If DC gentlemen are sick of following their girlfriends around Georgetown, the The Shay just might be a good Saturday-spent-shopping compromise. The Shay’s Compass Coffee will give them a boost before diving into the stores, and the collection of menswear offerings–from Read Wall to Frank & Oak to Chrome Industries to Steven Alan–turns the retail focus to the guys.
And just in time for the holidays, The Tie Bar has set up a pop-up shop at The Shay that gives men (or those shopping for gifts) one more reason to visit the new development. The Chicago-based men’s accessories shop markets everything from ties to pocket squares to scarves, and their DC pop-up will remain open throughout the holidays–a trial run before the brand commits to opening a permanent brick and mortar in the area.
Visit The Tie Bar’s set up at 1933 9th St., NW, and take a peek at the pop-up below.
