Over the course of the coming months, ANC2B will be reviewing the Alcohol licenses for all restaurant licenses within our boundaries. This includes both DR (Beer and Wine) and CR (Spirits, Beer and Wine) licenses across all nine single-member districts.
This is the community’s opportunity to weigh-in and review the establishments located in our neighborhood. As Commissioners, we review each of the establishments to see if they have notable incidents on their ABRA compliance history and gather input from our neighbors as well.
As you can tell, the list below is quite extensive and covers a lot of establishments. It may be difficult for each of us to keep tabs on any issues that may exist with a particular establishment. We strongly suggest that you notify your Commissioner about any issues you may have in advance of our meeting so that your thoughts may be weighed during our consideration of each license.
We will post a new list each month as the renewals come in to us.

Are places like The Improv and The Madhatter not included because they aren’t classified as restaurants? I don’t have a problem with either of them; I was just expecting the list to be longer.
Thanks,

Hi Peter.
You’ve got the right idea. There are two things to consider. One, there are many restaurants that will not be considered until future meetings. The ones in this posting ate just the first wave of renewals. Second, I believe Mad Hatter has a tavern (class T) license and therefore may not be up for renewal this year. Those licenses are considered at a different time but still go through the same scrutiny.
Thanks for your thoughtful questions.

Hey Kevin,
With the 14th and U liquor license moratorium showing itself to be incredibly unpopular, what is the procedure for renewing the moratoriums in Dupont and Adams Morgan? With a newly mobilized population against limiting liquor licenses, I wonder if we can re-assess the moratoriums already passed.
Thanks,
Mike
