Lydia R Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The most recent Washington Business Journal had an interesting profile of Joe Englert on its cover. Driven by "a sense to make Washington some place more unique" and "the fight to remain different in a world becoming more and more cookie cutter," Englert is grooming a pack of bar owners, trying to attract independent restaurateurs to the H Street strip, lobbying the D.C. government for parking, dreaming up the next off-the-wall idea and ultimately seeking a return on his investment.<snip> Some have compared the H Street entertainment district to Adams Morgan before its nightclub renaissance. "He's a pioneer in a sense of what a lot of bars and restaurants were to Adams Morgan in the early '80s," says Constantine Stavropoulos, who owns popular Adams Morgan bars Tryst and The Diner. "They were the catalysts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 My beer tab at the Cap Lounge over the past 10 years has probably been enough to pay for one of his H Street joints to open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
