PoP: Costa Brava coming to 1837 1st St NW, next door to Rustik Tavern

See this report from the Prince of Petworth:

Costa Brava, Spanish Tapas Restaurant, Coming to Bloomingdale

Back in May 2012 I shared some scuttlebutt that a Spanish tapas restaurant was coming to the vacant space in the yellow building next to Rustik at 1837 1st St, NW. Ed. Note: Across the street, 1822 1st St, NW will become an Italian-influenced American restaurant. [Red Hen]
       
Turns out the scuttlebutt was accurate about the Spanish tapas restaurant. It will be called Costa Brava and the liquor license application posted out front says:
                     
“Restaurant/bar serving Spanish tapas with a seating capacity for less than 50 patrons and a total load of less than 99. Requesting an Entertainment Endorsement for occasional small Spanish ensemble, acoustical trio and DJ.
                                
In addition, requesting a Sidewalk Café with 12 seats and Summer Garden with 20 seats.”
