On Sunday I finally had a chance to check out Zeba Bar, the new (ish) bar at 14th and Newton, and it’s a pretty cool spot.
It’s a good spot for sitting outside, there’s a big front patio with 4 tables facing 14th, plus a back patio area, as well as an indoor space and a dance floor with a DJ booth on the second floor. The bartender said they have DJs play on Friday and Saturday nights upstairs. There’s also food, mostly traditional bar variety (pizza, burgers, breaded and fried wings) but also with some Middle Eastern fare like hummus, eggplant dip, and a chicken kebab. I got the kebab, which comes with lettuce, tomatoes and yogurt sauce, and it was good stuff. Here’s the food menu.
Drinks-wise, it’s ostensibly a wine bar, but is really more of a neighborhood watering hole with some wine and good traditional cocktails like a Manhattan, mojito, etc. My buddy said the Firefly vodka ice tea was good.
The bartender was a friendly guy, and they had a nice draft beer selection, like Abita Amber, Lagunitas Lil’ Sumpin Sumpin, Bell’s Oberon, Sierra Nevada, Chimay and some others. It was $4 drafts for all but Chimay when we were there, and they have a whole bunch of good happy hour deals (see here and here) plus new deals are posted on their Facebook page.
In short, it’s a good spot. Go check it out. The address is 3423 14th Street NW.
