1815 Adams Mill Road, NW – There was a time…
Thanks to a reader for sending this morning.
Le Mont Royal closed after three years in Adams Morgan back on January 4th, 2026. Le Mont Royal, “a French-Canadian Disco”, opened here on January 6, 2023.
This space was previously home Southern Hospitality and before them the longtime home of Adams Mill Bar and Grill.
Hopefully the space won’t stay vacant for too long…

BIG NEWS via email response to my query:
“Red Light is not closing. We are relocating!
After nearly two decades at the corner of 14th & R, Red Light has become a staple of the community.

The good news is that we’ve already found our new home on the corner of 14th & Florida. (more…)
