Bar Spero

Located between Union Station and Chinatown in D.C.’s East End, Bar Spero is the latest concept from acclaimed D.C. chef, Johnny Spero. Inspired by the spirited, fast-paced energy of the Basque nightlife and dining scene, Bar Spero is a lively seafood bar and grill that draws inspiration from traditions of open-fire grilling and freshly shucked seafood. Our innovative menu is paired with an ingredient-driven bar program serving masterful versions of modern classics. Embodying the dynamic energy of the District’s downtown culture, Bar Spero is the perfect setting for lively cocktail receptions, intimate private dinners, and celebrations of any kind.
