“Snallygaster is the District’s biggest & beastliest beer festival, bar none. And, on October 10th, the merry monster makes its triumphant return to DC for its 14th year as a rollicking tribute to the wonderful world of craft beer. Festival goers can expect a mind-boggling selection of 450 highly sought-after brews on draft from nearly 175 of the finest American and international producers set against a backdrop of local food trucks and two stages of live music.
Brought to you by the minds behind DC’s Bluejacket, ChurchKey, The Sovereign, Shelter and more, this is far and away the biggest event of the year for beer geeks of every stripe.

As always, PLEASE: Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Tell ’em PoPville told you. They’re going to ask…

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Solly’s Tavern. Hell, I’m a huge fan of Solly himself. And Neil is OK too. Joking aside, as we speak of so many places that have closed it always reassuring to stop in to Solly’s and see everything exactly as it should be, which is to say, simple, solid and always good people. While I do miss those draft Heinekens, everything else is the best. Well, the second best. Love and respect to Solly’s, always. Here’s to many more!!
Granville Moore’s
“DC’s Original Belgian Beer & Moules Frites Tavern”
Thanks to a few readers for sharing the sad news with us: “I learned tonight that Granville Moore’s is officially closing on October 31.”
What a run :( After opening in 2007, after 10 years we learned that the owner of the Queen Vic was taking over Granville Moore’s from Chef Teddy Folkman. During Covid in 2020 there was fear of a closure but fortunately we had a ‘Do You Believe in Miracles? Granville Moore’s edition’.
Granville Moore’s was a massive addition to the neighborhood. Granville Moore’s was one of the first to bring excitement to a revitalizing (pre-streetcar!) H Street, NE along with the Argonaut, Red and the Black, Palace of Wonders, Rock and Roll Hotel (all RIP) and thank God the still open Pug next door. Granville Moore’s was great. Granville Moore’s is great. They will be missed. Maybe there will be another miracle in the works. It’s happened before…
