Top Black-Owned Brunch Spots to Try

Lady Bird

  “Lady Bird is a neighborhood rooftop lounge within walking distance to Dupont and Logan Circle, offering a sense of relaxed refinement and discovery. Feel on top of the world with expansive views of Washington DC while sipping on creative hand-crafted cocktails and seasonal small plates by crackling fire pits. It is the perfect place to celebrate or simply re-connect with friends and the city below.” -open table 

The Park at 14th

The Park on 14th “There are a number of spots that have taken the Black clubstaurant idea and run with it, but The Park on 14th paved the way and we like to give credit where credit is due. You aren’t going to get good food here (or at most clubstaurants), so put that out your mind. But you will have a good time, whether you show up for Happy Hour, brunch, or a late-night grinding session. The vibe is always different, depending on the time of day, day of the week, and which of the four floors you’re on. But if you and your people are looking for a fun time where you can soak up your alcohol with subpar soul food, you won’t miss at The Park.” - Infatuation

Flavorture

“Flavorture's elevated American Soul experience is a collaboration of Chef Mac! and Chef Pinke's culinary expertise brought to life. Conveniently located in Historic Woodley Park adjacent to the prestigious Omni Shoreham Hotel. Our top shelf bourbon and whiskey centric bar which is second to none, along with our cozy outdoor patio seating, exquisite cuisine and superior customer service further elevates the entire dining experience.” - Open table
