Thanks to Craig and Daniel for sending:
“The broccoli bar has ampersand pizza signage up as of this evening”
On Tuesday we learned:
“Establishment is a fast, casual pizzeria tavern with a Total Occupancy Load of 106 and seating for 83.”
I still don’t get the name but hell, it’s memorable. Updates as they get closer to opening in the former Uprising Muffin space outside the Shaw metro.
Tyler Hatch tweets us:
“You can delete a tweet @ShawsTavern but you can’t delete the receipts. Extremely insensitive promo offered by #ShawsTavern today”
Ed. Note: In June 2017 Shaw’s Tavern had massive lines for the equally anticipated Comey Congressional hearing. Puts today’s initial decision, if flawed, in a bit of perspective.

Co-owners and former roommates Vinnie Rotondaro and Rory Adair are bringing a laidback, eclectically cozy vibe to the newly renovated space, which was originally built in 1890 and actually was a living room in a past life. The new iteration replicates that vintage hominess with a candle-filled fireplace, dim lighting, a record player, bookshelves near a bay window and more come-and-sit-awhile touches. (more…)

From Duffy’s:

From a press release:
“The day has (almost) arrived! This November, Todd Thrasher, the lauded wine and spirits devotee and multi-year James Beard Award nominee, will open his highly anticipated Potomac Distilling Company and the Polynesian-style neighborhood tavern, Tiki TNT. Thrasher can’t wait for the opening day, so he’s taking over Archipelago [September 17, September 24, and October 1, 2018] and slinging 5 Tiki cocktails per night – letting the public decide the fate of each cocktail.
For the three consecutive Mondays, from 6PM until midnight, Todd Thrasher will be mixing up the finest, island-inspired Tiki cocktails to soon be featured at DC’s first urban rum haven on the riverfront. Guests will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite cocktails and provide input to Thrasher as he finalizes Tiki TNT’s menu for its opening in November. (more…)

Caroline asks: “Does anyone know why tulips closed?”
Hmm, their Facebook is down but website is still up. Anyone hear anything. Tulips only opened here back in December. Previously this space was home to Porter’s and Irish Whiskey. Updates when more is known and/or we learn who takes over the space.
From an email:
“Bar Roubaix, a European street food and cycling-centric neighborhood bar is set to kick off Oktoberfest a week early on Thursday, September 13 at 5 pm with free samples off their new menu including schnitzel, brats, döner kebab and more. The bar, with its newly constructed greenery enclosed patio biergarten will also offer ALL draft beers at $4 from open to close starting this Thursday until October 7. (more…)

The liquor license placard for The Mirror (to be in the lower level) says:
“A new speakeasy Tavern. Seating Capacity of 50 inside. Total Occupancy Load of 100. The License will include an Entertainment Endorsement for the inside of the premises only.”
Take Two for a speakeasy at this location. The upstairs used to be Vieux Carre updates when we learn what becomes of that space too.

Let’s start off with the good news. While emails were not returned directly, it appears the reader report of Bourbon closing in September is FALSE. Yesterday Bourbon replied to some tweets from Barred in DC after rumors persisted of an upcoming closure: “Hi guys, we’re NOT closing, and haven’t storied anything this week. Rumors of our death (by POP) have been greatly exaggerated. But come by for $8 Bulleit juleps or Old-fashioneds.” A sigh of relief could be heard from Florida Ave to Columbia Road.

Sadly, rumors of other closures persist in Adams Morgan. A reader hears that “Metro K Supermarket on Columbia and Belmont will close at the end of November.” I went into the store on Saturday and an employee said they also heard the store would be closing in November but couldn’t confirm 100%. STAY TUNED on that and all fronts.
