From a press release:
“Legacy HiFi, the 18th street corridor’s newest bar, will open tonight, November 27, with affordable cocktails, a concise but delicious menu and a welcoming vibe. Led by partners Tim Slayton (a former lead bartender at Marvin), Tyler Stoe (Legacy DC Art Gallery) and Mathew Ramsey (of Pornburger fame), Legacy HiFi brings the Legacy brand – blending art, music, media and streetwear – into its next iteration: hospitality. The dimly-lit, hip, artsy and unique space features old-school TVs, a vintage soda machine, street art, and an elevated area for live music performances and weekly DJs. (more…)

Here’s a very rough look of what’s to come (art by Tyler.) And yes there will be burgers (more…)
