Compass Rose Is Closing in D.C. | Eater DC
"The Northeast standby for frosty brews and American comfort food since 2014, located near Catholic University, announced it would close for good due to economic pressures. In a closing statement owner John Andrade said, “Ultimately, the rising costs of food, the impact of Initiative 82 [the eradication of D.C.’s “tipped” minimum wage], and the current economic climate in the city made it impossible for us to continue.” The neighborhood spot specialized in burgers, wings, shrimp pasta, and savory brunch options like curry tofu scramble." - Tierney Plumb
