Why you'll love it

The bar for DC’s bon vivants

Settle into Opaline’s mirror-and-marble bar for a high point to your evening. Our wine list, expertly curated by our sommelier Christopher Wilson, celebrates Old and New World wines, with a focus on the best vineyards in France and the US. Vintage Champagnes add a pop to celebrations, while whisky flights from local Filibuster Distillery tempt those with a passion for small-batch beverages.

Terrace dining in the heart of the city

Our locally sourced, artisanal dishes are somehow especially flavorful on our outdoor terrace. Here, you can slow down and take the time to savor food with the focus it deserves. Relax and relish the warmth of the sun, the serene greenery and the bustle of the street beyond. In summer, graceful canopies give shade, while the soft glow of orb-like lamps lends a touch of romance come evening.
