Annie's Paramount Steakhouse

Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse is a historic LGBTQ+-friendly restaurant located in Washington, D.C., known for its welcoming atmosphere, classic American cuisine, and decades-long support of the queer community. Opened in 1948, Annie’s became a beloved safe haven for LGBTQ+ patrons during a time when few such spaces existed. Today, it continues to be a cherished gathering spot, serving hearty steaks, comfort food, and cocktails in a vibrant and inclusive environment. With its iconic neon sign and rich legacy, Annie’s is more than a steakhouse—it’s a symbol of queer resilience, visibility, and pride in the heart of the nation’s capital.
