“Dear PoPville,

I recently learned that Satellite Room is changing their menu (and seemingly their entire “diner” concept) to feature pizza (apparently it will soon be just pizza, wings, and shakes). Allegedly the switch will happen in the next few weeks.”

Ed. Note: I spoke with one of the owners who confirmed they were dropping the diner concept and switching up to focus mainly on pizza (including by the slice and a gluten free option) and wings (as early as today or tomorrow.) He also said the beer program would be expanded significantly with 20 beers now on tap (from Atlas to 3 Stars, to Flying Dog to Modelo to Right Proper to Evo to Bell’s to Ballast Point to DC Brau, ANXO and PBR of course (and more). Bye bye burgers and tots but boozy milkshakes (and salads) shall remain thank the Gods.

Also of note, there will be DJ’s playing on weekends and a boatload of tv’s have been added.

As the world turns…. Satellite Room opened up back in 2012 behind the 9:30 club.

UPDATE: Thanks to a reader for sharing a GoFundMe page for Fabian:

“On the early morning of October 1st on Q street in Washington DC Fabian was walking home from work and was approached by two young men. They held him up for money. Fabian refused and one of the men drew a gun and shot at him twice. One of the bullets entered his forearm it traveled up thru his arm and out his bicep shredding the muscles and damaging the nerves in his arm. A bystander immediately called 911 and he was quickly rushed to Howard University Hospital where he is receiving excellent care. He is so lucky to have cat like reflexes. If he had not raised his arm in defense the bullet would have entered his chest and likely killed him. We all know Fabian as our favorite RONIN Bartender and he needs our help. He does not have health insurance and will not be able to get back to work for the foreseeable future. While still receiving treatment at the hospital the bills are piling up. Please donate to help Fabian today!”

Angel’s Share Wines & Liquors coming to former Log Cabin Liquors in Shaw

End/Beginning of an era. Log Cabin Liquors was listed for sale back in November 2016. I peeked in the door and there has been a total renovation. Long gone are the bulletproof glass dividers. Updates as they get closer to opening. End/Beginning of an era for sure.

So Long Steven Alan at The Shay

By Prince Of Petworth


1924 8th Street, NW

I hardly knew ya! Steven Alan opened up in The Shay back in November 2015. Thanks to Corey for sending last week:

“I saw that the Steven Alan in the Shay was having a ‘Store Closing’ sale with up to 50% off. Never really had a ton of business, so I guess it makes sense.”

Last Push Before Opening this Fall, Kickstarter launched for Supra’s artwork. “Beyond khachapuri: We’re the first restaurant to bring authentic food from Georgia to DC.”

From an email:

“Supra (1205 11th Street, NW), DC’s first Georgian restaurant, set to open later this fall has just launched a kickstarter campaign. The campaign, details of which can be found here, is focused on fundraising for the restaurant’s artwork, which will feature pieces from Georgian, Russian and DC-based artists. Custom commissions include pieces from White Studio in Tbilisi (and artisans in the countryside), the Petrovka Art Studio in Moscow), and Schwa Design in Washington, DC. The owners, Jonathan and Laura Nelms, have also commissioned a Georgian street artist, Gagosh, who will paint a mural on the brick wall of the bar.

The rewards are varied, including t-shirts, Georgian alphabet post cards, khachapuri and khinkali classes, papakhi (a traditional, puffy Georgian hat, featured in the campaign’s video) and an opportunity to visit, tour and eat throughout Georgia. Check out the video for more details and an intro to the team, including the owners and Chef Malkhaz Maisashvili, former Embassy of Georgia chef, who makes some khinkali (Georgian soup dumplings) with Chef and Operations Manager Lonnie Zoeller.”

From a press release:

“Winter has come and gone for Drink Company, and the team is poised to celebrate fall and fright in PUB DREAD all October long. The season is ripe for horror, which will dominate the spaces that previously hosted Cherry Blossom PUB, Game of Thrones PUB, and Miracle on 7th Street (1839-1843 7th Street NW).

PUB DREAD from Drink Company on Vimeo.

Co-owner Derek Brown says, “For us, Halloween is the perfect foil to create a pop-up space–you’ve got horror, camp and pop-culture all wrapped in one season. We’ve gone all out with this one and, from the decor to the drinks, I think Halloween heads are going to rejoice. Plus, you get to wear your costume 31 days this year, which is a total bonus.”

At PUB Dread, guests will celebrate Halloween for 31 day straight with cocktails like The Dead Will Walk the Earth and We All Float Down Here in the discomfort of The Haunted Woods and The Dollhouse. Expect plenty of frightful surprises that will challenge you to hold onto your drink. (more…)
