For those who have been curious, my sources are telling me that Royal Blue (on 14th Street a few stores north of Starbucks) is in build out and will be open in October.

Additionally on the Columbia Heights restaurant scene I hear that Commonwealth (on Irving just west of 14th Street), the Gastropub by Jamie Leeds (founder of Hank’s Oyster Bar in Dupont Circle area), is opening in early/mid August.

I can’t wait for Commonwealth to open! The indoor is supposed to look super cool and there will also be a nice outdoor section as well.
