Circa was conceived as a community gathering place offering alcohol, a casual food menu and an energized social scene. Set within the Dupont Circle area serving a professional and urbane clientele, Circa provides an ambiance that is warm, inviting and current.

The striking back-lit bar area produces an active atmosphere for the open space dining room. The centrally located thirty seat hightop table has proven to be a popular dining or drinks only seating option. A dramatic 1500 wine bottle display contrasts to the soft beige suede acoustic media wall and ceiling pane, providing the perfect coloring effect for the dining areas. Doors open to the south facing outdoor café, which adds a humanistic element to a busy urban corner. The European-style canopy creates shade and cover from the rain allowing for a comfortable dining as well as people watching experience. Circa has arguably one of the best "restaurant corners" in the city.

High definition plasma monitors located behind the bar and on our media wall offer numerous formats of entertainment including sporting events, concerts, music videos, and background support for our food and wine tasting events. A state of the art sound system plays digital music and features a "sorting option" where songs can be downloaded and played upon request.

Focusing on the freshest products offered at reasonable prices, delivered by a caring staff Circa strives to be included on that special list of your "favorite spots".
