Washington Square Bar & Grill

"A truly eclectic neighborhood bar & grill"

Washington Square is the perfect place to gather for great food & drinks and neighborly chatter. A place where friendly and talented staff welcome newcomers like regulars and serve regulars like family. A place where art and architecture surround you while local musicians play intimate sets. A place where lush outdoor patios and cozy wood-burning fireplaces entice you to stay just a little bit longer.

Come and experience for yourself what a neighborhood bar & grill is meant to be.
