Thursday night’s fire on Barracks Row heavily damaged three buildings:

725 8th Street where Jackson Hewitt Tax Services and Cask & Barrel Wine and Spirit operated.

723 and 723 1/2 8th Street, formerly the home of The Ugly Mug and Valor.

721 8th – where She Loves Me Flower Shop had operated until recently.

In addition, Howl To The Chief at 719 8th may have suffered fire damage but only the smashed glass door – presumably by firefighters needing access – indicated they were affected.

Other nearby buildings including Rose’s Luxury and Meil Wellness appeared undamaged.

Here are some early morning photos of the scene.

Fire on Barracks Row

Thursday evening, DC Fire and EMS reported on X that they were fighting a fire which had broken out on the 700 block of Barracks Row. It was described as “Fire on secondfloor of mixed use structure with extension to adjacent buildings.” The Fire Department said that no injuries had been reported as they began attempts to control the fire, though WJLA reported later that one firefighter received non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital.

The blog Barred DC reported on X that the burning building was The Ugly Mug. Another poster sait it was a liquor store – presumeably the adjacent Cask & Barrel Wine & Spirit.

CM Charles Allen said later on X, “I am just leaving the scene on Barracks Row & tonight’s massive fire. I’ve spoken with several of the businesses. Everyone is accounted for but (there was) extreme damage to multiple buildings….

Later, Assistant Fire Chief Kishia Clemenci held a press availability and said that the fire had originated in 723 8th Street, SE, (the address of The Ugly Mug). The fire was reported at 8:07pm and reponders were on the scene at 8:09pm. Sixteen units and 100 firefighters participated. Cause of the fire has not yet been determined but it was not weather related, according to Clemenci.

The Ugly Mug closed in October of 2025. Brian Ready, Executive Director of Barracks Row Main Street, has said recently that the building had been sold and the new owners were planning to open a restaurant.

Here are some additional phtotos taken by Bob Gellman.

According to DC Fire Department, the fire started in 723 & 7231/2 8th Street – the former Ugly Mug. Photo: Google Maps.

Llamas’ Corner, the Baltimore-based café is open in DC at 705 8th Street, SE.  Here’s a photo inside.  Monday–Friday: 7:30am – 6:00pm.  Saturday–Sunday: 9:00am – 4:00pm.

Vandalism of Loveful Hands Sculpture at Eastern Market Metro Plaza.  Last week, Loveful Hands by Jay Coleman suffered damage from of what appears to be epoxy paint randomly drippled onto the sculpture.  Here’s an image of the top.

It appears that attempts to remove dribbles on the north side of the sculpture while the paint was still wet left smudges on the bronze.

Last Wednesday, the Potomac and Pennsylvania Intersection actually became a traffic circle.  The construction is mostly done with the sidewalks around the outside of the circle. 

ANC6B Commissioner Karen Hughes told ANC6B’s Transportation Committee that the launching of the on-line project to name the circle is almost ready to go.

Wingstop Update.  Here’s a photo of the interior of the proposed Wingstop Carryout on Barracts Row, much as the previous tenant left it.  ANC6B’s Planning and Zoning Committee chaired by Commissioner Vince Marino met last Wednesday to finalize a conditional agreement between some neighbors and Wingstop/Emerald Wings, that would clear the way for the full ANC vote on supporting the carryout’s application for a fast food exception so they could open on Barracks Row.  Agreement was reached at the committee level for operating hours for the carryout:  Sunday – Thursday, close at midnight.  Friday & Saturday, walk-in service will close at 1:00am – on-line service available until 2:00am.  Marino noted that there is still a contingent of neighbors who oppose any use of this property to sell food.  The full ANC will consider the committee’s recommendation to support the agreement and an exception at its meeting Tuesday night, June 9.  The Board of Zoning Adjustment will hold a public hearing on June 17 at 9:30am.  Visit https://app.dcoz.dc.gov/Home/Calendar for details.

