“Cinder BBQ, Johnny’s All American and Mt. Pleasant Club team up to drop the first collaborative DC rye whiskey.”

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“On December 6th at 5pm bottles of this special single barrel will be available at Cinder (800 Upshur St, NW) and Johnny’s (3226 11th St, NW).

Thanks to Adam and everyone else who wrote on Friday/over the weekend:

“Alfresco Tap and Grill seems to have closed (temporarily?) already. Really nice staff but the menu and food were a mess. So odd that they spent so much money building it out and so little thought on what it would be.”

“I would assume this is really temporary given the years and dollars they spent building this place out from parking lot.”

“Alfresco Tap and Grill has a handwritten sign on the door saying “temporarily closed” as does their website”

Update from their IG:
