Czech-Style Bistro Bohem Permanently Closes After 8 Years in Shaw - Eater DC

"Bistro Bohem, the Czech-style bar and cafe in Shaw, has permanently closed after eight years of business. It offered Czech and Central European dishes such as beef goulash, pork shanks, schnitzel sandwiches, pierogies, potato pancakes, and apple strudel. The bar also served Slivovitz and operated as a daytime cafe. It was opened by Prague native Jarek Mika with Czech chef Robin Jurek in 2012 and later taken over by Daniel Sidzina and his wife Vendula in 2016. Due to circumstances beyond their control, it was no longer feasible to remain open, despite having tried to make it work during the pandemic by providing curbside pickup and patio dining." - Gabe Hiatt
