Dear PoPville

“Have you heard anything about Sakerum on 14th closing permanently?”


2204 14th Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Have you heard anything about Sakerum on 14th closing permanently? Their phone number and website no longer seem to exist, and I don’t think they’ve been open in any capacity since this all started. I certainly hope they aren’t gone for good.”

In April another reader sent:

“A group of people have been bringing tables and chairs and other items out of SakeRum for the last 30 minutes and loading them into a truck. Maybe the restaurant just has a lot of excess furniture they are using this hiatus to clear out, or perhaps a more ominous sign? Obviously I hope for the former.”

Updates as more is known but not looking good.
