Bark Social, the first dog bar in the Mid-Atlantic region, is one step closer to arriving after securing its liquor license and final permits before constructing the building.

Little Miner Taco is opening a new stall at The Block in Pike & Rose! We stopped by today for a soft opening event to check out some of what they’re planning to offer.  Their grand opening is tomorrow, July 15 at 2 PM– they have announced that the first 100 customers will get a free T-Shirt!

Little Miner Taco currently has a location in Brentwood, MD as well as a traveling truck that hosts pop up events all around the DMV. Little Miner is best known for their Birria De Res Quesadillas which have braised beef and cheese along with a signature beef consome dipping sauce. These  will appear at their location at The Block, along with a variety of exclusive new items.


Per a press release by Federal Realty, Bark Social, the first “dog bar” in the Mid-Atlantic region, is coming to Pike & Rose!  According to the plans for Bark Social, there will be a professionally monitored off-leash dog park in addition to a space with a craft beer and coffee bar.  Bark Social will be open year round, as the space will be indoor/outdoor.

Bark Social plans to open in September and will be located at 935 Prose Street, which is adjacent to Rose Park and next to Julii and Jinya.


PR at Partners hair salon announced that their Pike & Rose location is closing permanently. In an email that was sent out to their clients, they stated that they are closing due to the “health and financial crisis” that COVID-19 has created.

They plan to keep their Reston VA and Mazza Gallerie (Friendship Heights) locations open.


The Beach at Pike & Rose has a new addition– a sign stating that there are plans for it to be demolished. This may come as a surprise to many, but the intention was for The Beach to be temporary.  It was constructed right before Summer of 2018 and was only supposed to last until Labor Day of that year.  Due to popular demand, the beach was kept open much longer.

We are told that even though The Beach is disappearing, something equally fun and entertaining will replace it. We don’t have any official word on its replacement just yet.


Mynd Spa, formerly known as the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa, has informed all employees that they are laid off and is closing all 25+ locations across the country.
