"The upscale sports bar that aligns itself with the University of Alabama maintains locations in Foggy Botton and downtown. Load up on buffalo chicken or truffle tots, local bratwurst, its beloved burger, and pitchers of beer. The team will soon expand to Mt. Vernon Triangle with a less-sporty, more cheffed-up edition dubbed Proper Bar." - Tierney Plumb
"The sleek sports bar out of New York City opened a second D.C. location in Foggy Bottom last fall." - Tierney Plumb
"The clubby sports bar from New York recently opened its second D.C. location, giving Foggy Bottom a new 66-seat patio where customers can sample a range of huge sandwiches and other bar food with a Korean through-line. The bar offers six different flavors of crushes ($13), and there are different drink specials every night, BOGO crushes during a four-hour Friday happy hour and a 90-minute bottomless brunch on weekends. The inside of the restaurant is full of TVs, and an NFL Sunday Ticket package makes every game available." - Tierney Plumb
"Four years after entering the D.C. market, New York City-based sports bar Proper 21 opens a second D.C. location tonight in Foggy Bottom. The taps at the new restaurant (2033 K Street NW) start flowing at 8 p.m., just in time to host the NFL’s 2020 season opener." - Tierney Plumb
"In early April, downtown’s upscale sports bar Proper 21 was the first D.C. restaurant to spark a legal battle over coverage as its dining rooms remained closed during the coronavirus crisis." - Tierney Plumb
