Forget Fernet Branca taps. That's already been done in San Francisco. We're on to small batch bourbon taps. Specifically we're in to the Willett Orange Blossom Special on tap at Jack Rose starting tonight.

Jack Rose Aiming for June 1 Opening
GOG's Fritz Hahn tweeted this afternoon that new 18th Street watering hole Jack Rose "passed all inspections, getting liquor license today. Staff training starts ASAP, opening by 6/1 is 'definite.'" We got in touch with owner Bill Thomas, who confirmed that the Adams Morgan bar, located at 2007 18th Street NW, would definitely be open by June 1 -- with the little teaser of "or sooner."
Early Look: Jack Rose
Jack Rose in Adams Morgan has been a long time coming. And it won't be long before we can enjoy the delicious collection of pre-Prohibition liquors, the food of Chef Michael Hartzer, the tasty cocktails of Rachel Sergi, and the strong beer program being developed by Brian Kruglak. Think of it as a fancier take on Owner Bill Thomas's Bourbon, but with a focus on scotch. Though no official opening date has been set, a recent visit to the construction site shows that it shouldn't be too long before they're open for business.
