Café Saint-Ex
Music photographer Mike Benson opened Café Saint-Ex in 2003 and it was an immediate hit. Over the past four years, its popularity hasn’t waned although its weekend scene has definitely transitioned a bit. During the evening, Café Saint-Ex is a restaurant that offers contemporary American cuisine and at night, turns into one […]
Lima
Lima is a restaurant and club located at 1401 K Street. It is not really a club that serves food nor is it a restaurant that turns into a club at night - it is actually a fairly balanced establishment that has the best of both worlds. As you can tell (or can’t […]
Lucky Bar
Lucky Bar is the destination of choice for many seeking out a fun, loud and cheap dive bar. For the most part, Lucky Bar is an institution so you can always find a diverse crowd just hanging out, dancing, playing pool, throwing darts or watching sports. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, soccer fans flock here […]
Local 16
Local 16 is a lounge/club located in the U Street corridor that has been around since September 2002. For the past few years, it has been one of my favorite venues in the U Street area. It was created with the vision of providing the local U Street denizens with a cool place to hang […]

Bossa Bistro & Lounge
Bossa is a lounge / restaurant located at 2463 18th Street in the heart of Adams Morgan. As you can guess from the name, they are Brazilian influenced although between you, me and the World Wide Web I can’t really figure out why they are Brazilian influenced because they don’t seem to serve Brazilian food […]
