The Post contains a short update on what's new and suggests that the H Street Country Club, which will open in the vacant space previously occupied by Phish Tea, will be open this spring. The Country Club is a tongue in cheek venture from Joe Englert and co. that will serve burgers and other American fare amidst a nineteen hole DC themed mini-golf course. Sorry about the barely literate version of this that was up earlier today, I got distracted miscomposition & didn't post the corrected version.

On a somewhat related topic, whatever happened to the Majestic by Gwen? When I walked by the other day it looked like it was for rent. I was wondering why it hadn't been mentioned in any of the stories about H Street. I went there once and it seemed OK. Did it just close quietly, or did I miss something?
I was told this (the Country Club) isn't going to happen. It's dead.
Awesome rumor-mongering, anonymous. Wait, let me try:
I overheard a guy in Sidamo who said that Joe Englert was going to buy the new H Street streetcar and deck it out like a rolling pub. Also, the rail line will now terminate directly inside the Argonaut, where the pool table is.
Sweet!
As to what anon 12:23 says, I have talked to someone else who mentioned hereing something about the project being pretty much dead, but it does seem to be popping up in discussions between Joe Englert & press people so I'm assuming that if it was ever off, it now must be back on.
Chris, there were some changes at the Majestic, but I belive it had to do with the space upstairs & they switched out some furniture. The Majestic was mentioned in the Washingtonian piece.
