Ack. I keep forgetting to post this. Thanks to all who’ve messaged us about Legacy HiFi coming to the former Tight Five Pub space. The coming soon sign says:

Beer, booze and burgers.

“Dear PoPville,

What is the deal with Alfresco in Adams Morgan? It’s been closed for months now and it makes me so sad to see such a gorgeous space so empty. Sometimes I’ll see people working around inside and have hope they’ll reopen soon but no luck. Anyone know?”

Mark it as scuttlebutt but it’s from a very solid source. I hear a sports bar is coming!!

Stay tuned for confirmation.
