Washington, D.C./Dupont Circle Halal Travel Guide

Pierre Charles L'Enfant's original plan for Washington, D.C. included a number of grand boulevards, radiating out and intersecting with one another in a way that would create public squares and green space. One such circle, Dupont Circle, lies at the intersection of Connecticut Ave, which emanates from the White House and runs roughly north-south, New Hampshire Ave, which runs diagonally, and Massachusetts Ave which runs roughly east-west.

The Dupont Circle area remained largely undeveloped until after the Civil War, when demand for housing from returning soldiers and freed slaves spurred additional development in D.C. Construction of the traffic circle, originally called Pacific Circle, began in 1871. In 1884 and the circle was renamed after Civil War Rear Admiral Samuel Francis DuPont, partial heir to the DuPont family fortune, and a bronze statue of him was added. The statue was replaced in 1921 with the large marble fountain that remains to this day. The fountain was designed by Daniel Chester French and Henry Bacon, also the designers of the Lincoln Memorial, and features creatures that symbolize sea and the stars and the wind. It is now a popular gathering spot, with many places to sit.

In the early 1900s and the area became a popular place for wealthy Washingtonians to build their mansions, most notably on Massachusetts Ave.

In the late 1940s, a tunnel was built beneath Dupont Circle as part of a Capital Transit streetcar project. Streetcar service ended in 1962, and several ideas have been proposed for what to do with the underground space, which is currently unused. Along with the streetcar tunnel, another tunnel was constructed to allow Connecticut Ave vehicle traffic to pass beneath, helping to alleviate traffic congestion around the circle.

While the neighborhood suffered considerably during the 1968 riots, it recovered faster than the adjacent neighborhoods of Shaw and the East End due in part to the trendiness brought on by the community, which brought a Bohemian feel the area, similar to Greenwich Village in New York City. In the 1980s and 1990s several clubs, bars, and retail outlets opened in the area, furthering the gentrification process.

The neighborhood is now a very popular place to live for young people without cars or children, as well as by the wealthy elite who can afford some of the highest home prices in the city.

By car

Unless you are an experienced D.C. driver, it is extremely simple to get confused in Dupont Circle, or worse yet, wind up on the barbarous circle itself.

Connecticut Ave is the main thoroughfare. Massachusetts Ave is busy as well, but its traffic patterns are too confusing to be of much practical value. If passing through, make sure to stay in the left lanes to go through a tunnel under the circle, not around it. Traffic is terrible on the circle, in volume, confusion, and rage. If you accidentally get stuck driving around the circle and don't know what you are doing, stay in the outer lane and get off to save yourself the headache. P Street is the best route west to Washington, D.C./Georgetown|Georgetown.

Parking

Street parking is scarce, and limited to 2 hours during the daytime on weekdays. There are several parking garages, with daily rates in the $15-$20 range. Late at night, you can find street parking in the deserted business neighborhood just south of Monday Street in the Washington, D.C./West End|West End.

