Forget everything you thought you knew about Acre 121. The longtime Columbia Heights bar/restaurant/music venue recently unveiled a ridiculously scrumptious new food and cocktail menu worth every last calorie. (Trust us.) From Cognac cocktails to veggie flatbread with seared okra — this place is so much more than beer and low country BBQ. Don’t believe me? Stop by Acre 121 from October 21-25 for a tasting FEAST and sample three new entrees for just $35.
