NOTE: The 1409 Playbill Cafe closed in 2011.

An eclecitc neighborhood bar and restaurant with a strong following among local actors and theater types in DC, the humble-looking Playbill Cafe (1409 14th St. NW) packs in some pretty big crowds some evenings. The restaurants and bar just a block west of up-and-coming Logan Circle has karaoke, piano cabaret, and similar such entertainment many evenings, making it a cheery place to unwind with friends. From the kitchen, you can order burgers, Mediterranean dishes, and the like.
