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…)

2471 18th Street, NW most recently home to Tight Five Pub and before them Smoke and Barrel and, of course, the long time home of Asylum before that

Yo!! Oh my goodness. I was lucky enough to catch one of Hi Fi‘s owners, Tyler (super cool guy, totally unpretentious, very very promising for this joint), on my Saturday walkabout and he invited me in for a little tour and chat. All I can say is that the Gods are kind once again because this place sounds absolutely awesome. If all goes well they should be soft opening on Wednesday (will update if any of that changes.) Here’s a very rough look of what’s to come (art by Tyler.) And yes there will be burgers (more…)
