“On Tuesday, August 20th at 7:30PM, A&D will be pairing up with Rappahannock River Oysters for a night of oyster slangin’ and whiskey shootin’.

Travis and Bernie will be joining us with Shooter, the “Lebron James” of oyster shucking, who will be working the raw bar. Get your fix of Rappahanocks and Olde Salts, but supplies are limited so come early and get ’em while they’re hot…err cold!

If that doesn’t entice you enough, we will also be randomly choosing a few names from the RSVP list to receive some special prizes…who doesn’t love free stuff? And let’s be honest…what else do you possibly have to do on a Tuesday night?”

The Reef Hoping to Reopen in Adams Morgan Later this Week After Reaching Compromise with ABRA

Last week we noted The Reef had been ordered closed indefinitely after a stabbing involving an employee. Late last week they had an ABRA hearing and a reader tells me that they hope to reopen later this week. WJLA also reports:

But now, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board has a tentative deal with owner Brian Harrison, allowing The Reef to reopen. The bar would have to retrain its security personnel in controlling aggressive patrons, preventing alcohol consumption by minors, even preserving a crime scene.

According to the ABRA ruling:

“The Board approved the attached Offer in Compromise, 3-0 (Miller, Alberti, and Silverstein). The License remains Suspended until satisfactory compliance with additional security terms and conditions. Among other things, the Respondent must submit a Security Plan, install a camera security system and professionally train its security personnel. The next hearing is scheduled for August 22, 2013 at 3:00 pm.”

Following are the full details of the incident according to the ABRA public case file:

DETAILS:
The following investigation was initiated as the result of a telephone call to the ABRA Hotline received by Supervisory Investigator Craig Stewart, at 2:15 am., on Saturday, August 10, 2013, from MPD Sergeant Joseph Perren, who stated that a patron of The Reef had been stabbed. As a result, a MPD PD-251 report (CCN #13112842) (Exhibit #1) Was created and retrieved by Investigator Jones on August 10, 2013, from MPD 3rd District Station, dated August 10, 2013. The PD-251 states the following; (more…)

Well this could be awesome. EaterDC reports:

“D.C. Broker Bill Miller says they’ve toured several locations in D.C. proper, but there’s no lease signed yet. They’re looking at places between 8,000 and 12,000 square feet in size, and considering spots that stretch over two levels.”

B.B. King’s Blues Club website says:

There is nothing better than a full stomach to enjoy great music. Our menu offers a variety of great cuisine fused with that southern comfort touch. Steaks, fresh seafood, mouth watering bar-b-q, pasta and plenty of appetizers all come together to create the perfect combination of delicious food, energetic music, cold drinks and a great time all packed into one building. B.B. King’s Blues Club, “Its Good For Your Soul.”

DRINK
Eclectic pieces of folk art portraying musical icons adorn the backdrop, the aroma of spicy gumbo and dry rubbed ribs float through the air to set the tone, boisterous musical notes drifting from the stage define the atmosphere, the dance floor satiated with elated guests dancing their blues away help to create the mood. This is B.B. King’s Blues Club Experience It Today & “Let The Good Times Roll.”

Back in Dec. 2012 we learned Eno Wine Bar was opening up next to the Four Season’s Hotel at 2810 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. A press release updates us with a planned September opening:

Earlier in the week we learned The Reef had been closed at 2446 18th Street, NW in Adams Morgan due to a weekend stabbing. At that time a reader heard they would reopen Wednesday. A couple of readers send updates with word of an extended “indefinite” closure. Some rumors have started circulating that an employee may have been involved in the incident. Updates as more info becomes available.

Back in April we learned that the Blue Banana had closed at 3632 Georgia Avenue, NW by DC Reynolds and Looking Glass Lounge just south of the Petworth metro. More scuttlebutt has come on in on the new management team. I hear the new team comes from the folks behind the Mason Inn in Glover Park, the Capitale nightclub on K Street and the George club in Georgetown. This scuttlebutt comes from two different sources who are both very confident in what they heard. One also hears that the new space will be called the Petworth Patio. Stay tuned.

New Bar, Ivy and Coney, Coming to 7th Street in Shaw

From a press release:

“Opening in Fall 2013, Ivy and Coney will be a small, neighborhood bar located at 1537 7th St NW in the Shaw neighborhood in Washington, D.C. It brings the atmosphere of a Chicago corner bar with Detroit prices and Midwestern hospitality to our ever-diverse capital. The spot comes from Kangaroo Boxing Club owners Josh Saltzman and Chris Powers (originally from Chicago and Detroit), bartender Adam Fry (Chicago) and native Washingtonian, Jamie Hess.

Ivy and Coney is built on a foundation of simplicity: sometimes a good hot dog, a cold beer, and a game on is all you’re looking for in your night. The menu includes Chicago-style and Detroit Coney-style hot dogs, Chicago Italian beefs, peanuts, and cracker jacks. The beers will include Strohs, Old Style, Goose Island 312, and Bell’s Two Hearted along with a quality selection of spirits and sodas. All of these can be enjoyed while sports (with an emphasis on Chicago, Detroit, and D.C. teams) play across several TVs throughout the bar.

Additionally, we will be bringing a new concept to the D.C. area for those who want a wider selection of spirits by offering reserved liquor lockers. Our customers will have the opportunity to purchase a broad collection of different labels at a highly discounted service rate, store their choices on site, and have our staff serve up their favorite drinks.

Founded on the “corner tavern” mentality and built with a passion for good value, we aim to make Ivy and Coney a great edition to the DC community.

If you’d like to be a part of opening of Ivy and Coney check out our Indiegogo Page to be a part of the project.”

Ed. Note: Ivy and Coney will be located near the new Dacha beer garden coming to 7th and Q St, NW.
