New Restaurant Coming to 913 U St, NW, Next Door Velvet Lounge Applies for Summer Garden

More excitement for the 900 block of U St, NW. Thanks to an eagle eyed reader for noticing the permit that had recently gone up at 913 U St, NW in the old Metro Lab building next to Velvet Lounge. The magic words on the permit: proposed use – Restaurant

More info on the new restaurant when details emerge.

And next door Velvet Lounge has applied for a summer garden permit:

“Request a new Summer Garden seating capacity of 25 seats and a total occupancy load of 134.”

There’s gonna be some good outdoor seating options on this block when Dodge City and Dickson Wine Bar get their outdoor seating as well.
