“Sad to see them go but it seemed pretty empty whenever I walked by”

While it was sad to learn of the Islander’s closure the replacement, Archipelago, looks freaking amazing especially if you want to be transported out of the District for a few hours. The details are just everywhere. And they are awesome. They’ll be soft opening this weekend and having a proper opening Tuesday and they’ll be open Tuesdays-Sundays from 5pm-close. You gotta check it out for yourself. This is another one of those wild transformations if you remember what the inside of the Islander looked like. Also, did I mention the shrine to Magnum PI…
Tons more photos and menus after the jump. (more…)

Also interesting to note their redacted sign from Chuck & Billy Club 2718 to Chuck & Bill 2718. Anyone know if the change is related to the violence of last year:

Back in October we noted that work had started at Wet Dog Tavern coming to Vermont Ave between American Ice Co. and Duffy’s. They’ve now stripped the paint – I wonder if they’ll go natural or with a new color? Updates as work progresses.
Thanks to Justin for uploading some shots to the PoPville flickr pool of the newly opened Columbia Room in action. Very very cool.
More shots after the jump. (more…)
I believe a whiskey or two might be sipped to celebrate on Saturday…

Ed. Note: It’s been a while since I shared a PoP proclamation so let me have a go – while I like both these beers very very much – the best beer I’ve had in a long long time comes from a local(ish) brewery called RAR brewing out of Cambridge, Maryland. Not a double IPA but the Nanticoke Nectar is especially awesome (I’ve seen it at Nanny O’Briens and a few grocery stores.) If you happen to see it – I highly recommend you take a taste. Ok back to our regularly scheduled post.
More Hopslam fun.
2427 18th Street, NW
From an email:
“Bell’s Hopslam and Troegs Nugget Nectar will vie for hop supremacy for the seventh year on the main floor of the Black Squirrel this Friday (Feb. 12), starting at 5 p.m.
Both highly coveted seasonal beers pack a wallop, with Hopslam reporting at 10 percent ABV and Nugget Nectar at 7.5 percent ABV.
You be the judge on which highly hopped ale reigns supreme. It’s your call. It’s all your pleasure.
As the knock-out punch, our chef will prepare IPA-infused Mac and Cheese, Citra-Hop-Seasoned Boardwalk Fries, and a Hop Daddy Burger topped with hop-infused cheddar sauce and hoppy mayonnaise. Hop-diggity-dog!
Hopslam vs Nugget Nectar Battle Royale
Friday, February 12th, starting at 5 p.m.”

We noted major progress at the Chinese Sushi Bar and Wine Bar but it didn’t seem real until the old Playbill awning finally came down.
