The Early Word on The Prospect on U Street

The team behind Provision No. 14 opened The Prospect last month on U Street. The walls inside the former Ulah Bistro space are now lined with bowling pins and covered in posters and TV screens. But it's not just an average sports bar— instead of beer, they specialize in cider. The menu offers elevated stadium fare like homemade Cracker Jacks, chicken tenders and goat nachos.

The vast bar with two floors is becoming a favorite among football fans. It already has 28 Yelp reviews with an overall rating of four stars. Read on for the early word on The Prospect:
