Cafe Pettirosso List
First Cafe Presse List , now this: The longtime Capitol Hill gem Cafe Pettirosso, owned by sisters Miki and Yuki Sodos, is shutting down permanently on February 6 after 27 years of business. An announcement from the business read, "We would have stayed forever but are exhausted and frustrated on all fronts. We stayed open every day during the pandemic, the protests, snow storms, years of construction, and gentrification, but it is now our time. The thought of having to keep fighting through Covid only to go straight into having to pay for yet another build-out of Café Pettirosso after the building is slated to be gutted in the near future, and then straight into a massive raise in the rent, is too much."

Peddler Brewing Company List
This beloved brewery announced this week that it will close permanently this spring due to owners Dave and Haley Keller moving to Arizona. They also announced that another brewery will be taking over the space but have not yet revealed which one.

Lunar New Year at Lucky Envelope Brewing Past Event List

As they've made a welcome habit of doing, they'll release some new beers for the holiday, including the Mijiaya Historic Chinese Beer and Lychee Thai Basil Sour on draft, plus a Water Tiger Cold IPA collaboration with Highland Brewing and more. Other festivities include red envelope giveaways, daily food truck appearances, and Water Tiger merch.
