This is the former Brass Monkey, Spaghetti Garden, Roxanne Restaurant, and Peyote Karaoke spaces that closed back in early May.
Looks like a nice roof deck situation:

The following was written by PoPville contributor David McAuley, founder of Short Articles about Long Meetings.

At its regularly-scheduled monthly meeting June 6, Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1C/Adams Morgan heard a proposal to move, expand, and modify its liquor license moratorium zone. The moratorium zone will expire on August 18, 2018, unless DC authorities take action to renew it.

After more than an hour’s discussion, the ANC voted unanimously to send the draft proposal back to its liquor-licensing affairs committee. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My fiancee and I are looking for a rehearsal dinner spot that is close to The Line Hotel in Adams Morgan. We both have large families so the place needs to be able to accommodate up to 90 people. We’re looking for something a little bit more casual so 90 for a seated dinner isn’t a requirement. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We’ve talked to Southern Hospitality and Bourbon but they weren’t really what we wanted menu wise so open to others outside of those two.
Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
Someone stole my cherished cargo bike (Workcycles Kr8) from our garage behind Lanier Pl in Adams Morgan the night of Thursday, May 24. As you can see in the picture, it’s a funny looking wheelbarrow-bike hybrid version of the family van, so I’m hoping someone in the community will see it and alert me (202-556-0665) or the police. I do have Tiles on both the bike and the keys, and got an alert Sunday night that the one for my keys was spotted in DuPont, but by the time we got there, it was gone.

Thanks to Ron for sending. Meg also notes: “Sign up for a veterinary hospital in Ontario 17 (corner of Columbia Rd and 17th St NW) for the empty retail spot right on the corner next to Ace hardware.”
Ed. Note: A good opportunity to check out this awesome shot of the Ontario from 1984.

“any intel on when Zenebech in Adams Morgan will reopen? I miss their sambusas toooo much.”
Unfortunately the latest is from a few weeks ago:
“We are hoping to be open before the start of summer and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”
Zenebech has been closed since December when a fire gutted next door neighbor #1 Juicy-Cajun Seafood, damaging Zenebech. Zenebech Injera had only recently reopened, after moving from Shaw, in August 2017. Updates when they get a firm reopening date.

Unfortunately some sad news out of Adams Morgan. Rosario has closed “effective immediately.” They opened up back in March 2017.
Owner John Andrade says:
“Despite it’s multitude of 4 and 5 star ratings Rosario was just not able to generate enough revenue in the off peak hours to make the concept profitable. We all love this concept dearly but at the end of the day sales are what truly matters. Therefore, I have decided to close doors and prepare to rebrand as a Taqueria, my personal favorite style of food and a concept that I have long wanted to open. After all, who doesn’t like a great margarita? I hope to open within the next few months.”
This is the former Toledo Lounge space (then briefly Libertine.)
