RedRocks on H Street

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board approved a request from the licensee to place Touché's (1123 H St.) license in safekeeping through the end of March of 2017, which means the business can continue to operate, but they cannot serve alcohol. As of of yesterday afternoon they were promoting an event for this Sunday called Cranktoberfest that is to feature a live performance by the popular go-go band Rare Essence.

Review Application for Safekeeping of License - Original Request. ANC 6A. SMD 6A02.
Touche, 1123 H Street NE, Retailer CT, License No. 096779.
Decision: Approved through March 31, 2017, 5-0.

In other notable ABRA news, H &pizza (1118 H St.) will have to pay a fine for running afoul of their Settlement Agreement. This apparently relates to some issues with their dumpster.
