The Week Ahead….and Barracks Row’s Lola’s “Aiming to Reopen Next Weekend”

Sources tell Capitol Hill Corner that Lola’s Bar and Grill on Barracks Row, shuttered since September 2016 for major renovations, is “aiming to reopen next weekend.” Last fall, Xavier Cervera and his partners regained ownership of the string of Capitol Hill/Nats Park restaurants which were sold to a Boston equity firm in December 2012. At the time, Cervera said that one of his first steps would be to temporarily close Lola’s for refurbishment of the interior. See original story here: http://bit.ly/2chTmCg
