Why Everyone Is Talking About Live Jazz in DC (and Why No Cover Charge Changes Everything)

There is a specific kind of magic that settles over Georgetown every Wednesday evening. As the sun dips behind the historic row houses, a rhythmic pulse begins to echo from 1736 Wisconsin Ave. At Bistrot Lepic & Wine Bar, we believe the middle of the week shouldn't just be endured: it should be celebrated with the velvety notes of a saxophone and the crisp snap of a chilled Chablis.

Jazz with No Strings (and No Cover)

Finding authentic live jazz DC fans can truly sink their teeth into is one thing; finding it without a steep cover charge is another entirely. Every Wednesday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, our upstairs wine bar transforms into an intimate stage for local virtuosos.

By removing the barrier of a cover charge, we invite you to simply "drop in." Whether you are a seasoned jazz aficionado or a curious newcomer, you can embark on a sensory journey where the music is as sophisticated as the menu. It’s about the democratization of culture: world-class talent paired with approachable elegance.

The Ultimate Wine Bar Experience

As a premier wine bar Washington DC locals have cherished since 1995, our wine program is curated to harmonize with the live performances. Imagine the deep, earthy undertones of a Pinot Noir mirroring the resonance of a double bass, or a bright, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc dancing alongside a trumpet solo.

Authenticity in Every Note and Bite

While the music sets the mood, our kitchen provides the soul. As a quintessential French restaurant Washington DC institution, we pride ourselves on serving what many call the best French food DC has to offer. From savory duck medallions to luscious seared foie gras, every dish is a reimagined classic designed to delight the senses.
