Joey Arias Returns to L’Enfant’s Speak Eeasy

2012 03 01 music 7108 7015

Following on its insanely popular brunch house party La Boum every Saturday and the annual Bastille Day French Maid Relay Race, L’Enfant Cafe and Bar offers this social dining event on select Sundays each month. Speak Easy transforms the space into a Prohibition Era venue — complete with back door entrance, dim lighting and drawn shades — serving drinks, a three-course dinner and a live show that’s very of this century, with singing drag queens, comedians and DJs spinning dance tunes. New York singing drag artist legend Joey Arias co-produces the show, and returns to lead the shenanigans after his show Arias With A Twist ended at Woolly Mammoth. Most late shows end in a DJ dance party. This Sunday, May 13. L’Enfant Cafe and Bar, 2000 18th St. NW. Reservations are required; cost is $50 for the 7 p.m. dinner show, or $10 plus a two-drink minimum for the 10:30 p.m. late show. Call 202-319-1800 or visit lenfantcafe.com.
