Update from CINDER: “We’re hopeful we can continue those negations and find a path forward that lets us continue serving this community we love so much.” – “Cinder BBQ being evicted?” Fingers Crossed They Work This Out!!

800 Upshur Street, NW

Update from CINDER:

“This came out of nowhere. We had been in active dialogue with the landlord to sort out payments owed to both parties – including back rent from the previous tenant which we are indemnified from, money owed to us from the numerous times the landlord failed to pay the building’s water bill and we had to close, as well as reduced rent during Covid.

Ed. Note: Cinder is beloved in Petworth, and beyond. Really hope they can work this out.
