Tap & Parlour opened up back in early Feb. ’11 in the Bohemian Caverns building at 11th and U St, NW.
Anyone check out their brunch yet? Anyone check them out just for drinks?

“Dear PoP,
Just wanted to let you know that Dodge City’s back patio is open [917 U St, NW]. It is two levels and awesome. I went there just the other night and was very impressed. The owner told me that it’s still a work in progress, but it looks great as it is at this point.”
Couple of cool details after the jump. (more…)
3435 Holmead Place, NW
I look forward to checking out the renovations when they begin.

Back in the end of March we had a pre preview of the space and the transformation is amazing. Lost Society will be opening up on Friday at the corner of 14th and U St, NW. I was fortunate to get a media preview and took tons of photos. You can see their menus here. Straightaway – I can say the space looks amazing, the oysters were delicious and I’m super psyched about their huge roof deck. As always the photos do a better job than I can do with my words.
Lots more photos after the jump – including one of the best new roof decks in town. (more…)
