1843 7th Street, NW
From a press release:
“Mockingbird Hill (1843 7th Street NW), the James Beard Award-nominated sherry and ham bar led by premier spirits expert Derek Brown, will close for the duration of the summer, beginning Sunday, June 26, to undergo remodeling.
Design and architecture firm Edit Lab at Streetsense, which recently rebuilt Brown’s Columbia Room to much acclaim, will re-envision Mockingbird Hill as a cocktail bar, continuing to offer sherry by the glass and hand-carved ham, but with a major expansion of its cocktail program.
“Sherry has always been our focus but we’ve seen the way our guests use the bar, and increasingly they want craft cocktails,” Brown says of the upcoming closure and remodel. “In fact, that’s always been part of how Americans drink sherry and a huge part of sherry’s past. So, we’re more than happy to oblige.”
Brown will bartend at Mockingbird Hill on Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25, and guests will enjoy a special featured menu throughout the bar’s last week of operation before the start of the remodel. (Brown is available for interviews by request.)
Mockingbird Hill, located in the heart of D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood, boasts one of the country’s top beverage programs, having just earned its first nomination from the James Beard Foundation Awards this spring. Last December, Mockingbird Hill launched a viral six-week holiday pop-up bar, “Miracle on 7th Street,” that featured more than a dozen original themed cocktails.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
