Billy reports:
“La Coop’s popup opened today in the Cheese Monster space on Kennedy St. My fiancee and I stopped by this morning, and it might be the best coffee I’ve had in DC. Juan, the proprietor, seems like a really lovely guy as well. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Someone posted this Redfin listing to a new condo noting that the “Lower Level Commercial Space will be a 2nd Location for a Boutique Coffee Shop from Georgetown”.
After some calling around, one of my neighbors was able to confirm that it will be Grace Street Coffee opening a second location.
I guess they are doing their coffee roasting there for the first few months and then opening up a store front ~6 months from now.”
STAY TUNED.

Wowza. I’ve been getting lots of inquiries about what’s going on at the old Kraken Axes (RIP Murry’s) space on Georgia. Well, holy cow. They should be soft opening as early as tomorrow or possibly this weekend with a grand opening coming later this month. Stay tuned for confirmation on that but in the meantime, lots of info from a press release:
“HOOK HALL, named in salute of a legendary pirate, this new venue is inspired by the same pull of the sea and sense of adventure buccaneers are known to embrace. Enhanced with design elements and accents reminiscent of the oceans on which he sailed, Hook Hall has reimagined an industrial 13,500 square-foot venue to offer a unique, multi-flex space in the burgeoning Park View/Petworth community. By day it serves as a neighborhood gathering place serving coffee and pastries and affording comfortable meeting and working space. By evening its 40-foot long bar, with a 32-tap system, turns into a tavern ready to serve as a local watering hole and celebration spot. (more…)
