The Most Anticipated Fall Restaurant Openings to Track Around D.C. - Eater DC

"Industry vets and buds Jean Paul (J.P.) Sabatier, Drew Porterfield, and Ralph Brabham, the team behind Logan Circle’s pint-sized drinking den Jane Jane, will do a second venture across town. Like 3-year-old Jane Jane, which has quickly risen as one of the city’s best cocktail bars, Bar Betsie honors another partner’s matriarch. Bar Betsie, named for Sabatier’s mom who had a penchant for hospitality, strives to be “soulful, unpretentious gathering place where everyone comes to play,” per a statement. A design by Edit Lab at Streetsense calls for hip neon accents reflected off mirrored walls, wood paneling, intimate booths, banquette seating, and 14-seat bar and outdoor patio slinging light snacks, beers, wines, and cocktails." - Tierney Plumb
