Free food and drink at the grand opening of Cleveland Park's Uptown Tap House Sept. Cleveland Park has been warily awaiting the opening of the Uptown Tap House , the replacement for the much-loved Ireland's Four Provinces/Ireland's Four Fields. The newcomer is owned and operated by the same group that runs McFadden's and Sign of the Whale - two rowdy-ish bars that the neighbors wouldn't exactly welcome on the Connecticut Avenue strip. (For their part, the owners told the Cleveland Park Citizens Association that they're going to open an "upscale gastro pub" that won't target McFadden's college-age clientele. You can read more back-and-forth in the Cleveland Park Listserv archives, though a login is required.) Neighbors and the general public can find out for themselves next week when the Uptown Tap House finally makes its debut. There are grand opening previews Thursday through Sept. 15 with free drinks, free hors d'oeuvres, a half-price raw bar and half-price wine. All you have to do is RSVP, though space is limited.
