I remember when a time when nobody knew how to pronounce ANXO.
From a press release:
“The team behind ANXO Cidery & Pintxos Bar in Truxton Circle and the recently opened ANXO Cidery & Tasting Room in Brightwood Park makes its summer home on Barracks Row for an exciting pop-up: Porrón by ANXO! This concept is dedicated to our favorite way of drinking cider: from height, in abundance, and outdoors.
The 70-person space, designed by local DC artists No Kings Collective, emulates a summer day indoors with turf flooring and bright blue skies covering the ceiling and walls. Guests can enjoy porrónes of ciders or cocktails along the 18- seat bar, or on lawn and patio seating provided by No Kings.
THE DRINKS – Porrónes are not new to ANXO, as they are available during brunch at the Truxton Circle restaurant and all day long at the Brightwood Park Cidery. Porrónes will be filled with shandy-style concoctions such as the Clara (Mahou Cinco Estrellas, San Pellegrino Limonata), Rosé-Colored Glasses (Snowdrift Red, AXTA Blanco Vermouth, Blood Orange Bitters), or the Hill of Strangers (ANXO Sidra Natural, Green Hat Spring & Summer Gin, Grenadine). Guests will also enjoy house ciders including Transcontinental, the newest ANXO collaboration made with Snowdrift Cider Co. in Washington State. A Selection of Beer and Wine will also be available
THE FOOD – Grilling rules at Porrón. Throughout the duration of the pop up, Executive Chef Alex Vallcorba will offer wood-fired grilled meats and vegetables prepared in Basque and Catalan traditions on Fridays and Saturdays. A series of grill-centric pop-ups by local chefs and upcoming restaurants will begin later this summer. Always available will be the Kennedy Street Cidery food menu featuring meats, cheeses, salads and paninos.
OPENING WEEKEND – To kick off Porrón by ANXO’s opening weekend, guests are invited to a Sneak Peek of the space on June 30th or July 1st. This ticketed event includes a wood-fire grilled feast of ribeye, sardines, green onions, pan con tomate, and unlimited porrónes. Each ticket is $65 and includes tax and gratuity. Tickets can be found at anxodc.com/porron. This event is 21+.”

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!
