From a press release:

“Clubhouse (1070 Wisconsin Ave NW) will be mixing cocktails, serving fresh coffee and slinging pizza dough in the newly renovated space in Georgetown Park, formerly known as Church Hall. When given the opportunity to re-open, Clubhouse founders Geoff Dawson and Peter Bayne wanted to create an environment that’ll be a gathering spot for everyone in the Georgetown neighborhood.

Clubhouse will open in the mornings for the neighborhood to enjoy a coffee menu curated by Madison Peake, formerly of Tatte Bakery & Cafe Group. Peake has perfected a coffee and breakfast menu including a vanilla bean date latte, breakfast burritos, avocado toast and plenty of croissants to get everyone through their morning Zoom meetings.
