UPDATE – January 15, 2010 – It’s open!
The white sign mounted on orange backing (smaller circle in above photo) on a retail window can only mean one thing. A new establishment is coming (larger circle in above photo) at 507 7th Street NW; the two and a half level space spans two bay windows between the District Chophouse and the Red Velvet Cupcakery. The Alcohol Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) sign provides the usual clues about what will go in the space as follows:
NATURE OF OPERATION
A Tavern with darts, shuffleboard tables and a juke box. Occupancy Load is 299.
HOURS OF OPERATION, SALE, SERVICE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
Sunday – Thursday: 12 pm – 2 am
Friday – Saturday: 12 pm – 3 am
This is a Retail Class “C” Tavern [PDF] application with a petition date of May 11, 2009 and a hearing date of May 26, 2009. Jump past the break for the sign closeup or click here for the actual application [PDF]. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
Hat tips go out to two observant, regular PQ Living readers for alerting us that the last empty retail spot in the 500 block of 7th Street looks to get filled.

It might also lighten the crowds a bit at Rocket Bar, eliminating the lines on Friday and Saturday nights. One can only hope.
The application says it is “Iron Horse.” I wonder if it is affiliated with the Iron Horse tavern in Georgia. If so, here is the link to that site

If it is indeed the same, I think it will be a nice addition to the neighborhood for grabbing a few beers.
i think this will be a nice addition to pq, even though we already have rocket bar, fado, etc…
though, does anyone else think that a diner would do really well in our neighborhood??!?! a good place to go for brunch and late night food??
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Will the local churchies protest this wicked den of iniquity where the unchristian game of shuffleboard is played?
