The original location of Chez Billy is being reborn as Ten Tigers Parlour. Petworth News reports it will have both Victorian-era and Asian themes, with dumplings, a new chef, dim sum, and more. Expect a coffee bar and DJs, too. No official word on when it might open, though. The original Chez Billy is located at 3815 Georgia Ave. NW; Michelle Obama favorite Chez Billy Sud remains open in Georgetown. [PN]
The shutter
NoMa bar Union Social has closed its doors. Washington City Paper says the owners found the location near the metro (also the bar’s theme) to be a challenge. [WCP]
Also in closings, District Cuisine notes that The Elroy is closed on H Street. The bar opened in 2013 with a futuristic theme.
