301 Water Street, SE

“Dear PoPville,

Anyone know what is happening with Bammy’s in Navy Yard? Their Instagram says reopening May 1, but the website isn’t live. I called the number on Google and it was some poor lady who didn’t sound like she was affiliated with the restaurant but had accepted the fact that she was going to get calls about it.”

Bammy’s PR has confirmed that they are indeed open.
