Update from Twitter: “Believe it is going to be the Dupont location of Brine, the oyster bar on H St.”
I walked by last weekend and the space was getting completely cleaned up. In December 2021, before the invasion of Ukraine, we heard “Here’s what’s up (we, Brine Oyster Bar, share the same owners as Russia House!):
