1819 14th Street, NW
Thanks to Julia for sending: “Sign went up today on the old el centro building!” For those not familiar with the Salazar plans:
“Mission Group, DC-based owners of big bars and restaurants, will add another location to its roster in late 2021 when Salazar, a, 8,000 square-foot three-level venue with four bars levels and a rooftop deck, opens at 1819 14th Street.
The location formerly housed El Centro.
As with other Mission spots, Mission Navy Yard, Mission Dupont, The Admiral and Hawthorne, Salazar will be bar-focused.
Co-owners Fritz Brogan and Reed Landry operate by the theory that “it is more fun to eat in a bar than to drink in a restaurant” so all of their locations feature large bar areas with some dining included.
According to Brogan, Salazar will serve Tex-Mex cuisine with an expansive list of tequilas, margaritas and cocktails. It will feature multiple spaces for private events and groups of all sizes. On weekends and holidays, DJs will spin in the basement dance floor offering a nightlife experience. The cocktail menu will focus on presenting rare and unique tequilas at reasonable prices. Nightly happy hour and bottomless brunch (including tequila and margaritas, of course!) are in the works.”
