We now have a new option on Georgia Avenue, and it has an interesting twist: CBD cocktails. CBD is derived from cannabis but doesn’t have the psychoactive effects of THC, the other main part of cannabis. It’s more of a relaxing feeling and is federally legal.
Mr. Braxton is already open, which is nice to see after the space set empty for a while.
The spot was briefly Marrakech Moroccan restaurant, which closed after a month or two. It has also previously been Blue Banana, Park View Patio and Walter’s Sports Bar. One of the problems before was that they didn’t have a full kitchen, and Park View DC reports that Marrakech added one.
Washingtonian has an article about Mr. Braxton, here’s how they describe it:
The newest addition to Park View, Mr. Braxton, will have a little bit of everything: Burgers. Paella. Taco Tuesdays. After it’s up and running in early June, you’ll be able to drink CBD cocktails and enjoy the occasional live music in a lounge area, or head out to the colorful, greenery-covered back patio for a local brew.
Other dishes include watermelon soup, rack of lamb, tacos, mussels and more. The name comes from owners Shannon Cunningham and Booker Parchment’s son Braxton. Cunningham formerly was manager of Brick Lane in Dupont, and Parchment is a businessman.
