"Derek Brown and his team at Drink Company created a series of rotating, elaborately themed pop-up bars at 1843 Seventh Street NW in Shaw. These pop-ups included themes from HBO’s Game of Thrones to D.C.’s cherry blossoms. The pop-ups featured intricate decor, unique cocktails, and were major selfie backdrops for visitors. Despite their popularity, the high costs and logistics led to their closure after the holiday-themed Miracle on 7th Street installation." - Adele Chapin
