This Upcoming NoVa Ax-Throwing Bar Has a Very Punny Name

Coming attractions

Sterling is getting its own ax-throwing bar: the Washington Business Journal interviews the husband-and-wife owners of Axes and O’s. The plan is to open up at 21680 Ridgetop Circle, Ste. 125 in November, with the goal of serving beer and wine and bar food.

New fast eats downtown

PoPville spotted signage for health-conscious British eatery Leon in Franklin Square at 14th and I streets NW. The UK chain opened its first D.C. location in 2018 and it’s bulking up on outposts in the city.
