The vibrant restaurant group behind Dupont Circle’s beloved Greek restaurant Balos is thrilled to announce the opening of its latest culinary venture, Bar Angie. This chic day-to-night bistro draws inspiration from classic New York eateries while infusing a touch of European elegance, promising to be a new go-to destination for unforgettable dining experiences.
Conceived by native New Yorkers Stefanos Vouvoudakis, Tom Tsiplakos, and Joe Ragonese, Bar Angie serves a diverse menu rich with hearty, classic bistro favorites. Guests can indulge in dishes like the decadent Wagyu French Dip, little neck pasta, and the creatively reimagined Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons. The highlight is the Angie Chop Martini—a tender, buttery pork chop crowned with flavorful toppings, embodying the spirit of indulgence.
At its heart, Bar Angie is a martini bar, showcasing an array of expertly crafted martinis, including the signature Angie’s Dirty Duo, along with an exclusive selection of espresso martinis from For Five Coffee Roasters. Each cocktail is thoughtfully designed to pair with the menu, enhancing both the dining and social experience.
With live music several nights a week, particularly jazz, Bar Angie aims to transport guests to the lively Parisian jazz clubs of today, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and fun. The soundtrack, combined with the hum of conversation and clink of martini glasses, sets the tone for evenings that feel both celebratory and intimate.
“Angie is all of us,” says Vouvoudakis. “She embodies the joy of savoring exquisite food and drinks, whether it’s a leisurely brunch or an evening with friends over martinis.”
From the welcoming brunch service to its late-night energy, Bar Angie offers an experience that evolves with the day. The interiors balance sleek, modern design with warm, intimate touches—think soft lighting, rich textures, and a lively bar that grows more electric as the evening progresses. A European-leaning wine list and rotating seasonal specials keep the menu dynamic, while approachable yet refined service makes it equally suited for casual lunches or celebratory nights out. With bold flavors, vibrant spirit, and a commitment to hospitality, Bar Angie is poised to become a true neighborhood staple in Washington, D.C.