Saturday, Rural Dog Rescue hosted an adoption event at Howl to the Chief at 719 8^th Street Barracks Row.  The organization features dogs which are currently up for adoption and hosts the event at Howl the Chief once or twice a month.  They host adoption events at Howl to the Chief, Steadfast Supply, City-State Brewing Company, and elsewhere around Washington, D.C.  Go here for a calendar of events:  https://ruraldogrescue.com/event-calendar/

Proper Exotic’s outlet at 313 8th Street, NE.

Proper Exotic Weed Closes Shop

by Larry Janezich

Posted June 7, 2026

According to Commissioner Jay Adelstein, ANC6C03, Proper Exotic, trading as True Nature Dispensary at 313 8^th Street, NE, is going out of business.  Adelstein said the property owner’s real estate broker had informed him of the property’s status as of yesterday morning. 

The dispensary opened earlier this year after months of opposition from ANC6A and ANC6B as well as nearby neighbors.  ABCA dismissed every entity protesting Proper Exotic application for a retail cannabis license, including the ANCs and a letter of opposition from council member Charles Allen.

The owners of Hunny Bunny boutique Elizabeth Cronan and Jon Bormet felt forced to closer their brick and mortar business 311 8th Street, NE, because Proper Exotic opened next door.  The company manufactures and retailer s all-natural bath and beauty products.  The company has since moved to an on-line operation. 

There is widespread resident opposition to the negative effects on communities brought by ABCA licensing weed shops in areas householders deem inappropriate.   Other recent examples on Capitol Hill include Aloha at 528 Eighth Street SE (currently under investigation by ABCA as reported by CHC) and Garden Hill at 1322 G Street SE (which has not opened yet). 

Regarding the closure, Adelstein commented:  “Just as we all thought – terrible location.”

New Coffee/Boba Café Set to Open on Barracks Row

by Larry Janezich

Posted June 3, 2026

Llamas’ Corner, the Baltimore-based café is set to open in DC at 705 8^th Street, SE, in the space formerly occupied by Souk.  Their Instagram page says they will open Saturday, June 6.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DY5g2vSEZZj/

This feels a bit like the return of the café society which has been in decline in recent years on Capitol Hill; this is the latest “third space” to open on Barracks Row, joining As You Are and CIVIC on 8th as hubs where the community gathers for conversation, community building, and exchanging ideas.

From their website: 

“We’re passionate about llamas and their ability to bring joy and inspiration to everyone they encounter, which is why we’ve incorporated them into our shop’s decor and menu.

At Llamas’ Corner, we’re also dedicated to sustainability and healthy options. That’s why we only source organic, fair-trade, and chemical-free premium coffee beans, ensuring that each cup of coffee is not only delicious but also ethically sourced. We also offer a variety of healthy breakfast and lunch options that are made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.”

Their menu will feature coffee, Boba tea, paninis, and pastries.

Sunday afternoon, signs on the doors of Trader Joe’s announced the store is having electrical issues and is closed until further notice. 

Albert’s Liquor at 328 Kentucky Avenue, SE, was on the market in late 2025, but is currently off market with apparently no interest from potential buyers, despite price drops. 

A couple of years ago, community volunteers cleaned up the triangle park adjacent to Albert’s Liquor kitty corner from Safeway, but it has since become a messy eyesore.  According to ANC6B Parks and Public Space Taskforce, CM Charles Allen has provided funding to refurbish the park and the Taskforce will discuss how to support the effort at its Monday night meeting – see below. 

This spring, DC Department of health is launching a three pronged approach using baiting, tracking powder, and fertility suppressant to target the rodent population.  According to DC Health, in FY 2025 the Rodent and Vector Control team conducted approximately 35,000 rodent abatements.  The data shows that approximately 37% of rodent activity is concentrated in 6 zip codes.

The renovation of SE Library is beginning to have a finished appearance.  Here’s a photo of the south side of the SE Library looking NW.

Here’s Joel and Pearl Bailes and the Capitol Hillbillies – a group they founded in 1983 – at Eastern Market on Sunday afternoon.  The Capitol Hillbillies (and others) make up theCapitol Hill Cajun Orchestra which hosts the next Cajun Dance on Capitol Hill, Tuesday night, June 2, 7:30 to 9:30pm, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 301 A Street, SE.  All ages welcome.  Free admission.
