Back in June a reader updated us on the massive construction going on at 1737 Connecticut Ave, NW in Dupont Circle. This building was formerly home to Anna Maria’s Italian Restaurant which closed back in June ’09.
A recent liquor license application posted shares some details about the new tavern, to be called Board Room, going into the retail space:
“New Tavern. Vintage game room with jukebox. Occupancy load is 251, seating is 90.”
I’ll admit it – I’m intrigued by the vintage game room. Any guesses/suggestions on what games they’ll have?
I know I need to get over it but I’m still gonna miss the great Anna Maria’s signs…
