All is not lost!! A&D had planned on closing in April but fortunes are looking up! Got this note from the owners yesterday:
“As a gesture of good will we are going to give A&D Bar a new two year lease.”
If you will it…
Shaw
926 N Street, NW
Despite the recent demise of Chao Ku, Piassa, Table, Shaw Bistro and A&D in April – all is not lost for 9th Street. A reader reports this great update:
“The Union Kitchen Market (SE corner of 9/N) is now open, the place that’s going into the old Rogue 24 location (next to La Colombe) looks like it’s close to being done Ed. Note: Monkey King and there’s the bakery (pictured above) at 926 N.”
Seylou Bakery & Mill’s website says:
“opening late Summer 2017
A Whole grain bakery
We specialize in
100% whole grain
freshly milled artisan breads

Nice! Thanks to Tom for the heads up about Rito Loco’s roof deck plans.. Bloomingdame told us on Friday: “They got a grant but still need BZA approval. Case next week.”
Looks like they’ll be ready by spring if the BZA goes through. And don’t forget they have a liquor license now, I think that went through, or at least it should by spring as well. Stay tuned:
On January 9th I posted that Chao Ku was for sale. I don’t know the details but they’ve now closed. So the curse remains despite some initial denials. On Friday City Paper reported:
“It made sense just to let it go. The road was too long,” says owner John Fielding. “We just never got the foot traffic to make it work, and we spent so much money on the buildout.”
1414 9th Street, NW is now the former home to Vegetate, Cafe Eagle, Taqueria Mexicana, Eagle (again), Northern Restaurant and Secret Lounge and Sports Bar and Chao Ku.
Thanks to all who emailed.

A&D opened up back in December 2012.
Ed. Note: Next door neighbor Season Pantry closed last year. Later than expected but Sushi from the owner of Sushi Capitol and Sushi Ogawa will be taking over that space.
Updates when we learn who eventually takes over the space and if a new location is found for A&D:

From a press release:
“Après Ski DC
La Jambe, Shaw’s only French wine bar
1550 7th Street, NW
Tuesday, February 7th, 2017 – Sunday, February 26, 2017
In keeping with French tradition co-owners David Bloom and Anastasia Mori bring you Après Ski.
“a·près-ski: the social activities and entertainment following a day’s skiing.”
Bloom’s vision was to create a seasonal event focused on something other than the holidays. Après Ski translates to “After Ski”.
La Jambe will be transformed into a winter wonderland equipt with all the coziness and warmth you’d long for after a day on the slopes. In addition to their regular menu they will also be offering a special menu featuring raclette which is a dish comprised of three types of charcuterie and a boiled potato smothered with melted cheese.
