According to excerpts from the story:
A notoriously raucous dance club that closed in 2008 will be replaced with a restaurant and bar that places more emphasis on food than events like its predecessor's "Wasted Weekends." Steve Brechting, owner of Hub's Inn at 1645 Leonard St. NW and Chef Brech Catering, has leased the former Margarita Grill, 25 Ottawa Ave. SW. He plans to transform it into 25 Kitchen & Bar. "We're going for a concept that's different from anything else downtown," Brechting said. Small plates, wood-fired pizzas, wrap sandwiches -- all with "a different twist" -- will be on the menu, he said.

Brechting said he plans to offer occasional live music but no dance floor.
