Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Jul 3, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us for an exciting evening at Zorba's Cafe every Thursday! Our gathering will take place on the second floor, or if the weather is pleasant, we will be enjoying our time outside at a street-side table. If you don't find us on the second floor, just look for us outdoors!

Дорогие участники! Для тех, кто ещё не был на наших встречах - обычно меньше людей записывается, чем приходит. "Старожилы" привыкли к тому, что записываться не обязательно, и просто приходят в любое время с 5:30 до 8 вечера. Так что не стесняйтесь, присоединяйтесь к нам!

Welcome back to our favorite spot! This venue holds many memories as we have been gathering at Zorba's Cafe for years. Make your way to the second floor.

Location: 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

We are conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station.
This is the same beloved place where we met every Thursday evening prior to 2015.

Everyone is invited to join our gathering! We kindly ask that conversations be conducted in Russian, as this is a wonderful opportunity for many of us to practice our language skills. Enjoy special happy hour pricing on drinks!

Event Timing: Arrivals typically start around 5:30 PM, but the organizers may take a bit longer to arrive, sometimes until 5:45 PM. If you arrive before us, please hang tight—we’ll be there! Many attendees stay until at least 8 PM, so if you can’t make it right at the start, feel free to come later!

RSVP Policy: While I encourage you to RSVP, keep in mind that many participants may not. It may appear that only a few people are signed up, but rest assured, we often have a lively and fun group! Newcomers often join us, so if it’s your first time, you certainly won’t be alone.

On nice weather days, we often sit outside, so if you don’t see anyone on the second floor, just look for the group enjoying the outdoors, speaking Russian at the street tables.

To reiterate, we may have only a handful of RSVPs, but it’s common for 15 or more to attend. So, no worries about the numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
