The Most Exciting D.C. Restaurant Openings to Look Forward to This Spring | Eater DC

"The historic watering hole that closed in Clarendon in 2021 resurfaces at the Wharf after owner Jon Williams transformed the Brighton bar into a waterfront dive. The relocation brings back the iconic vertical green "Grill" sign from the Arlington original and a long-awaited "Whitlows" mural framing a 50-foot marbled bar. Expect a familiar menu of beers, cocktails, burgers, and wings, a high-end speaker system and stage for live music, a second-story midcentury wooden bar with an additional patio overlooking the Potomac, and a huge tiki-styled party boat that will dock out front this spring." - Tierney Plumb
