Capitol Hill self-pour wine bar Rapport closed indefinitely

The self-pour wine bar Rapport has closed indefinitely on Capitol Hill as of December 29, 2024, due to a personal family decision by its ownership. Despite the closure, there are discussions about potentially negotiating a new lease to reopen the venue. Rapport had become a beloved gathering spot, revitalizing a former Starbucks concept cafe on North Broadway. The community has shown disappointment over the shutdown, highlighting Rapport's role in the local nightlife and social scene. As Capitol Hill businesses navigate the post-pandemic landscape, closures like this underscore the uncertainty many establishments face.

The owners are reportedly exploring options for a return to the vibrant neighborhood, and residents remain hopeful for a resolution that would bring back this unique venue.
