Awesome, hip spot in DuPont Circle. Love the wine selection and the pizza is great. Suggest getting there quite early because it gets very crowded!

Great noodles and even better cocktails

BENITOS PLACE - Updated July 2025 - 188 Photos & 160 Reviews
Great for a girls night, the tasting menu is probably the best deal for a tasting menu in DC.

Everyone will tell you this is a tourist trap but it really is that good. The drinks, the food, the oysters.
Le Diplomate
Best happy hour on 14th street in my opinion, and the Detroit style pizza is excellent
Red Light Bar & Detroit Pizza
