Back in March we learned that HILO Poke and Sushi would be coming to the former Outrage/Violet Boutique space on 18th Street. Been a long build out, understandably, going from retail to restaurant. But they finally look ready to open their doors soon.

Southern Hospitality closed after 7 years here back in July. The space was previously home to Adams Mill Bar and Grill which closed back in 2011. But the big potential news comes from a recent ANC meeting (thanks to Gordon Chaffin for the heads up about it) – Ben Sislen – an Adams Morgan resident and one of the owners of the excellent The Crown & Crow in Logan Circle said that he is in the process of looking at bringing a sports bar with betting to the former Southern Hospitality space. And all I can say is STAY TUNED!!
