6035 Wilson Blvd
It’s official. The lease has been signed for Dominion Pint and it’s coming to Wilson Blvd in Ballston Dominion Hills. For those not familiar you can get an idea of what’s coming from Meridian Pint’s menus here. I’m told if all goes well they should be open this coming December!
Big, big news for our cousins across the river – you’re getting a Pint! For those not familiar, you really need to get out more : )
Meridian Pint was founded on the premise of environmental sustainability. Our strict focus on American craft beer allows us to eliminate the impact of transatlantic shipping as well as maintain a locally based revenue stream. In addition, we serve mostly draft beer enabling us to reduce our impact on recycling resources. A large percentage of our chef-driven, seasonal menu is sourced from local and regional farms. Pairing great beer with unique dinners, cheeses or appetizers enables us to elevate the growing culture of craft beer here in Washington, DC.
Composting the bulk of our waste helps us reduce our impact on landfills to less than 10%. Furthermore, much of the equipment, furniture, construction materials and design elements have been recycled or reclaimed. Our energy source comes from wind mill farms in the way of green energy credits. Finally, 95% of our staff lives within walking distance helping to minimize parking problems, traffic flow and overall reduce our carbon foot print.
It is our hope to be environmental stewards to the community and hopefully convey a better way of doing business through the spirit of American craft beer. We hope you enjoy your experience.
–John Andrade, Owner
Until all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed an exact location is not yet known but it’ll be somewhere in North Arlington (Not in Clarendon or Ballston.) Very good news for NoVa – updates in a few weeks when the ink should be dry! (Do people still use these expressions?) You can see Meridian Pint’s menus here. STAY TUNED.

ARLnow with the sad news:
“The owners of IOTA Club and Cafe in Clarendon announced this morning they have decided to close after 23.5 years in business. Currently, the last item on IOTA’s performance calendar is an open mic night on Wednesday, Sept. 27. The venue’s lease expires on Sept. 30, which will be the IOTA’s day in business.”
This raccoon is having a rough morning-just wanted some trash & ended up in Rosslyn!

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share this feel good story because my confidence in local police (in Arlington) was just reaffirmed.
On Tuesday night I was driving to DC from the Rosslyn at 6:45 pm and was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on Key Bridge. When the two lanes become three, the car behind me veered into the far left lane to prevent me from merging. He pulled his car up next to mine and proceeded to yell obscenities at me through our open windows (it was an unusually warm night). When the light finally changed he pulled ahead of me, scratching the front left side of my car. Traffic was horrible, so I was forced to sit behind him for another 10 minutes until we were able to turn left. During that time, he removed items from his car and threw them at my car. When we were finally able to turn onto M, I pulled off the road to avoid him any further (clearly he was not going to pull over to exchange insurance information). (more…)
