Union Drinkery, a neighborhood bar by A&D and SUNdeVICH owner Ali Bagheri, will close on April 27. A new wine shop and bar called Saint Vincent will take its place in the fall, according to the Washington City Paper.

Union Drinkery isn’t even three years old—it opened up in fall of 2016 in a spot that used to be a dollar store, then sat vacant for years. The philosophy behind the place was simple: “No bullshit, no themes,” Bagheri told Washingtonian shortly after the place opened up. “I hate themes.”

This approach is pretty obvious as soon as you step inside. There are no frills, but there are reasonably-priced drinks, SUNdeVICh sandwiches, giant Jenga, and a huge outdoor space. The building was originally a rowhouse, which you can clearly see from the maze of rooms upstairs where patrons can wander and get some space to themselves. There is very little decoration and the tables inside are always slightly askew. This is what gives Union Drinkery its charm.

“We came in right at the time that we thought this neighborhood was settling down from the gentrification. And it had to a degree, but it kind of re-gentrified, more people kind of moved in,” says Daniel Raycrow, Union Drinkery’s general manager. “And with new people moving in, who are really new to the entire city itself, they travel to the hot spots more than their own neighborhood.”

Raycrow says lots of the newcomers also took to frequenting spots like The Midlands nearby, where it’s more common for large groups to sit and hang out for hours (the co-owner of The Midlands, Peyton Sherwood, will be a co-owner of Saint Vincent). “Being a quiet spot like us, people just didn’t really know about us,” Raycrow says. “We just didn’t catch the traction that we wanted to. That’s just how it goes sometimes.”

Park View has seen a flush of change in recent years, as new businesses have been popping up all over Georgia Avenue NW. Colony Club, Sonny’s Pizza, Call Your Mother, and The Midlands all look new enough to smell paint.

Raycrow started managing Union Drinkery in October, trying to turn the place into a “true neighborhood bar,” he says. He’s been working with Bagheri since 2015. “I think it worked,” he says of his efforts. “But we just ran out of time.”

Saint Vincent, a bar and wine shop with a large back garden, will be helmed by Peyton Sherwood—formerly of Kangaroo Boxing Club in Columbia Heights—and Fred Uku, according to the City Paper. Uku is currently the bartender at The Red Hen, but has been bartending in D.C. for 12 years. The new establishment is inspired by New Orleans mainstay Bacchanal Wine: You can step inside, buy a bottle, and go sit at one of the many tables in the back. There’s no wait service back there—it’s meant to be a relaxing outdoor space where customers can lounge for a while with a drink. There will also be a more traditional bar upstairs, serving cocktails, wines by the glass, and charcuterie plates and other light food, reports City Paper.

Raycrow says Union Drinkery’s closure isn’t the end for Bagheri’s new bar ventures. Right now, Bagheri is focusing on expanding SUNdeVICH, Raycrow says, though he can’t say too much about when or where a new location might be coming.

After that, he says, they may take what they learned at Union Drinkery and open up yet another bar somewhere in D.C.
