From the owners of Bar Charley, El Chucho, Slash Run (and more) comes Little Coco’s opening Thursday! I was lucky enough to get an early taste and I’m happy to report that we have another jaw dropper. Both in aesthetics and deliciousness.
Have a look at the menu:
A mini look inside – with perhaps the most comfortable bar seating in town:
And don’t forget the roof deck:
I had to take a taste immediately:
And to be expected from this group – the drinks were top notch too!
Here’s “a lovely lineup of the vintage Amari we’ll be serving.”

Outdoor signage wasn’t up when I stopped by but just to orient you – the former Rib Pit Lounge and current Little Coco’s in the middle (on 14th Street just north of Randolph and Red Derby and Lyman’s):

Back in May 2015, Fish in the Hood first added some shade to their outdoor patio. We’re about to reach phase three.
Update – A reader reports:
“The seats are for eating and his future plans is to serve soft ice cream.”

A reader reports:
“The good news: Work is actively taking place in the Reliable Tavern spot.
The bad news: From the glimpse I caught, it doesn’t look like they’ll be opening any time soon.”
3900 Georgia Ave, NW
A reader reported on Friday:
“At approx. 5:15 I was getting off the georgia ave metro and a group of kids was in a clump behind me and then I realize that they were throwing eggs at people and cars and at the buses. So I dropped down behind them so they can’t hit me with the eggs and we pass this one corner where there’s an older woman who wears a full hijab who has like a little stand all the time just selling like kind of like sunglasses and umbrellas and stuff. They all mob the stand and just start stuffing their shirts and pockets with her items and she tries to grab them and they start throwing eggs at her. After they left I walked up to her and apologize just because it was so awful and gave her the money i had in my wallet because I didn’t know what else to do it was so awful. I was wondering if you could make a post for people in the Petworth neighborhood to keep an eye out for violence in the area, speak up when it’s safe to do so and maybe to buy something from this woman when they see her? She’s usually out front of the Wendy’s on Georgia.”
