D.C. native Curtis Nysmith has completed his transformation of the Goa space and debuts a deluxe sports bar called Capitol City on September 19. He hosted a preview last Tuesday and his contemporary design was buzzing with fashionable Hollywood denizens.

Nysmith enlisted Tag Front (BOA, Blue Velvet, Takami) to fashion the sprawling multi-room space after the kind of place you’d find along the D.C. waterfront, with plenty of brick, stone and glass and a mezzanine overlooking the main floor. Nysmith installed 46 TVs, with nothing on the main floor below 60 inches, plus a 14×8 foot high def “monster” and 4-5 different audio zones. It’s the Cahuenga Corridor, so don’t be surprised to find a separate VIP area. Capitol City also has back and front decks and roll-up windows to allow open-air. “If you took all the TVs out it still stands alone as a beautiful restaurant,” he said.

Executive Chef Shad Davis has crafted an expansive menu that hits on plenty of popular L.A. dishes, including thin crust pizzas ($10-12), spicy tuna on crispy rice ($8) with dime-sized slivers of jalapeno, and panko-crusted calamari with chili aioli ($10). You’ll also find plenty of soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers, plus Sicilian Meatball Sliders ($9) with marinara sauce, basil, arugula and Parmesan cheese on Hawaiian bread; Mac n’ Cheese ($10) with house-smoked bacon, mushrooms, scallions and a three-cheese-sauce; and entrees like the Grilled Pork Chop ($19) with cheese polenta cakes, cole slaw and Jim Beam apple chutney.
