“This showed up on the window at Swampoodle yesterday. Is this a joke? Seems like city departments and council staff are clearly not speaking to each other. This is so frustrating, especially because the owner said he is very close to opening.”

The Hilltopian wait continues…
“Dear PoPville,
Do any readers have updates on Swampoodle? The lights were on this morning and lots of equipment was spread out inside but I didn’t see anyone. The sidewalk has been like this for a while now. I know they were having problems with the gas / water hookups. Any progress? This sidewalk condition is a hazard.”
On Dec. 17th Swampoodle wrote on Facebook:
“So the water line will be put in place next week.
However, although the city passed our gas hookup ( in July) we were informed that the gas line had been abandoned. So we need a new gas line to the property. The Poodle has no luck.
We replaced my mothers rosewood table with a bowling alley floor table which actually looks pretty good.
I am very disappointed with the City so if you wish to call Bowser and ask her to get the city to help open this restaurant before I go bankrupt I would appreciate it.
Happy holiday to everyone,
Thanks for your support. m
and in reply to a comment:
“It was months. But I just had to go thru the process.
Then when my gas lines were all in we were approved and they put in the meter then two months later took it out
Then last month came to replace the meter with a residential meter. Then they told me they had closed the line. So f*cked again
Sorry for my language”

The overwhelming response was hell yes!!! From Swampoodle:
“THINKING OF HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY FROM 10 AM TO 1 PM. WOULD THAT BE OF ANY INTEREST TO ANYONE?”
Swampoodle is located at the corner of 14th and Colorado Ave, NW.
4610-4612 14th Street, NW
Could be interesting – I freaking love the name – a liquor license application for Upstate Tavern says:
“Full-service tavern serving cocktails, soup, craft beers, braised pork.
Sidewalk Café Seating 36 patrons. Total Occupancy Load of 85, with seating for 78. Entertainment Endorsement.”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
On the side of La Villa Pizzeria on 14th Street.
A reader reports:
“Yesterday afternoon around 5pm at 16th and Colorado NW. Not sure how it happened – DC plates!”
Ed. Note: I obviously hope there was no medical emergency and everyone is alright.
