When night turns to day, a local bar transforms into a trendy café in downtown DC. Welcome to the Blind Dog Café. Located just a couple of blocks from the U Street Metro Station, the Blind Dog Café is a trendy, comfortable place to come for breakfast or lunch. It’s hard not to like the ambiance, with brick walls, big windows to people watch and comfy chairs and sofas everywhere. This is the coffee house/café you’ve always wanted in your neighborhood! Get a tasty espresso and fresh baked goods to start your day, then come back for an equally delicious sandwich on a fresh baguette. But remember, when the sun goes down, the bar (namely Darnell’s Bar) comes out!
