A slew of longtime establishments on the 14th Street NW corridor have closed or announced their impending closures in the past two weeks, and a majority of them will be replaced by out-of-town restaurants.

The neighborhood, which was gutted by the 1968 riots, has experienced a flurry of development over the past two decades, turning it into a nightlife hotspot replete with accolade-winning restaurants. According to Washingtonian, the average rent per square foot has just about doubled from $40 a decade ago to $75-$90 now. And that jump in cost, along with an increase in competition, has had consequences for many of the businesses lining the strip.

This recent wave of closures follows a season of transition for the corridor. Black Cat, the music venue that’s anchored 14th Street for a quarter of a century, announced it was closing its downstairs space, including a music venue and bar, last fall. Home Rule, a home goods store just across the street, announced it was shuttering in March, after 20 years in business.

Here’s a rundown of the most recent closures and what will be replacing them:

• Drafting Table: This gastropub, which opened in 2012, served its last brew over the weekend. “We had a good run,” owner Aaron Gordon, who also runs 14th Street Corridor bar Red Light up the street, told Eater. “Unfortunately, the saturation on 14th Street and the D.C. restaurant market in general caught up to us.” Gordon told Washingtonian that its financial woes were coupled with ongoing issues with the condominium residents who lived above Drafting Table. (On a few occasions, the upstairs neighbors had cut the satellite feed in the middle of a football game and World Cup match.) Replacing the casual eatery will be Vin Sur Vingt, a wine bar company from New York City making its first foray out of the Big Apple, reports Bisnow.
• Masa 14: After 10 years slinging Latin-Asian cuisine, this Richard Sandoval Hospitality-helmed spot announced this week that it would be closing its doors by August “to focus their efforts on their core casual and modern Mexican concepts while exploring new opportunities and venues within the D.C. metro area,” per a statement. Washington Business Journal notes that the closure lines up with the likely expiration of a 10-year lease. Atlanta restaurant group Southern Proper Hospitality is opening a small plates-focused restaurant called Gypsy Kitchen, WBJ reports.
• Policy Lounge: Months after celebrating a decade in business, Policy announced on Facebook that it would be closing on June 22. “We’ve seen the 14th street corridor transform into one of the most beloved neighborhoods in our Nation’s capital and are humbled to have been a small part of this evolution,” the Facebook post reads. A replacement for the bar and brunch spot has not yet been announced.
