About us

Safe Bars team members are dedicated to making bars, restaurants, breweries, and other alcohol-industry venues safe and welcoming for all – including those who work there. Safe Bars has certified more than 40 establishments in Washington, DC, and helped set up Safe Bars teams in 25 cities, towns, and counties (and several breweries!) in the U.S. and Canada.
