Minetta Tavern DC

Named after the Minetta Brook — which ran southwest in New York City — the Tavern was frequented by various layabouts and hangers-on including Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, E. E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould, as well as by various writers, poets, and pugilists.

Since its renovation, Minetta Tavern has best been described as "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern."

Keith McNally brought the concept to Union Market in Washington DC... We hope — and believe — that's a somewhat accurate description of the place.

Minetta Tavern DC is happy to entertain large events of up to 100 guests in our main dining room. The Lucy Mercer Lounge is able to host up to 60 guests for lounge seating, 75 guests for seated dinners, and 120 guests for cocktail receptions.
