The Atlas Performing Arts Center is the heart of Washington's newest arts and entertainment neighborhood, dubbed the Atlas District. The area has attracted entrepreneurs with imagination, vision and a sense of humor. The Atlas District has quickly emerged as a nightlife destination, as evidenced by this recent article from the front page of the Washington Post's Food Section.
The most recent addition the H Street dining is Sticky Rice, an Asian fusion restaurant that offers traditional sushi plus innovative intrepretations of other Pan-Asian classics. Not to be missed are the crispy and addictive tater tota, served in a bucket with side of spicy dipping sauce.
The newest hot-spot on H is the hip yet earthy, Belgian-style gastropub, Granville Moore's. Granville's chef Teddy Folkman recently beat celeb-chef Bobby Flay on a mussels and fries episode of Throwdown on the Food Network. (The ONLY Washington chef to appear on the show so far.Click here to hear him describe the event.)
Local favorite the Argonaut is a nautically-themed neighborhood pub with a full dinner and Sunday brunch menu. The Argonaut is now a family destination with a new kids menu and will feed the little pirates for free on Wednesday nights.
For coffee, tea and Merlot, try Sova Espresso and Wine, it is just up H at 1359. Featuring a menu of delicious espresso drinks and a thoughtful selection of wine and beer.
The H Street Martini Lounge serves up an array of cocktails and small plates.
For pre or post show drinks, H Street offers a variety of choices. The Palace of Wonders is DC's most outrageous nightclub filled with side-show oddities. The Red and the Black is a cozy pub featuring live music serving a small menu of Louisiana favorites. The Rock and Roll Hotel is a two-story music venue offering live music nightly.
New
restaurants, bars, lounges and art galleries are opening in and around
the Atlas District monthly so be sure to check back here often as we
will be adding venues as soon as they are open.
