After several months of closure, Urban Butcher will reopen in downtown Silver Spring on Monday, February 9. The restaurant has been shuttered since October due to a roof fire, which damaged the first-floor eatery.
Chef/owner Raynold Mendizabal, who opened the ambitious coffee shop/butchery/bar/restaurant less than a year before the incident, will host an open house on Monday to thank the neighborhood for its support. Guests can stop by between 5 and 10 for free appetizers and happy hour drink specials. A complimentary roast will be served at 7:30.
