The Scene

Dupont Circle, Washington, DC –

With a prime location on the rim of the most famous circle in the District, CIRCA at Dupont offers nearby business professionals an excuse to sneak in a fancy cocktail at lunch – or stick around for the evening throngs of well-to-do singles that call this neighborhood home.

During the week, the suit and tie crowd tends to fill the seats at the marble-top bar where they can catch the game over a few pomegranate martinis, as groups of cosmopolitan tourists and trendy friends take over the cozy, earth-toned dining area to snack on filet mignon sliders and lobster ravioli.

A long, communal high-top table in the center and a row of leather chairs along the narrow windows offer ample space for attractive singles to mingle and flirt, while the patio out front provides a good vantage point for watching the bustling Dupont scene.

Weekends, meanwhile, bring a brunch crowd looking to cure hangovers with a few pounds from a Red Hammer – the restaurant’s specialty Bloody Mary made with horseradish-infused vodka.

Sporting a sleek décor and comfy lounge atmosphere, CIRCA is a welcoming neighborhood bar perfect for relaxing, drinking, and exchanging numbers.

Tip from Adriana:

Try the SPF80 – that’s tequila, coconut rum, sprite, and whipped cream. Yes, it looks like tanning lotion – but it tastes like a summer dream.

CIRCA at Dupont User Reviews

tartars Dec 8, 2012 3.0 stars Chic Cafe in the Circle I can’t speak for the nightlife at Circa, but I know it’s a prime lunch spot. Anywhere that serves fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh, good-tasting food is good to me. Circa is very trendy—that side of it is hard to miss, what with the floor to ceiling glass, the sophisticated white lettering and young, moneyed clientele—but it’s not overwhelmingly so. The food is nice, if pricey, and people-watching around Dupont is always a laugh.
