Another District establishment is feeling the impact of the government shutdown that is now dragging into a third week. Henceforth, a brewpub on the H Street Northeast corridor in D.C., has made the decision to cut back its hours of operation because of diminishing business.
In a post on Instagram, the pub said, “Like many small businesses across the city, we’re feeling the combined impact of the federal law enforcement and ICE surge in D.C., the ongoing federal government shutdown, and the resulting drop in local business activity.”
Starting immediately, the restaurant would be opening one hour later on Monday and Tuesday, five hours later Wednesday through Sunday and closing “several hours later” on Sunday.
Co-owner Mike Spinello blamed the lack of customers on the continuing shutdown and other factors.
“Between the law enforcement surge and the ICE patrols on the street, there was just a presence in the city that we’re not accustomed to in this country,” Spinello told WTOP, adding that his customers just aren’t coming out right now.
