20th and Pennsylvania Ave, NW
11am Thursday, May 30th!
And the conversion from Kinkead’s to Duke’s Grocery is complete. Check out their menus here.
Sneak a peek inside and see the full press release:
“The popular local gastropub Duke’s Grocery will open its newest and largest location tomorrow at 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Foggy Bottom. Fans of the two current Duke’s locations will recognize the robust menu, active bar scene, creative sandwiches and sunny patio. Also featured will be the beloved Proper Burger, consistently rated the District’s Best Burger.
The new venture welcomes the return of Chef Rick Koplau, who was on Team Duke’s in 2014-2015. The expansive kitchen provides space and flexibility for additions like Duck Wings, Blossom Bowl, Mumbai Masala Toast, Octopus Romesco, Potted Trotters and Ebi Sando. Duke’s standbys will include the white truffle mac & cheese, big sarnies, hearty curries, and rotating specials such as Sunday Roast, lamb shanks and salt beef. Brunch, breakfast and a carry out window all begin later this summer.
On the beverage side, the 12 draught beer lines feature a fun mix of local craft and UK imports, and the expanded cocktail program includes over 20 options. In keeping with the other Duke’s locations, Happy Hour runs from 12:00-7:00pm during the week. Chef Koplau is also adding a Mushroom Matcha Latte amongst other creative non-alcoholic beverages.
Duke’s Grocery in Foggy Bottom makes its home in brick row houses originally built for Boss Shepherd in the 1870’s, and housed Kinkead’s for 23 years. The interior features exposed brick, a copper-top bar, British-themed adornments and a huge wall-sized mural by local artist Alia Akthar in a comfortable, upbeat setting similar to the existing Duke’s locations.
The original Duke’s Grocery in Dupont Circle opened in 2013, and Duke’s Counter across from the National Zoo opened in 2016.”

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!
