So I just saw the announcement of Violet, a new gay cocktail bar & lounge coming to U Street. It gave me déjà vu. Does anyone recall a DC gay bar with a name like ‘Lilac’ or ‘Lavender’ from maybe 8 or 9 years ago. I may have memory of the name completely wrong, but I think I recall it being a color.

I recall it being open around Pride season of 2017 or 2018. Do not know how long they lasted. Anyone recall or have stories of this bar’s existence? Never heard any mention of it outside of a Pride season one year.
