A fan (of the music? the drinks?) writes in to let everyone know about a show at Que Pasa this Saturday:

I wanted to let you and other readers know that James (the very popular bartender at Patrick Henry’s and member of “River City High”) is performing a show at Que Pasa this coming Saturday at 9pm. “New Project” and special guest Tim Buckley (of Maki) will also be performing. Thought folks in the neighborhood might want to come out and support James in other ways than just drinking his libations.

Premier of this new group, featuring the voices of Rei Alvarez and Laura Anne Singh! Members of Bio Ritmo & Quatro Na Bossa, plus Rattan DJ spins records. Bolero music by the great Puerto Rican composer Sylvia Rexach, other great composers, + a few bossa novas. $5 @ Que Pasa 9PM-Midnight, Saturday April 4, 2009.

Que Pasa is finding is neighborhood niche as great hangout spot good for dinner and drinks, and they have been trying to spread the word about their specials: Monday is Dollar Burger Night; Tuesday is 20 Cent Wings Night/Nurses Night, with $2 domestics and $2 well drinks; Wednesday is Dollar Taco Night; Thursday offers 1/2 price bottles of wine and 1/2 price deserts; and Saturday rounds out the week with live music. Come on out to 25th Street and check’em out!

Still lament the passing of the coffee shop on Jefferson Avenue? Keep your eyes open for the grande opening of the Cabana at Que Pasa, slated to open Monday at 6AM. Still the same restaurant open for dinner-only through the week, a new coffee shop will be using in the same space as Que Pasa at 25th and M Streets during the day.

The J.O.B. (The Jim O’Ferrell Band) will be playing this Saturday, Feb 21 @ 9PM at Que Pasa (25th and M Street).

Sit down with Partnership for Smarter Growth tonight between 5-10PM at Que Pasa (623 North 25th Street). Meet other citizens concerned with patterns of growth in the Richmond region, enjoy delicious and affordable Puerto Rican and South American food, and be part of Church Hill’s exciting revitalization.

Que Pasa gets reviewed both in today’s RTD and on richmond.com. The RTD piece isn’t positive and says that Que Pasa “has much more potential than is currently realized”. In contrast,richmond.com’s take ends with “while Church Hill residents may want to keep this charming Latin American bistro to themselves, it’s worthy of becoming a destination for all Richmond diners.”

It looks like Que Pasa now has a liquor license!

Style Weekly has a piece on Que Pasa which looks at the food (“real slow-cooked goodness”) and the different hurdles that the restaurant has had to overcome to even open the doors. In other news, a sign that reads “Patrick Henry Grill and Pub coming soon” has sprouted on the location formerly known as Acapella.

Two things on this MLK Holiday: Que Pasa should be opening (@M and 25th Streets), and there is a meeting about the proposed development at Cedar and Broad (7PM @ American Tobacco Center community room).
