1408 Okie Street, NE via The Lane
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about The Lane converting to an adults-only space. Got an email [see below] this morning inviting me to join a “one-of-a-kind grownup indoor playground club…” for $299/month plus a $250 initiation fee.
The website stripped most of its language about children and only features photos of adults. (more…)
From District Made Spirits (1135 Okie Street, NE):
“On Saturday, December 2nd from 1 – 6 PM, please join us at the distillery for a spirited celebration. Your favorite District Made Spirits and Untitled Offerings all come with a complimentary engraving by Right Place Studio. As a bonus, any retail purchase over $100 receives 10% off and all cocktails are $10!
Chef Ben Plyraham from Urai will also be on-site with his Thai/Italian-American cuisine from 2 – 6PM.
We hope to see you there!”
1135 Okie Street, NE opened here back in January 2015 originally One Eight Distilling before changing brand to District Made Spirits
As a big gin drinker and a big fan – this is a huge bummer. District Made‘s Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Laufer, tells me that they are looking to sell the distillery and have closed their beautiful tasting room in Ivy City. They will continue to distribute and stay open for retail until the holidays and are hoping to open the tasting room for one last bash.
STAY TUNED.
