Super Sad Scuttlebutt as an End of an Era Approaches on H Street, NE – Granville Moore’s to close after almost 20 years dishing delicious Belgian Beer and Moules Frites

Granville Moore’s
“DC’s Original Belgian Beer & Moules Frites Tavern”

Thanks to a few readers for sharing the sad news with us: “I learned tonight that Granville Moore’s is officially closing on October 31.”

What a run :( After opening in 2007, after 10 years we learned that the owner of the Queen Vic was taking over Granville Moore’s from Chef Teddy Folkman. During Covid in 2020 there was fear of a closure but fortunately we had a ‘Do You Believe in Miracles? Granville Moore’s edition’.

Granville Moore’s was a massive addition to the neighborhood. Granville Moore’s was one of the first to bring excitement to a revitalizing (pre-streetcar!) H Street, NE along with the Argonaut, Red and the Black, Palace of Wonders, Rock and Roll Hotel (all RIP) and thank God the still open Pug next door. Granville Moore’s was great. Granville Moore’s is great. They will be missed. Maybe there will be another miracle in the works. It’s happened before…

Stay tuned.

Yo!! Finally some good news. Check out Augie’s Mussel House and Beer Garden Alexandria’s menu menu here. “Cathedral Heights, Washington, DC (coming soon!)”

Each location has its own personality, but they all share the spirit of St. Augustine, the Patron Saint of Brewers—great food, cold beer, and good company.”

LOTS of folks have been writing in asking about what’s going into the old Talea space on Wisconsin in Cathedral Heights. Today we finally found out what’s up – a spot called Auggie’s is coming! (more…)

1101 K Street, NW

On Friday we shared some scuttlebutt about Brasserie Beck’s likely coming closure.

The official word: “As of March 17,2024, Brasserie Beck is permanently closed. Thank you to all our guests and staff for a wonderful 17 years!

“With a mix of emotions, we share the news of Brasserie Beck’s closure. Today marks the end of our service after 17 years of operation. Since opening our doors in April 2007, Brasserie Beck has been a DC staple known for its Belgian cuisine, wide selection of European beers, lively patio and bar scene, and welcoming atmosphere.

Locolat Cafe Applies for Alcohol License

By Prince Of Petworth

We’ve judged Locolat Cafe, located at 18th and Florida Ave, in the past.

I thought it was interesting that they’ve applied for an alcohol license. The application says that they’ll have:

“Sandwiches, savory waffles, quiches, desserts, chocolates and brunch.”

Sounds like you’ll soon be able to get some mimosas and bloody marys with brunch. I definitely support that. Incidentally what’s a Belgian coffee?
