Openings & closings

From liquor licenses

Opened: new licenses

None since we started tracking on October 31, 2026. A new liquor license usually means a new restaurant, bar or shop; it shows here the night it appears in DC's list.

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