Shaw’s beloved corner bar All Souls is getting a little brother. The Little Grand (808 Seventh St. NE) is set to open late next year with a modest cocktail, beer, and wine menu, and the addition of a kitchen serving up pizza.

“We really like pizza,” owner David Batista tells DCist. “It’s a good bar food. It’s simple, it’s easy. We can do a lot of things with high-quality ingredients.”

Batista says he and his team just signed the lease on the space, located in The Apollo next to the WeWork, and have applied for a liquor license. At about 1200 square feet, The Little Grand will be just slightly larger than All Souls and feature more table space than its predecessor. Batista declined to comment on the kitchen team, or on the specifics of the pizza menu. “We’re a little too far out to get into details,” he says.

Batista’s All Souls partner Joanna Brady is joining as a co-owner, along with Batista’s wife Soung Wiser, whose General Design Company created the brand identity and design for All Souls, and will for The Little Grand as well (disclosure: Wiser did unrelated work on DCist’s branding as well).

Like All Souls, The Little Grand will feature simple cocktails along with beer and wine, and Batista is mulling over expanding that menu.

“Maybe we’ll have a couple more draft beers with the added space out there: anywhere from four to six taps, eight to ten bottles or cans, little bit more wine maybe,” he says, plus “Simple, curated whiskey and liquor.” Prices of drinks will be kept similar to that of All Souls ($6-$12 for beer, $9-$11 for cocktails).

One thing Batista can say with confidence is that All Souls’ namesake cocktail—a coupe of sparkling rosé served alongside a Makers Mark bourbon, neat—will make its way to The Little Grand.

“I’m sure we’ll have sparkling rose and Maker’s Mark,” Batista says. “That’s a drink you can order almost anywhere.”

Popville and District Cuisine were the first to report the new space.
