Benjamin Bar & Lounge

Benjamin Franklin’s mind was never idle as he continually looked for ways to improve life.  He was famous for more than his inventions and for being the country’s first Postmaster General. He was also known as a “Founding Foodie” and for his belief that “There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking.” 

Benjamin Bar & Lounge brings our namesake’s lifelong passions of inventions, fine beverages and food to life in the 21st century. Experience wine by the spoon, champagne sabering, exquisite pastries, and charcuterie at a new level.

We invite you to enjoy our pastry team's freshly-made weekly spectacles themed by season and holiday. Benjamin Bar & Lounge has become D.C.’s new dessert destination.
