Leah asks: “Major construction at the old slipstream on 14th! Any scuttlebutt on what’s going in?”
On last weekend’s walkabout I saw a worker inside the old Slipstream space and he tells me a Springbone Kitchen is coming and it is hoping to open here in late January or February. He also says after this location they have plans to open one in Arlington. (more…)
Crazy. Check out the full video (plus full reader report) to see just how brazen this was: (more…)

BIG opening coming at the end of the month in the former, legendary, Bar Pilar space. Get ready for The Last Straw from the folks behind Exiles/Easy Tiger Tavern (Karl Keane, Brian Hillery, Donagh Gilhooly) and Leon Kent formerly of Fadó, Red Hen and All-Purpose. EXCELLENT bona fides here so I was pretty excited when I stopped by on Friday to learn a bit more about their plans. Being a huge Bar Pilar fan, I have to admit I was a bit nervous about walking in and seeing what the space would look like. But I’m happy to share it still has those incredibly good vibes. The big bar is untouched downstairs though obviously the decor will change a bit. Think more sports themed. The Last Straw is aiming to be a proper casual neighborhood bar. I know that term can be debated/overused but anyone who has been to Exiles (U Street) or Easy Tiger (Adams Morgan) knows that these guys have earned that moniker. OK more about what they have planned for the space which they hope will be all things for all people: (more…)
Fences first went up in Logan Circle back in late March. Then there was the sign situation in April. Sidewalks opened in July.

Quick update on this because we’ve been getting tons of questions asking us if the Buffalo Billiards reboot on 14th Street, NW was still happening. I’m happy to share that YES, it is still 100% coming here the old Source Theatre space. Basically they had to combine two lots and it caused a major delay in permitting etc. The new timeline is looking like an opening in early 2027 so STAY TUNED for much more as they get closer to opening.

Continuing coverage of coming Jersey Mike’s locations continues. Earlier this week we shared the news that a Jersey Mike’s is coming to the old TaKorean space in Navy Yard. Next up is a location coming to 14th and S Street, NW.
What if I told you, once upon a time, there was a time: (more…)
