For it’s short 2 1/2 years of existence, Diego experienced a lot of disputes and departures. Billy McCormick came and went after a very brief stint. Now having closed its doors for good, Social Restaurant Group has now taken over the former Diego space with a brand new concept.
Social Restaurant Group is comprised of Alex Lopez, Mike Bramson and Naeem Mohd. Lopez and Bramson used to work together to run Project DC Events, an events company and have vast experience in marketing and public relations. Mohd is a 12-year hospitality industry veteran owns Mad Rose Tavern in Clarendon.
No word yet on a name for the restaurant but according to Lopez, it will be American communal style cuisine.
Looking forward to seeing the new American communal place on 14th St
