About this Event
Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and exceptional cuisine at Balos Estiatorio, a Michelin-recognized gem in the heart of Washington, DC. Set where timeless Mediterranean flavors meet the sophistication of the city, Balos offers an experience that is both elevated and welcoming. Whether you're winding down from the workday or seeking to spark new professional connections, this is your moment to enjoy the best of what DC has to offer—on a plate, in a glass, and all around the table.
Balos draws its name and spirit from the idyllic Balos Lagoon on the island of Crete—an oasis known for its beauty, warmth, and vibrant atmosphere. Much like its namesake, the restaurant evokes a sense of ease and abundance. The space is modern and airy, yet grounded in old-world charm. It’s a place where rustic elegance meets metropolitan energy, inviting guests to linger over a glass of Assyrtiko while conversations—new and old—come alive.
At the core of Balos is a passion for hospitality shaped by industry veterans who envisioned a space where people could gather not just to eat, but to truly connect. Whether you’re coming with colleagues or walking in solo, you’ll be greeted like family.
This happy hour isn’t just about drinks—it’s about building relationships. Meet new faces from across DC’s professional, creative, and cultural communities. Start a conversation that could lead to your next big idea—or your next favorite dining companion. With the city’s buzz just beyond the door and the warmth of Crete in the air, you’ll find yourself in exactly the right place.
We look forward to welcoming you. Come for the flavor, stay for the friendship—it’s a toast to new beginnings, shared stories, and the magic of a table well set.
