3407 Connecticut Ave, NW (RIP Wake Up Little Suzie. And Pulpo, Tackle Box and McDonald’s…)

More sad news from Fat Pete’s Pizza & BBQ:

“This week is our last one, and before we close the doors, we’d love to see you one more time. ❤️

If Fat Pete’s has ever been your neighborhood spot, your go-to bar, your place for a celebration, or simply somewhere you shared a good night with good people, come back and raise one last glass with us. 🍻

We’ll see you Saturday, August 29 for our final weekend & farewell celebration.

Come by, bring a friend, share a story, and help us make these last few days unforgettable.

See you at the bar. ❤️🍻”

Ed. Note: I’m assuming this means Cleveland Park Bar and Grill will be closing upstairs as well but will update as I learn more.

The official good word:

“Highlands Tavern will officially open its doors to the public before the end of August, bringing a fresh, high-energy neighborhood dining experience to the heart of Cleveland Park. Taking over the historic multi-level location previously occupied by the Cleveland Park Bar & Grill at 3421 Connecticut Ave NW, the venue has been completely reimagined to merge classic tavern warmth with modern styling.

In addition to elevating the neighborhood’s dining scene, Highlands Tavern is thrilled to announce it will serve as the official watch party location for Notre Dame Football. Fans can gather on the expansive rooftop or throughout the multi-level tavern to cheer on the Fighting Irish with full sound, dedicated game-day energy, and premium viewing.

Highlands Tavern is helmed by co-owners Ki Yoon (Owner of Magruders) and George Grau, a D.C. native, Culinary Institute of America (CIA) graduate, and seasoned restaurant veteran. (more…)
