New Signage Up for Walls of Books & The Midlands

February 23, 2016
New signage for Walls of Books and The Midlands

New signage for Walls of Books and The Midlands

I noticed last night that the sign for the stip mall at Georgia and Morton has been changed to reflect the new and coming businesses at the property. I also liked the neighborhood name heading the sign.

Walls of Books has been open for a short while now (a great shop worth checking out). The Midlands is a Beer Garden currently being built out at 3333 Georgia Avenue and is a collaboration between Trent Allen, Robin Webb & Peyton Sherwood (those familiar with Kangaroo Boxing Club will recognize some of those names). The Midlands team attended the February meeting of ANC 1A to informally introduce themselves and give an idea of their venture.

To give a sense of where The Midlands is with there build out, below are a few progress shots for a couple weeks back.

Ruta Del Vino Applies for Liquor Liscence on Upshur

December 17, 2015

800-802 Upshur Street(Future site of Ruta Del Vino, 8th and Upshur Street, NW)

800-802 Upshur Street, NW, was recently placarded for a liquor license application for Ruta Del Vino, a new restaurant and wine bar coming to the Petworth community. The eatery will be serving Latin American cuisine, wine, cocktails, and bear. The application includes an entertainment endorsement for flamenco guitar. The total occupancy is 141 with seating for 76 inside and a sidewalk cafe seating 20.

Upshur Street has certainly come into its own and its nice to see it continue to grow. I’m really looking forward to this addition to the strip.

New Restaurant in the Works for 3301 Georgia Avenue

November 19, 2015

I’ve been informed that the  former chef of Duke’s Grocery, Alex McCoy, Dukes Grocery — a cafe, social market, and pub has signed a lease for the former Mothership space at 3301 Georgia Avenue.

Dukes Grocery currently has a location at 1513 17th Street NW. According to their Web site, “Duke’s Grocery is a neighborhood pub and supper spot. … The idea is simple: create a fun spot that our friends (you!) can come in anytime and have a fulfilling meal, a tasty drink and great time in an atmosphere that is unpretentious and laid back. Tuck in, drink up and enjoy!”

This looks like it will be a good addition to the neighborhood and one I’m looking forward to learning more about.

Corrected 8:45 am — original lease information was unclear, but has since been confirmed.

According to the signs in the windows, the Petworth Café located on the east side of Georgia Avenue between Quebec Place and Rock Creek Church Road will open for business on Thursday, October 8th. Two of the signs also give an indication on what kind of food they’ll be selling. The business has not applied for a liquor license, so they will not be serving alcohol.

According to the sign at 3657 Georgia Avenue, the Petworth Cafe will be opening there soon. This is located on the block south of Rock Creek Church Road and next to the old hardware store, where Reliable Tavern and Hardware will be opening. I’ve heard little about this business, though what I’ve heard has been positive. Also, in checking with ABRA they have not applied for a liquor license so far.

Checking Out Slash Run on Upshur

July 30, 2015
Slash Run at 201 Upshur Street, NW.

Slash Run at 201 Upshur Street, NW.

After reading Fritz Hahn’s July 24th A Georgia Avenue-Petworth bar crawl with stops at new arrivals Slash Run and Walter’s
(which also gives shout outs to Park View’s DC Reynolds and Walter’s) — and having several people recommend the burgers at Slash Run — I decided it was time to check it out. All it all, it is a very welcoming place.

If you plan to go and eat, you’ll want to plan your visit accordingly as the dining room is smaller but serviceable. There wasn’t a long wait on the night I was there, but I imagine there will be nights when that happens.

I found the burgers to indeed  be good and who can resist waffle fries. Everyone in my party also agreed that what they had was flavorful.

If you’ve been to Slash Run, what was your experience?
