Easy Tiger Tavern, a new watering hole from Donagh J. Gilhooly, Brian J. Hillery, and Karl S. Keane, is opening in Adams Morgan this winter.
Easy Tiger Tavern will replace Pop’s Sea Bar, at 1817 Columbia Rd. NW, the planned venue announced on Instagram. The Pop’s Sea Bar space has been papered over since at least October 2022.
“Welcome to Easy Tiger Tavern! Opening in Adams Morgan this winter!,” according to the post, which included the above picture. “More info soon.”
Gilhooly, Hillery, and Keane are behind Exiles Bar which replaced Stetsons Famous Bar & Grill, at 1610 U St. NW, according to its website.
“After a massive renovation, including construction of a new kitchen, second-floor bar/restaurant area and the addition of five brand new bathrooms, Exiles Bar is both excited and honored to join the U Street Corridor,” the owners write of Exiles on its website. “Much of the building has been stripped back to its original brick and stone. New lighting and audio/visual equipment provide warmth and clarity to this historic building, which has operated as a restaurant continuously since the 1930s.”
Details surrounding Easy Tiger Tavern are forthcoming.
