As DC goes increasingly upscale, dive bars in the District are becoming a rare find. But Columbia Height’s Red Derby is dive done well. It’s a 20 minute hike from the nearest bar district, Adams Morgan. It doesn’t have a sign. It serves beer only in cans — everything from a $2 can of Schlitz to $6 craft brews, such as Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. And, of course, all its food comes with a side of tater tots.
