822 H Street, NE – entrance on 9th Street

“Dear PoPville,

Just wondering: for the last few weeks, each time I’ve walked by Chupacabra (9th St NE between H and I) – whether early afternoon or evening, it’s been closed. Has it closed down? I didn’t check storefront for a sign, I must admit.”

Yup, there’s a sign out front saying they’ll reopen in March. It’s likely due to the weather turning cold and most of the seating being outdoors. Kinda like how Standard/Garden District closes for winter at 14th and S St, NW.
