Apero

An aperitif (cocktail) bar, a wine and cocktail bar, and a French restaurant owned and operated by a sommelier Located at 2622 P St NW in the heart of historic Georgetown, it offers a neighborhood vibe along a quiet street lined with row homes and colonial era architecture. It offers barista service weekdays, evening dinner service, and weekend brunch service on the weekends. For an intimate dinner or a drink and a snack, this is the ideal location. With dishes like sustainably farmed caviar, accoutrement, and waffles, as well as Seabass en pappillote, the culinary team is led by consulting Chef Paul Stearman. The overarching mission of Apéro is to create a space that fosters joy and a sense of belonging for everyone who enters the building.