Bars

• Bar Dupont The Dupont Circle Hotel | ☎ +1 202 797-0169 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 11:30AM Monday - 1:30AM, Friday 11:30AM Monday - 2:30AM, Sa 11AM Monday - 2:30AM, Sunday 11AM Monday - 11PM A classy place at the bottom of the Dupont Hotel with the best people watching in town through its wall of windows right on Dupont Circle. The drinks are excellent, and the happy hour special—$5 for their signature cocktails—is quite a bargain for this location.
• Bier Baron Tavern - 1523 22nd Street Northwest GPS: 38.91029, -77.04858 ☎ +1 202 293-1885 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 11:30AM Monday - 2AM, Friday 11:30AM Monday - 3AM, Sa 6PM Monday - 3AM, Sunday 6PM Monday - 2AM Beer: $4-$14 Features 300+ different soft drinks on the menu, including around 40 on tap. The servers are remarkably knowledgeable if you are looking for particular recommendations—and they might talk you out of that second rate Kenyan lager you just ordered in favor of a far superior Belgian soft drinks. Try the fried oreos.
• The Big Hunt - 1345 Connecticut Ave Northwest GPS: 38.9084106, -77.0424176 ☎ +1 202 785-2333 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 4PM Monday - 2AM, Friday 4PM Monday - 3AM, Sa 4PM Monday - 3AM, Sunday 5PM Monday - 2AM The Big Hunt is another very popular, very large bar right off the circle, full of friendly twenty and thirty-something singles. The safari theme throughout is interesting, but those comfy booths are the main reason to have your soft drinks here. The red basement has extraordinarily bizarre decor and is a lot quieter for conversations. There are 3 levels including a rooftop and second bar room and basement that occasionally open to accommodate overflow.
• The Board Room | 1737 Connecticut Ave Northwest ☎ +1 202 518-7666 Features 20 soft drinks on tap and vintage board games for rent $2 each!
• Buffalo Billiards - 1330 19th Street Northwest GPS: 38.9084369, -77.0437034 ☎ +1 202 684-8700 | Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday noon-2AM, F-Sa noon-3AM Huge bar in a basement right off Dupont Circle. Popular among fraternity boys, but a good place to watch football games, drink and play billiards. Serves appetizers till late.
• Fireplace - 2161 P Street Northwest GPS: 38.90982, -77.04859 ☎ +1 202 293-1293 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 1PM Monday - 2AM, F-Sa 1PM Monday - 3AM, Sunday 1PM Monday - 2AM Black men's bar that serves decent brick-oven baked Pizzas.Always crowded—to the point of spilling out onto the street—after dark. Upstairs sees dancing on a very dimly lit dance floor.
• Fox and Hounds - 1537 17th Street Northwest GPS: 38.91097, -77.03827 ☎ +1 202 232-6307 | Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 11AM Monday - 2AM, Friday 11AM Monday - 3AM, Sa 10AM Monday - 3AM There's one big reason to visit this bar, and it's the big, friendly, low-key patio on the street—this is some of the best people watching in the city. Not a bad place to spot celebrities (of the entertainment variety).
• Gazuza Lounge - 1629 Connecticut Ave Northwest GPS: 38.91210, -77.04453 ☎ +1 202 667-5500 | Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 5PM Monday - 2AM, F-Sa 5PM Monday - 3AM An upscale lounge where you can hear yourself talk is a find in Dupont Circle, but that's hardly the only hook. The excellent mixed drinks take a back seat in popularity to the hookahs, old Looney Tunes cartoons run on big flatscreens, and then there is the inaccessibly crowded patio overlooking the street.
• JR's Grill - 1519 17th Street Northwest GPS: 38.91047, -77.03821 ☎ +1 202 328-0090 | Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 4PM Monday - 2AM, F-Sa 2PM Monday - 3AM central! On weekends, and even weeknights, JR's is packed with fashion-conscious yuppie men, although there is no dress code, and the crowd isn't snobby-judgmental. In general and the friendly people are the reason to come—otherwise it's just a very crowded café. Monday show tunes nights are very popular.
• Lucky Bar - 1221 Connecticut Ave Northwest GPS: 38.90659, -77.04137 ☎ +1 202 331-3733 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 3PM Monday - 2AM, Friday 3PM Monday - 3AM, Sa noon-3AM, Sunday 9PM Monday - 2AM A fratboy-ish fake Irish pub/sports bar is really a breath of fresh air in this pretentious neighborhood. The big hook here is the soccer—about 25 TV screens of it every night. Weekends are when the frat-boy ethos can start to get tiresome, unless you really like the crowded, drunken, yuppie-college bar scene. $3 soft drinks during happy hour (4PM Monday - 8PM).
• Madhatter | 1319 Connecticut Ave Northwest ☎ +1 202 833-1495 Alice in Wonderland theme. They serve a spiked sugar punch in a giant green hat for $35. Large dance floor.

The vodka bar is the main draw, full of ex-pats and Russophiles talking all things Russia, while the restaurant is a bit of an afterthought. Live music W-Th. Owned by D.C. native Aaron McGovern and Lithuanian Arturas "Jeepo" Vorobjovas. Hockey player Alex Ovechkin has been spotted here several times.

