5405 Georgia Avenue, NW looking south towards Macombo Lounge at Jefferson Street
Back in December we shared some mouth watering Scuttlebutt that the folks from Bloomingdale’s Showtime Bar, across the street from Boundary Stone on Rhode Island Ave., had plans to open up a second spot in Brightwood Park on Georgia Ave (photo above.) [Showtime opened in Bloomingdale back in 2013 and is perennially placed on all the ‘best of’ lists around town.] A week ago I reported that Neptune Room was coming to 5405 Georgia Avenue, NW and because the liquor license placard listed the prolific Andrew Kline as attorney, I suspected this might be the rumored Showtime spot. And now a local food blog confirms it is indeed the Showtime folks: “Team Showtime confirmed”.

1. I’ll let my haters keep talking about the one time I heard Dan’s Cafe was closing, back in 2015, in every single story they post about me. 2. Sah-WEET!! 3. Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge and Neptune Room gets closer to opening. 4. Did I mention Old Navy was coming to Columbia Heights? And Wawa? RIP Pete’s. 5. Love and respect to Dan’s Cafe. Always.
Dan’s Cafe alive and well(ish) at 2315 18th Street, NW
