It’s officially June — the month of backyard barbecues, poolside soirees, and most importantly: Pride.

Celebrated annually all month long, Pride brings us 30 sunny days dedicated entirely to celebration, education, and advocacy in the name of the LGBTQ+ community. And since DC has never been known to do anything halfway (especially when it comes to Pride Month), neither should you. From charming coffee shops to vintage treasure troves, there’s plenty of ways to show your support this year — and we’re breaking them down for you right here.

Keep reading for 6 LGBTQ+ businesses you can support in honor of Pride!

#1 Republic Restoratives: Opening Republic Restoratives may have seemed like a risky move for Pia Carusone and Rachel Gardner, as the female duo had no prior distillery experience and were taking a shot at a male-led industry. However, Republic has been nothing short of a spirited success. Offering distilled spirits that range from rye to vodka to apple brandy, the DC company is both women-owned and LGBTQ+-owned, as both Causone and Gardner live in DC with their same-sex partners. Today, Republic is the largest crowdfunded distillery in America and continues to promote community outreach, inclusivity, and so much more.

#2 Three Fifty Bakery and Coffee: Stop by for freshly made pastries, desserts, and more at gay-owned Three Fifty Bakery and Coffee on U Street. Jimmy Hopper baked as a hobby for about 15 years before relocating to DC and opening his shop, which is named after the preferred oven temperature for baking.

#3 Miss Pixie’s: This super cute shop on 14th Street sells vintage furnishings, accessories, and art. Pixie Windsor (known as Miss Pixie to her many friends) has been selling mid-century lounge chairs, 1940s art deco tables, and groovy artwork since 2008, and dealing in stylish vintage wares in DC since the 1990s. Miss Pixie’s is a go-to for locals looking to give their home a little pop of originality and flair.

#4 Knead Hospitality & Design: Partners Michael Reginbogin and Jason Berry co-founded Knead Hospitality & Design in 2014, which has since brought forth beloved DC restaurants Mi Vida, Succotash Prime, Gatsby, and The Grill. The pair works ambitiously, creating independent concepts first before seeking out ways to execute on their vision.

#5 Capital Candy Jar: Dave Burton started out on the wild side of sweets, making and selling lollipops in school at age 14 before his principal shut him down for outselling the vending machines. Now, Burton sells his chocolate confections to the masses. Capital Candy Jar offers seasonally decorated pretzel rods, delectable gift boxes, giant peanut butter cups, and much more. Here, you can even bite into chocolate covered Oreos embellished with an edible image, such as the DC flag or the US Capitol Building!

#6 Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse: This beloved restaurant has been a staple of the Dupont Circle neighborhood since opening in 1948. The original Paramount Steakhouse became Annie’s in the early 1960s to honor owner George Katinas’ sister, who paved the way in embracing the LGBTQ+ community. After Annie’s passing in 2013, a section of a close-by street was named after her. Annie’s legacy still lives on at this classic steakhouse, which has been nominated for a James Beard Award during its storied history.
