3345 14th Street, NW

Thanks to Analya for sending the great news about Fraiche at Tívoli: “I was happy to notice a new restaurant coming to the old Creole space on 14th street.”

Fraiche’s website says:

“Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater. Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind! (more…)

Lou’s City Bar has been closed for a few weeks for a “winter refresh” in Columbia Heights. Hopefully only temporary and not “temporary”…

By Prince Of Petworth

Published January 30, 2025 at 10:30AM

1400 Irving Street, NW opened here back in 2011.

“Dear PoPville,

Do you have any updates on Lou’s in Columbia Heights??

It was completely closed on Saturday afternoon, right before the NFL games were about to start.

I’ve heard from other friends they’ve been closed a lot recently (or perhaps closed permanently?)

It’s one of my favorite bars in the area so hoping it’s only temporary.”
