Thanks to Zach for Daniel sending the news about G&G: “Noticed this sign on the windows at dormant Shopkeepers storefront.”
They are hoping to have their grand opening the last week of November.
Will update when a get a confirmed date!

On October 9th we we shared the super sad scuttlebutt (clearly labeled scuttlebutt, though this came from three super solid sources) that Granville Moore’s was said to be closing on October 31st after 20 years on H Street, NE. As with all scuttlebutt sometimes things change. And if we’re lucky sometimes things change for the better. In fact we even wrote in the post “Maybe there will be another miracle in the works. It’s happened before…”
And while still scuttlebutt, I’m now hearing that Granville Moore’s may not be on the chopping block after all. This one is a little tricky as Granville Moore’s have issued no official updates on their IG though, as others have noted, their reservations remain open through December. So what’s the word on H Street? Perhaps, things have changed since they’ve seen an outpouring of love? Perhaps things have changed, just because things change? The word on the street is that SOME changes may be in store. I don’t want to get too deep in the weeds on those changes because obviously this is a fluid situation. But the important thing is, this is indeed looking like a miracle.
Check out their current menu here.
Here’s to hoping that Granville Moore’s is thriving for more many more years in any capacity. The only thing I know for sure is that I promise to continue to update as soon any official updates become available. Fingers crossed for only good updates! Stay tuned.

From Solid State Books:
“We have had a flood at our H Street bookstore and are likely to be closed for more than a week if not two. This is obviously a big hit for us, and we are trying to recoup some of our sales losses three ways: (1) by driving folks to our 14th Street store, (2) by urging folks to become Solid State Members, and (3) with a little merch run.” (more…)

Granville Moore’s
“DC’s Original Belgian Beer & Moules Frites Tavern”
Thanks to a few readers for sharing the sad news with us: “I learned tonight that Granville Moore’s is officially closing on October 31.”
What a run :( After opening in 2007, after 10 years we learned that the owner of the Queen Vic was taking over Granville Moore’s from Chef Teddy Folkman. During Covid in 2020 there was fear of a closure but fortunately we had a ‘Do You Believe in Miracles? Granville Moore’s edition’.
Granville Moore’s was a massive addition to the neighborhood. Granville Moore’s was one of the first to bring excitement to a revitalizing (pre-streetcar!) H Street, NE along with the Argonaut, Red and the Black, Palace of Wonders, Rock and Roll Hotel (all RIP) and thank God the still open Pug next door. Granville Moore’s was great. Granville Moore’s is great. They will be missed. Maybe there will be another miracle in the works. It’s happened before…
Stay tuned.
