As of Sunday morning I’m told they’ll be closed for “a few weeks” but I’ll be updating as the situation becomes more clear. Official word from MGM Roast Beef:
“MGM Roast Beef experienced a fire last evening. Because of the quick response and efforts of the brave men and women of the dc fire department the fire was well maintained. We hope to re-open in a few short weeks.
Thank you, DC’s bravest.
Thank you for all the calls and support from our NortheastDC community.
We are beyond grateful.”
On Saturday night at 10:14pm DCFD reported:
“Working Fire 1900 block Brentwood Rd NE. Fire in a commercial building.”
Then at 10:41pm they reported:
“Update Working Fire 1905 Brentwood Rd NE. Fire 2 story restaurant MGM Roast Beef. #DCsBravest have fire under control with no injuries. Investigators on scene to determine cause.”
Stay tuned.
Ed. Note: MGM Roast Beef just celebrated turning 10 years old.

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!
