A new restaurant that will focus on Oaxacan food and mezcal will join the recently-announced Red Hen/Boundary Stone collaboration at a new apartment development in Shaw. Josh Phillips will be opening the new establishment, Espita Mezcalería, at The Colonel, a 70-unit luxury apartment project at 1250 9th Street NW (map).

The address used to be occupied by the pop-up art gallery Contemporary Wing. Prior to that, it was the event space known as Fight Club.

“As excited as I am to be opening my first mezcaleria, I’m even more excited that it will be a part of Shaw,” said Phillips in a press release. “The first time I saw the space at The Colonel, I knew it was a perfect fit for Espita. I think that this stretch of 9th Street and Blagden Alley will quickly become a top dining destination in DC.”

Espita Mezcaleria will join a new Italian concept, All Purpose, from the owners of The Red Hen and Boundary Stone, as well as a new shop from pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac, owner of Buttercream Bakeshop. All three spaces will be located in the ground-floor retail space on The Colonel.
