UPDATE: NRG spokesperson Amber Pfau says that Birch & Barley/ChurchKey will open tomorrow, “barring natural disasters.” For an inside look, see Metrocurean‘s preview on the place.
The DC-Beer listserv has been humming today on a rumor that Birch & Barley/ChurchKey, the long-awaited twin-concept, beer-soaked bar and restaurant (which is not a gastropub!), will finally open tomorrow. Neighborhood Restaurant Group has been conducting mock services already, but one member of the listserv writes:
My wife got a press release/e-mail in her e-mail from a local business networking group which states that Birch & Barley opens tomorrow.
Beerspotter Orr Shtuhl says the rumors are true, butI’m trying to get confirmation on this from NRG. More as I know it.
