Prolific restaurateur and bar owner Linda Derschang (Linda's, King’s Hardware, Smith, Oddfellows, Little Oddfellows, Tallulah's, and Bait Shop) is debuting another Capitol Hill project, Club Leche, tonight. Appropriately, the kitchen at Leche (the Spanish word for milk) will serve small plates called tapas, and the bar will offer a full selection of cocktails.

Tallulah's and Little Oddfellows, Derschang's most recent projects, are airy, light-filled spaces that focus on simpler, lighter food—vegetable-driven plates, whole grains, and made-from-scratch pastries. Leche is a bit of departure from this. It's more bar and nightclub than restaurant, with a decor inspired by "Bieber’s entourage, popped bottles, strobe lights, shame, mall culture, and keeping it '100.'"

One unique aspect of Leche's bar program will be its happy hour bottle service, created in partnership with TMZ, Grey Goose, and Axe Body Spray. According a press release from the Derschang Group, "LECHE is the Kim Kardashian of bars, featuring an ultra-exclusive, VIP experience."

Doors open at 4 p.m. today. Club Leche is located at 606 Broadway E.
