Long-Awaited Pub Near Howard University Sets November Opening Date

A gastropub that’s been years in the making near Howard University appears to have set a firm opening date.

The Hilltop Bar and Restaurant (2737 Sherman Ave. NW) is scheduled to open Nov. 11, according to a recent Facebook post. Local blog New Columbia Heights was the first to spot the new opening date.

“[The Hilltop] is opening Nov. 11,” the Oct. 29 post reads. “Can’t wait to see you.”

This isn’t the first time the eatery’s owners said they were ready to start slinging food and drinks, however. The restaurant also said it would open last September, then again last May.

When the business finally opens its doors, it will serve a menu that includes offerings such as roasted brussels sprouts, cauliflower and burrata salad, according to the eatery’s Facebook page.
