Frankie’s Kitchen and Cocktail Bar is a new bar with pizza and cocktails at 823 S Washington Street scheduled to open on Wednesday, April 3.
Alexandria Living Magazine reported that Hopkins and her husband had always wanted to open their own restaurant, and the timing worked when the broker for Faccia Luna reached out.
