When we learned the Sauf Haus Bier Hall + Garten was opening above the Dupont Shake Shack this summer I didn’t realize how big the garten part would be. Though we knew it would have a summer garden with 210 seats I had a tough time conceptualizing that space. But walking by it yesterday you can see how huge it’ll be – this has the potential to be very very awesome:
Great interviews with the Right Proper folks by Greg Hudson:
“Opened in late 2013, and located in the heart of the Shaw neighborhood, Right Proper Brewing Company has taken DC by storm, quickly becoming a go-to brewpub for great craft beer and delicious American food. Here, founder Thor Cheston and head brewer Nathan Zeender tell their story.”

Finally an opening date for the former Guitar Shop space located right about Dupont’s Shake Shack.
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:

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.
