Eatbar closing on Barracks Row Friday; Standby for The Roost Food Hall from NRG coming to Hill East

415 8th Street, SE

Thanks to all who messaged over the weekend. Eatbar announced Friday night:

“It is with great sadness that we share this news: EatBar’s last day of service will be Friday, March 15th. EatBar holds a special place in our hearts (so nice we did it twice!) as it does for so many of you. We hope you will visit us over the next week to say goodbye It has been a pleasure to serve in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Fear not, we have more in store for Red Apron Butcher & Capitol Hill. You’ll be seeing our friendly faces at our other NRG spots in the interim so pls say hi!”

Eatbar opened here back in March 2016. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

Barred in DC notes:

“NRG is focused on opening its multi-concept spot just over a half mile/one metro spot away [Potomac Ave], The Roost, which will feature bars featuring beer and cocktails as well as Red Apron Burger (perhaps sushi, pizza, and tacos as well).”

Thanks to an alert tipster, the latest plans for the @NRGRestaurants The Roost concept in Hill East as submitted to DC include coffee/baked goods, healthy stuff, pizza, Red Apron burgers, tacos, sushi, a white-table cloth restaurant (plus a beer/cocktail bars) h/t @coreyholman pic.twitter.com/z412yyxZgZ
