Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us every Thursday at Zorba's Cafe! We gather on the second floor, or if weather permits, you may find us enjoying the outdoors at a street-side table. If you don’t see our group on the second floor, it’s likely we’re outside soaking up the ambiance.

Dear members! For those who are new to our gatherings, please note that we typically have fewer sign-ups than actual attendees. Regulars are accustomed to dropping by without an RSVP, so feel free to join us anytime between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM!

Welcome back to our beloved venue! We have cherished our time at Zorba's Cafe for many years. Come and find us on the second floor.

Our address is: 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station, this is the same spot where we’ve gathered every Thursday evening for years prior to 2015.

Everyone is invited to join, but please remember to converse in Russian only. For many of us, this is a valuable opportunity to practice our language skills. Enjoy happy hour pricing while you’re there!

Timing: While some members typically arrive by 5:30 PM, organizers might take until around 5:45 PM to arrive. If you arrive first, please hang tight; we’ll be there shortly! People usually stick around until at least 8 PM, so it’s perfectly fine to arrive a bit late.

RSVPs: We encourage you to RSVP, but keep in mind that many attendees may not. It might look like only a few people are planning to come, but rest assured, our group is usually larger and filled with fun! We often welcome newcomers, so if it’s your first time, you likely won’t be alone.

On nice weather days, we often sit outdoors. If you don’t see anyone on the second floor, just look for a lively group speaking Russian at the outdoor tables.

To reiterate, it’s common for only a handful of people to RSVP while a larger crowd shows up—don’t let that deter you.
We look forward to seeing you there!
