Sad news, for many, about Pharmacy Bar:

From the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration:
“WHO/WHAT: The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (Board) will hold a hearing on Wednesday, May 7 to receive public input on two proposals regarding the Adams Morgan Moratorium Zone, which restricts alcoholic beverage licensing in the neighborhood. Proposals include:
Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1C’s petition to renew the existing Adams Morgan Moratorium Zone for a five-year period with certain modifications [ed. note: would allow for new restaurant licenses]; and
Kalorama Citizens Association’s petition to renew the existing Adams Morgan Moratorium Zone for a five-year period with no changes to current restrictions.
WHEN: 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, May 7
WHERE: Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration Hearing Room
2000 14th St., NW, Suite 400 South, 4th Floor
BACKGROUND: The Adams Morgan Moratorium Zone extends approximately 1,400 feet in all directions from the intersection of 18th St. and Belmont Road, NW. The following alcoholic beverage license restrictions apply in the zone:
No new licenses for restaurants, nightclubs, taverns and multipurpose facilities.
No more than 10 licenses for taverns and multipurpose facilities.
A licensed restaurant is prohibited from changing its license class unless there are fewer than 10 tavern and multipurpose facility licenses issued in the zone.
A license holder outside the zone is not permitted to transfer its license to a location within the zone unless it is an off-premise retailer or hotel.
The Board extended the existing moratorium to July 12 to allow time to evaluate both proposals.”
Gonna be an epic Sundress Fest this year. Activities all day and judging (of which I’m one) of the participants begins at 5pm:
“As we celebrate our first decade in the neighborhood, Wonderland invites D.C. to come out Sunday, May 4, to support a local charity by putting on a sundress and celebrating life. We’ll have an all-day happy hour for ANYONE in a sundress. We’ll have a pig roast (and veggie options!) in our Bohemian Beer Garden. And we’ll have our annual Champagne of Beers toast to the Wonderland mascot, the White Rabbit. You can bring your own sundress, or get one at Wonderland. We’ll have racks of sundresses, and everyone can find one that fits. It’s all for charity, so c’mon, show a little leg.”
Wonderland is located at 11th and Kenyon St, NW.

We suspected Lyman’s Tavern was going to be ridiculously awesome – it is. The details are just phenomenal. They have their C of O and just need to finish up a few more inspections so hopefully they’ll be open before the end of the month. Have a look inside:
Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)

Back in early March we learned Mum Mum had closed and would become Rebellion Tavern at 1836 18th Street, NW across the street from Lauriol Plaza, Bar Charley and the coming soon Saloon 45. They’re opening in May and they’ve posted their menus on their website. Menu sound good?
Updates when an exact opening date is known.

More restaurant/bar news for 18th Street just south of Adams Morgan. A recent liquor license placard posted at Sandy’s Flowers says the space will become Saloon 45:
“Will provide a small menu approximately 5 to 7 items of mostly fried foods along with over 50 specialty craft beers chosen mostly from local brewers. We have a small selection of wines and cocktails. Drinks and food will be provided in a quiet relaxing environment either inside at a table or outside in our summer garden. Summer Garden Seats #36, Total Occupancy Load #85.”
Hours are listed as Sunday through Thursday: 8am-2am, Friday and Saturday: 8am-3am.
CityPaper reports that the owner is a professional poker player who took 45th place in last year’s World Series of Poker.
Updates as they get closer to opening.
