ASSI - A friend and I had the pleasure of attending a Happy Hour at Current where there was an open bar from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Current is located at 1215 Connecticut Avenue, NW. We had an enjoyable time, the DJ was really good; however, it was our first time. According to Current's site it is, Washington's newest sushi/lounge that combines a new intricately designed with traditional and modern Japanese cuisine. Current was developed with modern luxury yacht details in mind. Hardwood floors cover the "deck" and long glass bar tops glow to accent the wavy metal pieces below. Water tanks of moving colorful waves are set in the ceiling, enhancing the nautical theme.

Guest can sit at the open interactive sushi bar and watch as their chefs create innovative had rolls that showcase a modern twist to sushi. Traditional items such as miso soup, California and Dragon rolls are made to order. Seasonal fish and produce are brought in fresh from the finest global and local markets. A variety of fusion style hot dishes are also available. An extensive offering of sake, wine, beer , and signature cocktails complements, the menu.
