We previously learned it would be an:
“Upscale tavern serving European sausages, hotdogs, pretzels and popcorns featuring DJ and background music. No designated dance floor – no dancing. Summer Garden with 210 seats. Seating capacity is 60. Total occupancy load is 330.”
Now we have a name – Sauf Haus – coming this summer:
From a press release:
“Atlas Brew Works today announced that it will host the chamber ensemble All Points West at its Ivy City facility [2052 West Virginia Ave NE] on Saturday, February 15 from 1 – 6 PM.

Washington Post reports:
“Megan Parisi, the veteran brewer who was hired at Bluejacket with considerable fanfare in 2012, has parted ways with the brewery and restaurant less than three months after the operation opened near the Navy Yard. Her last day was Friday, Jan. 17.”
Ed. Note: Earlier this month we looked at a review of the Arsenal restaurant in the Bluejacket Brewery.

I totally forgot about this when I spotted the architectural plans for Mad Fox Brewing Company coming to the former Mayfair and Pine space. From the press release back in August:
“Mad Fox Brewing Company announced that it will expand to Washington, DC, with plans to open a 4,590 square foot taproom at 2218 Wisconsin Avenue, NW in Glover Park. Mad Fox Brewing Company Taproom (Mad Fox Taproom), a 127-seat neighborhood establishment, is slated to open by the end of first quarter 2014, depending on the renovations needed and the permitting process.”
You can read the full press release here. You can see Mad Fox’s beer menu here and food menus here.
Since demo hasn’t started yet, looks like it’ll likely open after the 1st quarter of 2014. Updates when they get closer.
