Fat Pete’s Pizza & BBQ Closing at the end of the week.

By Prince Of Petworth

3407 Connecticut Ave, NW (RIP Wake Up Little Suzie. And Pulpo, Tackle Box and McDonald’s…)

More sad news from Fat Pete’s Pizza & BBQ:

“This week is our last one, and before we close the doors, we’d love to see you one more time. ❤️

If Fat Pete’s has ever been your neighborhood spot, your go-to bar, your place for a celebration, or simply somewhere you shared a good night with good people, come back and raise one last glass with us. 🍻

We’ll see you Saturday, August 29 for our final weekend & farewell celebration.

Come by, bring a friend, share a story, and help us make these last few days unforgettable.

See you at the bar. ❤️🍻”

Ed. Note: I’m assuming this means Cleveland Park Bar and Grill will be closing upstairs as well but will update as I learn more.

“Yummy local food PSA” HUSTLE and Place Your Orders by Noon Today!!

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Local food PSA! Saw that Missed Connections is doing 4th of July meals to go and had to pass along the recommendation (if I wasn’t going out of town, I’d be all over it.) Really awesome new chef / concept. The smoked chicken with yuzu white sauce is unreal among everything else I’ve had there (coconut pandan bread!!).

They’re at Electric Cool Aid every Friday – so if you’re not picking up this weekend, definitely check them out this summer – great with a frozen bev.” (more…)

Update from CINDER: “We’re hopeful we can continue those negations and find a path forward that lets us continue serving this community we love so much.” – “Cinder BBQ being evicted?” Fingers Crossed They Work This Out!!

By Prince Of Petworth


800 Upshur Street, NW

Update from CINDER:

“This came out of nowhere. We had been in active dialogue with the landlord to sort out payments owed to both parties – including back rent from the previous tenant which we are indemnified from, money owed to us from the numerous times the landlord failed to pay the building’s water bill and we had to close, as well as reduced rent during Covid.

We were in the middle of figuring out a payment plan that was fair to both parties, and then they went radio silent. We’re hopeful we can continue those negations and find a path forward that lets us continue serving this community we love so much.”

Ed. Note: Cinder is beloved in Petworth, and beyond. Really hope they can work this out.

“Dear PoPville,

Just saw a guy taping this to the window: (more…)
