“A New Chapter Begins: Bramble & Rye Opening This September @ 84 T Street NW.

After several memorable years serving the Bloomingdale community, établi will close its doors in August 2026, ahead of its previously announced December timeline, to begin an exciting new chapter. Co-Owners Kathleen Davis and Thomas Boisvert have partnered with Bloomingdale residents and Co-Owners Chef Jeremiah Brooks and Anthony Brooks to reimagine the space as <strong>Bramble & Rye, a neighborhood-focused restaurant and gathering place set to open in mid-September 2026.

The current établi space will temporarily close for a comprehensive refresh and rebranding, creating a new dining experience while maintaining the welcoming spirit that has made the restaurant a fixture in the community.

As part of the transition, the beloved établi Wine Club will carry on at Bramble & Rye, continuing its tradition of monthly gatherings celebrating exceptional wines that showcase a story, place and time. The Wine Club offers longtime guests a familiar touchpoint as they welcome Bramble & Rye into the neighborhood.

“We are incredibly grateful to our guests, neighbors, and friends who have supported établi over the years,” said the ownership team. “Bloomingdale has always been at the heart of what we do, and we’re excited to build on that foundation with Bramble & Rye. This partnership brings together a shared commitment to hospitality, great food, and creating a space where the community can come together.”

The new concept will reflect the culinary vision of Chef Jeremiah Brooks and husband Anthony Brooks while honoring the relationships and neighborhood spirit that have defined établi’s success.

More details about Bramble & Rye, including its opening date, menu offerings, and établi Wine Club programming, will be announced in the coming weeks.

The team looks forward to welcoming both longtime guests and new neighbors through the doors of Bramble & Rye this fall.”
