"At Pop, his newly minted 'fizz bar' in Shaw, every drink on-site is carbonated and comes from a can or bottle. The playful venture popped on open on Saturday, December 17 with over a dozen half bottles of Champagne to choose from ($28-$75), as well as beer, cider, hard kombucha, sparkling sake and seltzers, canned cocktails, sparkling wine, and pet-nats. Cocktails ($14) pair shots with bottles of soda: absinthe with root beer; green chartreuse with grape soda; and bourbon with Cheerwine. Kroll, who also owns Maxwell Park wine bars in Shaw and Navy Yard, believes canned beverages are on the up and up. Pop opens with 50 types to choose from." - Emily Wishingrad
