The story came out late on Friday, so in case you missed it: Atlas Brew Works is coming to Carlyle.
The D.C.-based brewery — a popular spot in the Ivy City neighborhood and locally renowned for its trivia night — announced plans to open at 2501 Mandeville Lane later this year.
The new location is in the Carlyle Crossing development, just across from the AMC theater.
The announcement also included news that the brewery will include food from Andy’s Pizza, which also recently opened a new location in Old Town.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both!
