Openings & closings

From liquor licenses

Opened: new licenses

None since we started tracking on November 3, 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

  • T & D Entertainment · 5215 Georgia Avenue NW
    Caterer · cancelled before November 3, 2026
  • Rainbow Market Beer & Wine Grocery Market · 626 Kennedy Street NW
    Retail - Full Service Grocery · cancelled before November 3, 2026
  • Mariachi Lounge · 5217 Georgia Avenue NW
    Restaurant · cancelled before November 3, 2026
  • Golden Flour · 441 Kennedy Street NW
    Tavern · cancelled before November 3, 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. 40 liquor licenses are active in Brightwood now.

A story counts when its headline, summary or tags mention Brightwood 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.
