Columbia Heights

ALERT, ALERT, ALERT – Action at the old Makan/Meridian Pint space in Columbia Heights!!


11th and Park Road, NW

Thanks to Max for sending Monday afternoon:

“Old Makan/Thirsty Crow Spot – Chairs Being Moved In. Just saw this as I was walking through the neighborhood. Wasn’t sure if there was something new going in? They were clearly bringing quite a few seats in to the space.”

OK, as I told my Patreon supporters in a PoPville plus + post – please join us there if you want to learn the earliest scoop on things – plus you’ll help ensure PoPville survives for another 10 years!! I digress, but seriously, join us if you are able. Anyway, I hear that a new beer bar/restaurant along the lines of what Meridian Pint did is coming to the space!! The deal wasn’t signed when I first heard about it so didn’t want to post about it here yet. But this is a good sign that maybe it is happening. STAY TUNED. And get the early, early word here. Cheers and fingers crossed on this one!!

ICYMI: Makan and Thirsty Crow closed here in 2025.

Meridian Pint closed here in 2019.
