The Pinch Opens in Columbia Heights this Friday at 5pm

Back in Dec. 2011 we learned that The Pinch was going to replace the former El Salvadorena space located at 3548 14th St, NW. I’m happy to report they’ll be opening this Friday.

The owner writes:

This restaurant, bar, and live music venue will feature specialty cocktails, contemporary twists on classic American fare and live music in a comfortable, neighborhood bar setting. The newly refurbished space will feature works by local artists and houses a broad selection of tap, bottled, and canned beer.

Our Grand Opening will be Friday May 4th @ 5PM and we will be open 7 nights a week (opening @ 5PM every evening). Look for us to add weekend brunch soon.

Beer info:
We will have 6 taps, and 30 or more bottles/cans. The list will be mostly American craft brews and will shift and change throughout the year. Our opening list will include- Omegang Hennepin, Flying Dog Raging Bitch, Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, just to name few…

The menu will be contemporary American fare (some highlights):

Appetizers– Pretzel Crusted Fried Pickles, Assorted sliders (Hoisan BBQ Duck, Caprese, Crab cake, Steak),
Burgers– my 2 favorites are the Jerk Turkey, and the Meat Lovers (topped with pulled duck, bacon, cheddar, and fried onions). Vegetarians- Will find a number of items on our menu, my favorite being the Portabello “burger”, a cap with spinach, sun dried tomato, garlic, sauteed onion, mozzarella.
Sandwiches– Walnut Crusted Talapia, and a Flank Steak Sandwich served with Chef Steph’s house made steak sauce

Initially we will be opening with just our main floor bar and dining area. We intend to open the performance lounge in the next couple of weeks.

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!
