By Prince Of Petworth


624 T Street, NW

Right Proper Brewing Company opened here back in December 2013. It was, what we call in the business, a GAME CHANGER.

Thanks to all who passed on the big news from Right Proper.

Some big tidbits from their IG video announcement:

Eckington is still coming, not yet but it’s coming “Summer”? Shaw location will be moving to a new “2nd generation restaurants space” somewhere in DC. Big news about who is taking over the space but they won’t say who yet. LOTS to stay tuned for. Goodness.

Any guesses on where the new space will be?
