Masa 14 Bar / Restaurant

U Street Corridor, Washington, DC –

Inside the sparsely-decorated and industrial-sized space that makes up Masa 14, flocks of trendy urbanites gather to enjoy small plates, late nights, and bottomless brunches.

A brick wall lined with rows of empty tequila bottles near the entrance highlights the venue’s minimalist vibe, and simple veneer tables fill most of the spacious dining room.

During Happy Hour, buttoned-down professionals grab a spot at the sixty-foot polished stone bar to sample four-dollar specials or check the scores on one of three overhead flat-screens, while boisterous groups share rounds of mojitos and seafood appetizers at a long leather bench nearby and smaller gatherings opt for one of several backlit nooks across the room.

On Friday and Saturday nights – once the dinner crowd has had its fill of Latin- and Asian-inspired tapas like tuna sashimi flatbread and teriyaki chicken wings – a DJ kicks off a lineup of house and electronica that brings the international crowd of manicured men and chic party girls to its feet.

Though packed most nights with stylish diners and drinkers, the venue’s unlimited brunch on the weekends is also hugely popular, and includes all the Benedicts and mimosas needed to keep the most horrible hangovers at bay.

Day or night, Masa 14’s intricate bites and sweet cocktails are sure to have even the most demanding palate asking for mas…at least thirteen more times.
