H Street Eatery Liberty Tree Is Closing

Atlas District mainstay the Liberty Tree is scheduled to pour its last drink by Halloween.

The neighborhood restaurant widely known for its Brussels sprouts has been sold, according to a message blasted out on social media by the owners.

Here’s the explanatory tweet from management:

In a subsequent exchange online, management floated the possibility of reviving some of the most popular menu items at Hamilton’s Bar & Grill, a sports bar operating in the shadow of the Department of Labor. Details on that potential transfer remain scarce, including whether Liberty Tree’s well-known burger will live on. The cozy New England-style eatery also drew crowds for its half-priced pizza specials.

Liberty Tree was one of the first bars to plant a flag in the area, arriving on H Street NE in March 2010. The pioneer is not the only restaurant from its era to undergo changes as of late; Kitty’s Saloon just shuttered, and the owner of the Queen Vic recently took the reins at Granville Moore’s.