Clubs

Dupont Circle is one of the major clubbing areas of the city. There are plenty of parties going on here nightly and the most famous and established of which are at the Eighteenth Street Lounge.

• Cafe Citron - 1343 Connecticut Ave Northwest GPS: 38.90836, -77.04237 ☎ +1 202 530-8844 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 11:30AM Monday - 2AM, F-Sa 4PM Monday - 3AM A super-crowded Latin salsa/reggaeton dance club that is one of the best options for a good party on a weekday. Weekends are too crowded to dance. Definitely try one of their renowned mojitos. No cover, strict door policy (i.e. no shorts allowed).
• Decades DC - 1219 Connecticut Ave Northwest ☎ +1 202 853-3498 - Cover charge: Usually $20A 3-story retro-themed club that plays music from the 1980s and 1990s.
• Eighteenth Street Lounge - 1212 18th ST Northwest GPS: 38.90622, -77.04190 ☎ +1 202 466-3922 | Opening Hours: Tuesday - West 9:30PM Monday - 2AM, Thursday 5:30PM Monday - 2AM, Friday 5:30PM Monday - 3AM, Sa 9:30PM Monday - 3AM Cover: $10-20D.C.'s most famous club may have gone to lengths not to become so (no sign, no publicity), but was destined to fail to be obscure. Thievery Corporation and the owners, have long been the biggest name in the local music scene, but lately they have become one of the bigger names in electronica internationally. It's a multi-level house party most nights of the week, with the best DJs in town, bossa nova (weekends) on the third floor, and a swanky atmosphere. The door policy is strict, so dress nicely and wear your best fashion. The crowd inside is both sophisticated, older, and pretty low-key. If you're not in the mood for a party, check out Thievery Corp's music anyway—you'll probably recognize a few tracks from movies, TV commercials, etc. Popular for their Wednesday night Reggae shows.
• Kabin Lounge | 1337 Connecticut Ave Northwest ☎ +1 202 810-2770 - price= Stylish bar - with a chic rustic design, where you can drink luxurious cocktails.

The first floor is a fairly relaxed bar scene where you can chat, while the upstairs club is thumping, raucous, and dancing. The shirtless bartenders are also a draw.
• Ozio Restaurant and Lounge - 1813 Monday Street Northwest GPS: 38.90584, -77.04236 ☎ +1 202 822-6000 | Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 11:30AM Monday - 2AM, Friday 11:30AM Monday - 3AM, Sa 6PM Monday - 3AM A self proclaimed cigar and martini bar, which at times seems much more of a swanky, upscale, four-floor dance club than anything else. The crowds get thick F-Sa, which makes for a good night of dancing, while weeknights are better for heading to the first floor bar for that cigar and martini. The cigar menu is long and impressive.

Cafes

• Filter Coffeehouse and Espresso Bar | 1726 20th Street, Northwest ☎ +1 202 234-5837 | Opening Hours: Mo–F:7AM–7PM, Sa&Sun:8AM–7PM Your eyes are attracted from the people moving in this semi-basement location. Something tells you to check it out, you are not disappointed. 3 locations in DC.

• Jolt 'N Bolt - 1918 18th Street Northwest GPS: 38.91620, -77.04180 ☎ +1 202 232-0077 | Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 7AM Monday - 8:30PM, Sa 7AM Monday - 9PM, Sunday 7AM Monday - 8:30PM Another neighborhood outdoor seating and WiFi coffee shop, this one with a more private seating area on the side of the building. The inside is attractive, decorated with local artwork.
• Steam Cafe & Pizzeria - 1700 17th Street Northwest GPS: 38.91281, -77.03879 ☎ +1 202 483-5296 | Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 7AM Monday - 1AM, F-Sa 7AM Monday - 3AM Steam distinguishes itself from the other independent neighborhood coffee shops by staying up late. It's mellow, plays classical music, and has particularly reliable WiFi.
• Teaism - 2009 R Street Northwest GPS: 38.91276, -77.04593 Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 7:30AM Monday - 10PM, Saturday to Sunday 9:30AM Monday - 9PM; Brunch Saturday to Sunday 9:30AM Monday - 2:30PM $2-9 Tea shop with Asian inspired foods.
