Neighborhoods- Adams Morgan News

As our work at The Charles gets closer to completion, so does the progress at several new restaurants in the neighborhood.  Here are a few of the places that are set to open in the next few months.


1.  The Jack Rose (2007 18th St NW)

The Jack Rose is a new bar from the owner of Bourbon, which has locations in Adams Morgan and Glover Park.  The concept of the bar is basically a mix between a high end restaurant with small plates and a cocktail bar.  The restaurant should be opening in the next few weeks.

2.  Mellow Mushroom (2436 18th St NW)

Mellow Mushroom is a highly-popular pizza chain in the Southeastern US that is set to open their first franchise in DC this summer.  I went to school in Atlanta and I can promise you that Mellow Mushroom has some of the best pizza I've ever eaten.  The new DC location takes over the spot where 18th and Red, a bar, operated for the last three years.

3.  Mintwood Place (1813 Columbia Road NW)

This is a new restaurant from the people behind Perry's, which is located right above this new space.  The restaurant will be upscale American and will be a welcome addition to a block of stores that already has two other great places to eat in Perry's and Cashion's. 

Here is the new location.  Perry's, upstairs, has one of the best happy hour specials in the city- two appetizers and a cocktail for $20.  (photo courtesy princeofpetworth.com)
