The decorative wall images are a tribute to the legacy of Washington and U Street as a Cultural Center for Jazz. At the far end of the dining area is an appropriately located fireplace and lounge, complete with a piano, projecting a warm, sumptuous feeling.

The dining room will offer a complete 3-5-course menu of contemporary and traditional American cuisine consisting of Poultry, Seafood, and Beef dishes with special emphases on barbecue.

Our wait staffs are well-trained experienced professionals, with extensive knowledge in food and beverages, and an appreciation for the fine points of great table service.

The Caverns

Representing the rich history of the former Bohemian Caverns was no easy task. The new décor in the below ground club goes beyond all-previous interiors in terms of dramatize effect, acoustics, and comfort.

Colorful textured walls and ceilings are an embellished representation of the former stalactite and stalagmite accents. Corner seating bays are mounted against the walls adjacent to a fireplace lounge area.

The mood of the new Caverns is dramatically illuminated and accentuated by a modest stage in the center back wall flanked by colored tree-limb cavern columns. Small waterfalls punctuate the bar from intriguing recessed carving into adjacent wall space. The bar features a rough-cut glazed pure-marble top, which is repeated on the wall-mounted drink stands.

Guest furnishings are apropos in the form of wood tree-trunks dining tables. Light appetizer fare is available for patrons, in addition to a unique drink menu and is served before, during, or after performances.

Upstairs; the second landing presents a lively nightclub atmosphere, with two spacious lounges and bars. The level, known as Club 2001, is well suited for dancing and private parties, and features a DJ booth for mixing recorded music with appropriate lighting. The Club 2001 allows for a diversity of entertainment with separate entrance from the Club Caverns. The high ceiling and two-story balcony framed by decorative wrought-iron railings, creates an elegant but festive atmosphere, with the capacity to entertain over 300 people.
