6th and H Street, NW
Thanks to Tommy for sending word. Beef n Bread opened back in September 2015 (anyone remember the old video store?). Hopefully The Washington Post’s Tim Carman is doing OK.

Updates as the new spot gets closer to opening.
For those not familiar, Iron Gate 2.0 is one of the best restaurants in D.C.
