The trio behind a few of DC’s vibrant nightclubs and restaurant concepts are now coming together again to open a new juice bar and restaurant concept called Llamabar.
Llamabar is slated to open in September at 1 M St. SE building near Nationals Park, according to Bisnow. The new concept will span a 2,000-square-feet space and will be run by co-owners Wayne Johnson, Tony Perry, and Kyle Eubanks.
Perry and Johnson own nightclubs Saint Yves at Connecticut Ave and Abigail at 1730 M St NW in DC, and they have partnered with Eubanks to open ramen bar Kitsuen in 2019.
Johnson, Perry, and Eubanks are now introducing a different concept with Llamabar, featuring a smoothie bar and a menu that offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with dishes ranging from salads, and avocado toast, to açai bowls.
Llamabar’s indoor seating area has a capacity for about 60 guests, while its outdoor patio can take around six more tables. The spot will also be remote-work friendly.
“Remote work is the thing of the future, so we wanted to make it a comfortable space you could do that in, have tea, coffee, juice, a smoothie, lunch wrap or dinner in that space, you can get work done and its an encouraging coworking environment,” Johnson said told Bisnow.
What Now DC reached out to Wayne Johnson by phone and text for comment.
