There’s a new martini bar in Washington, DC—and it’s the coolest place to be right now.
Bar Angie just opened in the West End neighborhood. It’s already one of the best new restaurants in Washington DC. If you love cocktails, cozy vibes, or just want a fun night out, this is the spot.
This is from the team behind Balos, the packed Greek restaurant in Dupont Circle. Now, they’ve brought that same energy to a stylish space just blocks from Foggy Bottom. And they’ve added something rare for DC: live music several nights a week.
The inside looks like a New York bistro, with deep green walls, fancy art, and mosaic floors from the Mediterranean. The solid zinc bar will age like wine, growing more beautiful with time. It’s the kind of place that feels classic and cool at the same time.
At Bar Angie, the focus is clear: martinis. Try the house special, Angie’s Dirty Duo, with blue cheese olives and an extra pour on the side. You can even order from a martini cart that rolls right up to your table. There’s also a full espresso martini menu, made with coffee from For Five Coffee Roasters, a New York favorite.
The food? Comforting and crave-worthy. Think: a Wagyu French Dip with mozzarella and horseradish cream, a Bolognese Blanc pasta in white wine sauce, and a pork chop “martini” topped with peppers and cheese. Even the Caesar salad comes with fried cream cheese croutons. Brunch at Bar Angie is also a big draw, with champagne, friends, and great people-watching. It’s already a favorite for George Washington University students, World Bank professionals, and locals who want a stylish hangout that goes from day to night.
As co-founder Stefanos Vouvoudakis puts it, “Angie is all of us. She’s here to enjoy life.”
So if you’re looking for a fun new place in West End DC, head to Bar Angie. You’ll find great drinks, delicious food, and maybe your new favorite night out.
