BOUNDARY STONE boundarystonedc.com Named after the forty stones placed as mile markers that formed the original diamond shape of the District, Boundary Stone Public House opened its doors at 116 Rhode Island Avenue NW in 2011. Business partners Gareth Croke and Colin McDonough, both Bloomingdale residents, envisioned a true neighborhood pub with a welcoming environment where people can enjoy food, drink, and the simple pleasures of music and good company. A family endeavor, their brothers Matt Croke and Peter McDonough, as well as Gareth’s dad, Bill Croke, are involved with the pub. “The motivation for opening Boundary Stone in Bloomingdale was to provide a gathering place for our neighbors.” —Gareth Croke, Partner, Boundary Stone ISSUE NO. 5 31
