Capitol Hill Starbucks Might Get Booze Next Week

Beer and wine could arrive at a Capitol Hill Starbucks as soon as next week, a representative of the coffee chain told Hill Now.

The Seattle-based coffee purveyor is targeting the week of April 11 to roll out its “Starbucks Evenings” service with alcohol and small plates at its 237 Pennsylvania Ave. SE store.

In addition to the shareable snacks, the program will feature “craft beer,” along with red, white and sparkling wines by the bottle and glass, according to a sample menu.

But food and drinks vary by region, meaning it’s possible the stores could serve local beer and wine. Small plate possibilities include truffle mac and cheese, bacon-wrapped dates, chicken skewers and truffle popcorn.
