By Prince Of Petworth


2427 18th Street, NW

From a press release:

“A year ago, plus a few months, a friend asked me if I would be interested in purchasing one of our favorite Adams Morgan watering holes, The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan. As a longtime patron and diehard fan of craft beer, I couldn’t resist. Now, as the neighborhood has changed, we feel it is time for us to make a change as well. On July 31st The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan will open its doors for the last time as preparation begins to remodel the space and release a new concept to the Adams Morgan Neighborhood, Seasons & Sessions, in early September. Seasons & Sessions builds on the legacy The Black Squirrel established in D.C., while upgrading our dining areas and kitchen, Seasons, and expanding our nightly entertainment Sessions.

For over a decade, The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan has been a mainstay of craft beer; one of the first of its kind in the whole city and still the record holder for most tap lines in D.C. (more…)

From an email:

“In light of last week’s news about Justice Kennedy’s retirement from the Supreme Court, it is more urgent than ever that we all work together to support Democratic candidates in the upcoming Midterm Elections. To meet this goal, we are inviting you to our first Midterm Postcard Writing Party, organized by a small, concerned group of neighborhood friends, and graciously hosted by the Midlands Beer Garden, on Tuesday, July 3rd at 6pm. We know folks are looking for ways to get involved, and this is a great, low-commitment way of doing so. Did I mention there is BOGO free beer until 7pm? (more…)

Crown and Crow Opening 6pm Saturday Night in Logan Circle – Have a Look Inside – It is freaking beautiful!

By Prince Of Petworth


1317 14th Street, NW

Back in July 2017 we posted some scuttlebutt “Cheers Bro!” Owner of the Reef (RIP) Opening Basement Bar in Logan Circle? In September we confirmed and learned the bar would be called The Crown and Crow. OH MY GOD. It turned out sick. Sick, sick, sick. Ed. Note: Sick meaning drop dead gorgeous. SICK! With a bar like this it comes down to photos, the photos tell it all. But what I can say is that – you’d never guess this lives downstairs from the recently opened Pappe restaurant. It’s kinda like the exact opposite of and subterranean spot up the block – Player’s Club. They are both spectacular spaces but for exact opposite reasons. The photos really don’t do it justice but will explain a bit.

Actually what the photos don’t totally explain is that there are two spaces. The first is the one you walk into with the sweet mural of the crow and crown. There is a beautiful old bar that was saved from Philly or Pittsburgh one of those loathsome Pennsylvania cities with the repulsive sports teams. Anyway, truly a beautiful bar that was in terrible condition but restored to this beautiful state:

A million more jaw dropping photos after the jump. (more…)

“I swear dating apps have ruined the bar scene.” Any Good Ones Left?

“Dear PoPville,

My single friends and I have been on the hunt for a bar where there’s the possibility of meeting someone for a while now, and have been failing miserably. I blame the apps (which I’m on) but I miss the bar scene pre-apps! From being on dating apps, I know there are supposedly plenty of single people in this city in my age range (early 30’s) hoping to meet someone, but do they not go out except for when they set up dates?! From our experience, the bars are essentially filled with couples/people on dates or groups of friends who are not looking to talk to anyone except who they came with. Are we just not going to the right places? Do any bars have a singles night? (If not, and any of them are reading this… can they start?) Any recs would be greatly appreciated!”
