Smith Point

Georgetown, Washington, DC

Smith Point, a renowned social destination in Georgetown, DC, was established in 2000. It was named after a mile-long stretch of sand on Nantucket Island, famous for its surf, fishing, and spectacular sunsets. The restaurant offered an intimate dining experience with exposed brick walls and candlelit tables. Chef Robert Chapin crafted American continental cuisine, combining fresh green market ingredients with the finest seafood and cuts of meat. Smith Point quickly became a popular gathering spot for alumni of prominent high schools and colleges from the East and South. Over the years, this hidden Georgetown bar gained national recognition for its unique atmosphere and upscale clientele, remaining Washington's premier social destination for young professionals until its closure in 2017.
