(No) H Street Country Club Name Change
The upcoming tavern, which will feature mini-golf, is changing its name to Par Bar. Read more about current and future hot spots on H Street here. This place will be located at 1335 H Street.

Country Club is a play on words--golf---club is synonymous
country because the course is designed to look as if it is outdoors.
Also, we thought it was high time that H street gets its own high fallutin joint, one tony enough to be called a country club.
Yes, the name is divisive--my friends always tell me the names I give the places are wrong. It is an endless debate over what THEY would call my places!
Also, the course is an-All-American, political theme, alas country again.
Speaking of taverns, I got this of a DC food/drink/event listserve. Anyone know anything about it?
"Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Heart's Club -- This new tavern, currently under construction in Northeast DC, will serve pizza during dinner and late night hours only. (1103 Bladensburg Road, NE)"
If I'm not mistaken one of the owners of this establishment came to the ANC 5B meeting in March. I believe they got their liquor license w/out a protest during the protest period but there is an ANC5B10 meeting this Friday where this place is one of the agenda items...so maybe it will still face some opposition? The owner said just he and the other owners would be working there and they evidently live in the neighborhood? Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
I think you're conflating a couple of different bars Rob. I believe you are talking about a new bar coming to Bladensburg (that was the owner at the March meeting and that place is on the 5B10 agenda for Friday). They don't have their liquor license yet (but I don't think anyone will protest) because the date got pushed back.

Interesting. Why the name change? Was an association to a country club too divisive? Just curious, I'm just looking forward to it opening.

Jimmy Valentine's is the new bar comping to Bladensburg (the one Rob is thinking about).
Yeah, sorry for saying that they got their liquor license already...that was a bad assumption on my part.
Wasn't ANC6A chair trying to convince us last year that there wasn't such a thing as a "bar"?
There is no legal designation of "bar" in DC. You've got either a CR license (restaurant), CT license (tavern), or CN license (nightclub).
