- One Eight Distilling, one of the oldest distilleries in D.C., is closing. Lots of factors contributed to the closure, but co-owner Alex Laufer, who is currently the only employee, says foot traffic in Ivy City has dropped dramatically since the pandemic, from about 200 to 300 people on a Saturday to just six last week. Their District Made brand of liquors will be available through March 31. [Washingtonian]
- Take advantage of this once-every-four-years extra day with some Leap Day deals. Atlas Brew Works is offering 29 percent off all tabs at its Navy Yard and Ivy City locations, and Pinstripes in Georgetown is offering $2.29 bowling and $2.29 wines and beers. [Axios]
- Martin’s Tavern, that very old and very mediocre spot in Georgetown, will be closed until March 12 while they renovate the kitchen, redo the floor, and complete other repairs. [Georgetowner]
