Now you can see all the info about CARLA:

“One of the country’s most acclaimed drinking destinations is soon bringing a new neighborhood bar to the intersection of Washington, DC’s Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle neighborhoods. Long-time Adams Morgan residents and hospitality partners Bill Thomas and John Roberts are preparing to open CARLA, a globally-inspired multi-floor place where guests can gather, connect and linger from early evening into late night, opening at 2001 18th Street, NW.

For more than 25 years, Bill Thomas has helped define Adams Morgan’s nightlife. From opening The Blue Room in the neighborhood in the late 1990s, to pioneering one of Washington’s earliest whiskey destinations with Bourbon, to earning international acclaim with Jack Rose Dining Saloon, now home to one of the world’s largest whisk(e)y collections and recognized among the globe’s premier spirits destinations, Thomas has spent his career creating places people return to again and again.

Now, together with longtime business partner John Roberts, Thomas is expanding on his historical neighborhood legacy. CARLA will be a neighborhood bar inspired by Adams Morgan’s international and rich nightlife history, and the simple idea that great hospitality brings people together. Created as both a home away from home and a nightlife destination, CARLA is designed for guests to settle in, stay awhile, and gather over classic cocktails, shareable food, genuine hospitality, and an ever-evolving soundtrack, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy house DJs, live bands and more.
