From Pound The Hill (621 Pennsylvania Ave, SE):
Pound The Hill is finally launching our new bistro & wine bar concept in the evenings starting Thursday, at 5pm. It’s the same space but we’ve reworked it for the evenings, altered the atmosphere for an upscale casual bistro, hired a fantastic chef (Jonathan Taub) who was previously the sous chef at Art & Soul and Station 4 and hails from Philly, and have worked with several local boutique wine distributors and beverage directors to develop a really strong and unique craft beer and wine program.
Our food concept takes what we’ve always done for breakfast and lunch and applies it to dinner while taking it up several notches – food inspired by our favorite cuisines around the world. Our menu is meant to be kept compact and will feature changing specials from various regions of the globe frequently.
While we using the same space and will be maintaining the same neighborhood vibe, this new concept is significantly different from our current daytime concept and requires us to close for 1 hour for transition. Pound The Hill’s cafe closes at 4pm each day and the bistro opens at 5pm.
Our new bistro hours are Sunday through Thursday 5pm to 10pm and Friday & Saturday 5pm to 11pm (bar open until 12am).
You can see their new dinner and drink menus below:

They sell gyros so I already know exactly how bad this pizza is going to be.
I'm so glad you posted this - I hadn't thought to donate to the rebuilding. I just...
Sometimes you learn the hard way that trading your Kindle for a pumpkin is stupid.
looks like a good space. i wonder why people open businesses like this and don't succeed.
The no-turn-on-red right turns on Logan are completely ridiculous.
Wow, all this time I thought it was poond, not pound. That logo is bad.
My concept concept is to conceptualize concepts within concepts.
Great. I usually go to Pound to get a coffee, fail to find a seat, and swear I will never come back. Now, I can goto pound to get wine, fail to find a seat, and swear I will never come back.
I suppose that’s a good problem for the owners to have. I never have a problem finding a seat. It seems to be the largest coffee shop/cafe on the hill. Looking forward to the great new evening bistro vibe. Just what the area needs!
Got to check out a preview of bistro service on Tuesday night and it was awesome. Nice to finally have a classy dinner choice in this area among a string of bars with bad food.
If Pound was the classiest place on the Hill you found, you weren’t trying hard enough
Sonoma Wine Bar perhaps?
