Yesterday we learned that after 7 years this would be Drafting Table’s last week in Logan Circle.
Bisnow got the goods on who will replace them:
“Vin Sur Vingt signed a 2,200 SF lease at 1529 14th St. NW, where it will replace Drafting Table in the ground floor of an apartment building.”
The article also says the wine bar is “looking at areas from Mount Vernon Triangle to The Wharf to Bethesda.”
Vin Sur Vingt’s website says:
“Established 2011, Vin Sur Vingt (“VSV”) Wine Bar, a play on “Vingt / Vingt”, is your neighborhood wine bar with five locations throughout New York City – West Village, NoMad, Plaza Hotel, Upper West Side and newly opened, Tribeca. Partner and operator, Sébastien Auvet is among a new breed of wine lovers whose focus is on simplicity, authenticity, and value. The menu includes an extensive list continuously rotating of 250 wines – 50 wines by the glass – coupled with a light French fare menu. (more…)

There had been rumors for so long but, wow. OK. Thanks to John for sending.
Drafting Table opened here back in 2012 (in the former ACKC space, remember those guys?) (more…)
