“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I were sitting at the bar [Friday] at 6:30 pm at Shaw’s Tavern having a drink when a man bumped into me and ordered a drink.
Seconds later my purse that was on chair under my jacket fell to the floor and I had a bad feeling immediately. I quickly picked up my purse and checked it to find that my wallet was missing. (more…)

From POP (no relation):
“One of the country’s most acclaimed sommeliers will soon open POP, a 40-seat fizz bar, on December 17th, 2022. Located in Washington, DC’s north Shaw neighborhood at 2108 Vermont St. NW near the famous 9:30 Club, POP is the brainchild of award-winning wine expert Brent Kroll of Maxwell Park fame. The playful bar devotes itself to all-things-bubbles, with more than 40 carbonated cans, an extensive sparkling wine menu, and a craveable food menu from Chef Bart Hutchins.
The name “POP” is multi-pronged — a reference for soda in the Midwest (where Kroll grew up), a play into pop culture references, and a nod to everything being carbonated. Kroll was also inspired by a pop music + sparkling wine pop-up bar he once hosted in NYC during FLXcursion. (more…)
