From an email:

“Since opening Slash Run we have done two events with the Soldier’s Home – one at the Soldier’s Home for a happy hour and one at Slash as a fundraiser for them.

We loved doing both and it got us to thinking about how much more we should get involved and supportive of the community as a whole.

So, in 2016 we’re starting to have fundraiser nights at Slash Run for any non-profit, arts or theater organizations, food banks, etc. If people are interested in participating they can email me at [email protected].

Here are the details:
Sunday-Thursday evening/night
We promote/they promote
15% of Sales from that night go to the organization (they get the benefit of whatever sales we would have naturally done)
Pretty simple

We’ve done this up at Sidebar over the years and it has been great.

Also, starting tonight BURGERS ARE HALF PRICE ON MONDAYS AT SLASH RUN!

All night at the bar and after 7pm in the dining room. Must purchase a drink. Not available for take out.”

Back in January we learned that Burger Tap & Shake would be coming to the former Neisha Thai Restaurant space (briefly EUR Asian) in Tenleytown. BTS now says:

“We are hoping to open by the end of the week!”

Check out their Tenleytown menu here.

This will be their second location, the first Burger Tap & Shake is located at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW in Foggy Bottom.

A peek inside the new spot:

Back in March we noted that Black and Orange would become Boss Burgers. Don’t know about the burgers but I like the outdoor seating they’ve added.

Anyone try a burger yet? Depending on how good your eyes are, you can peep the menu here:

For more than 400 years, beer has been stored in barrels and aged to a bold, complex taste. Barrels are often made of oak, and many have been previously used for bourbon or wine to further enhance the layers of flavor. Enjoy this sampling of barrel-aged beer that spans a range of styles.”
