Openings & closings

From liquor licenses

Opened: new licenses

None since we started tracking on October 31, 2026. A new liquor license usually means a new restaurant, bar or shop; it shows here the night it appears in DC's list.

Gone: licenses cancelled

  • Kitchen Savages · 1211 Good Hope Road SE
    Caterer · cancelled before October 31, 2026
  • King Convenience Store · 1535 U Street SE
    Retail - Grocery · cancelled before October 31, 2026

A cancelled license usually means the place closed, but not always: it can also mean an ownership change. Places that got a new license at the same address under a similar name are left out. 8 liquor licenses are active in Anacostia now.

A story counts when its headline, summary or tags mention Anacostia or a landmark in it. We read each outlet's public feed, only where its robots.txt allows, and keep the headline, outlet, date and link; never the article. Stories stay listed for 6 months.

Where the events come from

Only calendars that publish listings for computers to read are included, so some events are missing; the "Also check" links cover the rest. Know a public calendar that should be here? Tell us.
