Isaan Thai Classic disappeared in a minute, and the oft-maligned corner space/extension at 3433 Connecticut Avenue, NW is back in the news, with a posted promise of Club Soda Cocktail Lounge BFF Inc, Cafe and Grill. A remnant of the 1980s (and in turn, the 50s & 60s) the former downstairs favorite could deliver some much needed music into the neighborhood, but I wouldn't be surprised to see another middling restaurant trying to cash in on a familiar name with little-to-no other similarities. Here's hoping I'm wrong (but I wouldn't bet on it.) Updates as we get them.
P.S. Wouldn't you want to clean up the front (even a little bit?) Details matter.
