In the last few months several downtown restaurants have had to close their doors due to the continued sluggish economy. With the economy showing signs of a
double-dip rescission, I expect to see a high turnover of dining establishment’s downtown and the metro area in the coming years.
Downtown Restaurant 2011 Closures to date:
Spin Burger Bar - 1020 16th St. – Open eight months
Brew It Up - 14th and H streets - 15 years in business
Table 260 - 826 J Street
Hangar 17 - 17th and S streets – opened 2004
Danielle's Creperie - 901 K Street
Fog Mountain Café - 10th and I Streets
California Pizza Kitchen - 1132 16th St. – Opened May 2009
Good Eats - 3145 Folsom Boulevard
Celestin's Island Eats - 1815 K Street
Red Lotus - 2718 J Street
Garlic Shack - 19th and J streets
L Wine Lounge and Urban Kitchen - 28th and L Streets
On K Street, several businesses have seen tremendous support including Pizza Rock, Dive Bar and District 30. These three entertainment venues received a $5.7 million subsidy form the city to build the
$8 million complex.
