From an email:

“Henry’s Upstairs, the very same space where Roberta Flack got her start many moons ago, will be open to the public Mondays and Fridays at 5:00pm starting Friday 11/7/14.

Henry’s Upstairs will offer a distinctly different menu featuring New American Creations and light fare on Friday nights, while our famous 1/2 priced burgers will continue to be offered on Monday nights along with the regular menu. A late night happy hour will be added in the near future and we hope to round out the rest of the week as needs dictate. Live entertainment will return to the space on a nightly basis and it will also be available for private functions.”

And the wild story continues – Washington Business Journal reports:

“One of the former owners of Hawk ‘n’ Dove and other D.C. restaurants is accusing the new owners of fraud, conspiracy and racketeering and is seeking almost $9 million in damages, according to a lawsuit he filed last week.”

All the details here.

The liquor license placard says:

“New full service restaurant serving American cuisine. Occasional live entertainment consisting of a Band or DJ and Dancing. Summer Garden with seating for 40 patrons.”

Back in May we learned:

“Full of Southern character and casual appeal, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery is a downhome, Southern eatery that will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring seasonal choices. With savory comfort fare, signature desserts, and superior and sustainable coffees from around the world, its operating style and ambiance will fully complement the high-quality, family-friendly and vibrant offerings that the community values at Hill Center.”

Updates as they get closer to opening.
