Food.Fun.Stuff: New Bar & Art In the Making

[ 0 ] November 18, 2009 |

In and around:

> The Passenger– From cocktail experts Tom and Derek Brown (*Formerly of Cork and The Gibson) comes The Passenger which opens this Thursday. Excitement fills the air as we look forward to the opening of this neighborhood bar. The doors are set to open @ 5 pm and cocktails will run you up to $9 (*$5-$15 for wines). We, however, think the most exciting part about this opening is the back room which will not open until early 2010…it will be just like The Gibson (*which is one of our fave cocktail lounges in the city). Again, we repeat to our readers, get in early. Not only is this going to be the new hot spot, but it will be opening where the old Warehouse Theater bar used to be on Seventh Street. We all know the traffic on Seventh…need we say more?

The Where: The Passenger, 1021 Seventh St. NW, Washington, D.C.
