I totally forgot about these plans!
A new liquor license placard says:
“Total Occupancy Load of 99 with seating for 60 patrons. Summer Garden with a seating capacity of 14. The licensee also has an Entertainment Endorsement with Dancing and Cover Charge to provide live entertainment indoors only.”
This is the former Kitty’s Saloon space that closed back in September. STAY TUNED.

Hang on to your hats but we’re officially 12 years old!! Thank You for making that insanity a reality. Truly. As when I turned 12 years old, let’s lift a few to celebrate!! (I’m just kidding, mom.) I’ll be at Solly’s (upstairs) starting around 6pm and I’ll be there until 10:30/11 depending on how hard I hit the Powers. But seriously, I do want to thank everyone for making my dream a reality. I do not take it for granted. So let’s prost!! Hopefully see a few of you tomorrow night.

Whoa, spotted this sign at Stanton & Greene over the weekend. A couple of weeks ago Washington Business Journal reported:
“Stanton & Greene, the Capitol Hill cocktail bar that replaced the Pour House in 2015, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.”
Their phone number has been disconnected and their Facebook stops updating after October 25th, though their website remains live. Stay tuned.

From ABRA:
“Autumn Daylight Saving Time will cause the clock to fall back one hour from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. on the morning of Sunday, November 4. This will result in an extra hour, making Sunday a 25-hour day. Any licensee that normally ends alcohol service at 2 a.m. will automatically gain an additional hour to conduct business.”

Thanks to Elizabeth for sending:
Being in the nation’s capital, we can’t help but nerd out over politics, the sciences, and cultural phenomena. Book-ish is our series of fusion seminar/wine tasting classes that are centered around a niche subject and how it relates to the wine in your glass. Trust us – you’ve never been to a wine class like this before. Taste wine, enjoy nibbles, and target=”_blank”>learn something new!”

UPDATE from Bourbon’s Facebook:
Some news:
After 12 years in one of the city’s great neighborhoods, Adams Morgan, Bourbon has decided to close our doors.
The goal was to be a relaxed, easy-going bar, with great music and an even greater staff, to be the neighborhood bar, a whiskey lover’s home at a time when whiskey wasn’t yet the trend. We succeeded.
Instead of reinventing the business entirely, I think it’s best that we re-evaluate exactly what we’re offering to our community and how. I am eager to explore other opportunities within this city. I am grateful for the time and relationships this venture has graced my life with. I credit every single individual that assisted in our success for many years; specifically, our staff and Bill Thomas’s staff in the years before me.
All the priceless memories and impactful moments this little watering hole could pour, we certainly drank. Thank you all.
— James P. Woods, owner”
