Fruit Bat Comes to 1236 H Street

I've mention before that a craft cocktail lounge will occupy the space left vacant by H Street Martini Lounge. I've also mentioned that it would come courtesy of the guys behind Wisdom.  Now H Street Great Street has some more detail, including a name: Fruit Bat. HSGS reports that the place will have a South American theme, so expect lots of good summer drinks, with a tropical flair. This pretty much guarantees that you'll see pisco sours, and capirinhas. Other than that, I expect the drink list will look a bit like the specialty cocktail offerings from Ceiba and Cafe Citron (link plays loud music). The kitchen will offer up South American street food. Sounds interesting.
