Dear PoPville,

Thought you might be interested in this house now being built on 14th PL NE near H street/Capitol Hill. Slightly different than your usual “Pop Up” posts. The original 2 story house on this plot burned over 30 years ago. For many years this was an empty plot of land that a few neighbors used as a community garden. Last year the city sold it to a developer who despite ANC opposition was able to get a permit to rebuild a house to include a cellar, 3 stories and a rooftop deck. The developer’s plan is to break it up into 2 units. The neighborhood opposition was around the height since all the other properties on this block are only 2 stories high.

New Bar, The Elroy, Coming to 1423 H Street, NE

1423 H Street, NE

This is a curious development – a new liquor license application has been posted outside 1423 H Street, NE – it says:

The Elroy (This is a transfer from 645 New York Avenue, NW. New York Avenue Beach Bar)

New Tavern. Beach themed Outdoors. Entertainment to be provided by DJ. No Nude Performances. Licensed Food Trucks will provide sale of food on premises; food prepared off-site and warmed on-premises. Total Load is 100; Total Number of seats is 40.

Obviously this is a storefront so they won’t be able to replicate the New York Ave Beach Bar here. So it sounds like a new bar called The Elroy will be using their liquor license. Looks like a lot of work is needed on the space so updates as construction progresses.

By Prince Of Petworth


1355 H Street, NE

Thanks to Pete for sending word from the folks at Vigilante coffee:

With the recent closing of SOVA and the current buildout of the H Street Coffee House there is a serious lack of caffeine on H st. We’ll be launching a Pop Up Coffee Shop inside Beirgarten starting Tuesday Feb 19th to help keep the neighborhood caffeinated! We will offer an espresso bar, Japanese Pour Over coffee, locally baked pastries, teas, and other non coffee beverages. Beirgarten will supply wifi and tables for customers to sit and enjoy their coffee.

This is a combined effort brought to H st by Vigilante Coffee, Maketto, and the new owners of H St Coffee house.

Hours 7am-1pm

Ben’s Chili Bowl Hoping to Open H Street, NE Location by “End of the Year”

By Prince Of Petworth


10th and H St, NE

Back in Sept. 2012 we noted the new signs for a future Ben’s Chili Bowl at the corner of 10th an H St, NE. I noticed the signs were no longer there and little progress had been accomplished so I wanted to check on their status. Owner Nizam Ali tells me that plans are moving forward and “Our goal is to open before the end of the year.”

Chez Hareg Organic Market Coming to H Street, NE

By Prince Of Petworth


806 H Street, NE

The former Z Mart located at 806 H St, NE will become Chez Hareg Organic Market. Elevation DC reports:

The 4,000-square-foot space should be open by the middle of April, she says, after a quarter of a million dollars in renovation expenses. The market will carry local produce, eggs, meat and more — many purchased from the same suppliers who serve the local farmer’s market, Messert says.

They also say the market comes from the same owner as Chez Hareg Gourmet Bakery.
