1825 M Street, NW

Update from the broker: “We are exploring options throughout Dupont right now that we think the existing ATP will appreciate that have the ability to launch a solid food menu and continue to be a neighborhood soccer and sports destination, but we haven’t made any decisions on the space yet.

Will definitely be before the World Cup!”

Wowza. OK the tipsters have come through with Across the Pond/Sign of the Whale news.

Yesterday we broke the news that Across the Pond had closed on Connecticut Ave but would likely be moving somewhere in the neighborhood. After earlier posting that the Sign of the Whale‘s business license had been canceled an ANC rep teased us, “You came close to solving this today” after previously telling us “Another bar in the neighborhood is planning to relocate there after doing some renovations. I don’t think it’s public yet so I’ll hold off on revealing which one.”

Other tipsters came through with the goods (more…)

Trio did indeed have their closing party Sunday night. But a very reliable tipster has shared with me what’s in store for the space:

A very well established local operator is taking over Trio and the Fox and Hounds. Trio will become some kind of French bistro and the Fox and Hounds will remain more or less the same. (more…)



2436 18th Street, NW – previously home to The Jerk Pit, Baja Tap, Big Sky, Mellow Mushroom, and Eighteenth and Red

Well happy Friday to us all after all!! I’m told that the Popal Group (owners of fellow Adams Morgan hot spots Lapis and the recently opened – Maison Bar à Vin) bought the building most recently home to The Jerk Pit (et al). Word on the street is that they plan to put The Berliner there. (more…)



14th and S Street, NW

Update: “Definitely the foo fighters. They posted it online minutes ago. People who are in line can get 2 tickets and no more, but there is confusion about if the second person needs to be physically present. Must be here in person, numbered wristbands are being handed out. At 6:30, numbers will determine who gets opportunity to buy tickets for $30 but that is when you have to enter the venue.” (more…)
