2446 18th Street, NW Roofers Union opened back in February 2014 before them this space was the longtime home to the legendary Reef

From Roofers Union:

“It is with great sorrow that we announce the upcoming closure of Roofers Union on November 19th.

When we started this project more than ten years ago, we set out to create a neighborhood destination with craft food and drink. We are proud of all the amazing moments we’ve been a part of, from celebratory nights out and brunches to beer dinners and weddings. (more…)


I still can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 17 years!?! Time flies as they say. Alas, kinda like during the heat of the pandemic, it doesn’t feel like a super celebratory time – but that’s the nice thing about beer – you can have one in good times and in bad/sad. As I said last time – I do want to thank you for sticking around for so many years!

Please do keep your tips, emails, photos etc. coming! [[email protected] or @PoPville on social media.]  I couldn’t do this without you guys. And if you are in place to contribute to our long term survival please consider joining our Patreon. Whether you are able to give $2 or $20 a month it all helps. And you’ll get a bonus PoPville Plus + post every Wednesday. Got some good scuttlebutt for you in today’s plus +.

Another good way to help out is to sign up for our free daily newsletter so you never miss a post. If you want to pick up a shirt or other merch you can do so here.

So nothing too crazy this year, just heading back to a spot close to my heart before they close this location – so maybe see a few of you at Looking Glass Lounge tomorrow night (3634 Georgia Ave, NW I’ll be there around 6-10pm.) Cheers!
