DC Brau’s Brandon Skall collects a donation from an elderly participant

From an email:

“The neighborhood pub (116 Rhode Island Ave, NW) will host St. Baldrick’s Day on Sunday, March 13. DC Brau’s Brandon Skall will MC the head-shaving event, which raises funds for St. Baldrick’s foundation – an organization dedicated to pediatric cancer research. If you’re not familiar with the annual tradition, Boundary Stone hosts individuals and teams from local breweries and restaurants who volunteer for head (and beard!) shaves during the auction-style event. The Barbers of Hell’s Bottom will once again be volunteering their time to administer the head shaves. There will be a Charity Beer Garden on the patio, where 100% of beer sales will be donated to St. Baldrick’s. Plus, all sales of any Tito’s drink in the pub will go to the organization. Boundary Stone has raised more than $500k for the nonprofit since 2014.

Then on March 17, Executive Chef David Bacot will have three St. Patrick’s Day specials on the menu for the holiday: (more…)


From an email:

“Hi-Lawn, the expansive rooftop bar above Union Market, is collaborating with beloved (and now shuttered) Fado Irish Pub on one of DC’s largest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, from March 2-19. Fadó’s DC and Annapolis, MD locations sadly shuttered in 2020 and 2021, when the pandemic prevented a proper farewell, so Hi-Lawn is giving them the ultimate Irish Goodbye, with two weeks of festivities, including Irish dancers, bagpipers, live music, Irish food and drink specials, rugby viewing & more.

“Dear PoPville,

I’m looking for a bar or restaurant in DC proper where I can host an event (about 20-30 people) in the next few weeks. Ideally, this place would have covered outdoor space but we are open to other options and willing to be flexible. The main thing is that we do not want to be charged a rental fee for the use of the space or have a bar minimum. Understandably, I may be hunting for a unicorn but figured it was worth asking the community in the event they knew of a business that we could support and that would love to host us.”
