1700 K Street, NW

From a press release:

“Partners Nasr El Hage, Nellie Elana Gebrail, and Dany Abi-Najm are pleased to announce the spring 2025 opening of Barbouzard. Inspired by the glamor of the Mediterranean seascape and Cote D’Azur, the new dining destination will blend sophisticated tastes with an alluring day-to-night ambiance.

Located in the heart of Downtown D.C. at 1700 K St NW, Barbouzard will emerge following an ambitious floor-to-ceiling renovation of the former Kellari Taverna space. (more…)



3426 Connecticut Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Uptown Theater‘s large red outdoor title lights are ON this morning….perhaps a sign? Lots of us hope the $2.2 billion renovation plans announced recently by AMC & other movie chains will include the Uptown…..”

Other rumors are that Artechouse may be coming to/interested in the space…

Last we heard about plans back in 2023 was: Owners have “entered into a letter of intent with an “arts/theater group”…

A return to the glory days perhaps? (more…)
