Kingfisher is a beloved basement bar tucked beneath Savon Liquors in the Logan Circle / 14th Street NW corridor of Washington, DC. The vibe is intentionally laid back — a refuge from the bustle above. It champions simplicity and comfort: canned craft beers, a modest cocktail selection, friendly staff, and touches like free popcorn to nibble on while you drink. Despite its casual aesthetic, Kingfisher is known for its community-oriented programming: daily happy hour, trivia nights, bingo, themed discount nights (like Whiskey Wednesday), movie screenings, board games, and pop-up food nights when local trucks join in. The mission seems to be — make a bar where people feel at ease, where the staff knows you by name, and where the drink experience is good but not pretentious. Kingfisher emphasizes simplicity: no taps, just canned beers (selection rotates), canned wine, spirits, and cocktails. The interior is modest, basement-level, with dark lighting and cozy corners. Reviews often call it a “divey” bar with heart, and many patrons appreciate that you can talk without shouting — a contrast to louder nightlife spots. In sum: Kingfisher is a welcoming, neighborhood basement bar that offers solid drinks, comfortable ambiance, and community programming — perfect when you want something relaxed, friendly, and low-stress in DC.
