Irish Whiskey becoming Tulips in Dupont

By Prince Of Petworth


1207 19th Street, NW. Some still recovering from Porter’s abrupt closure in 2010.

Elayne reports last night:

“Breaking DC Irish bar news. 🍀->🌷”

I’m guessing we’ll see a decent amount of f/rosé.

Irish Whiskey’s Facebook page says:

“We would like to thank all of our loyal patrons for five years of wonderful support. We have decided it is time to close our doors and change direction. Please stay tuned as we give the venue a face lift and concept change.”

Stay tuned.

Fire Damages Original Mandu on 18th Street “Closed for the foreseeable future as we recover and rebuild.”

By Prince Of Petworth


1805 18th Street, NW

Thanks to all who messaged us about the original Mandu.

Update from owner of Mandu:

“We closed early last night due to the holiday and the fire seemed to happen shortly after midnight or so. Still trying to figure out what happened but it was not kitchen/gas related, and it was contained to half of the first floor. The fire department out of precaution and protocol had to bust through the windows upstairs, which is why it seems like it was a two story fire but it was not.

Thankfully nobody was injured or hurt. The speed and execution of the DC Emergency Services (Fire, MPD, etc) was outstanding. Our focus now is to figure out a plan for our staff as we start to plan how to remodel and open as soon as possible.”
