning centerpiece of the establishment. Billiards and shuffleboard leagues and tournaments will create a competitive spirit that enhances the game day atmosphere. Future plans include a potential roof deck for those perfect DC spring and fall game days when you want to watch Commanders games outdoors. The fact that Dawson and Large purchased the building rather than leasing shows long-term commitment to DC sports fans who won't lose this gathering spot again.
