The 15 Saddest Bar and Restaurant Closings in D.C. in 2019 - Eater DC
"Dupont Circle’s vital gay bar abruptly closed this spring. Owner Eric Little cited the sale of the building to developers, the rise of dating apps, and 'a slow decline in sales' as factors in the decision to shut down the multi-part business that housed a dance floor, the Level One restaurant, and the 30degrees lounge at 1639 R Street NW. Meanwhile, Capitol Hill lost its sole gay bar this spring with the shutter of short-lived Orchid." - Tierney Plumb
