Capital Club 16, a restaurant and bar known for its German-American fare, is permanently closing its dining room, the restaurant announced on its social media channels.
Why it matters: For nearly 15 years, Capital Club — located on the bottom floor of the historic Capital Club building on the corner of Salisbury and Martin streets — has been a staple of the downtown Raleigh dining scene.
It was a popular haunt of Fayetteville Street workers and capitol politicos alike.
Driving the news: Owned by chef Jake Wolf, Capital Club said it is transitioning to onsite catering, serving at pop-up events and focusing on its food truck, The Wandering Wolf.
Between the lines: Downtown Raleigh's restaurant scene continues to be in flux since the pandemic, with longtime favorites such as Garland and Humble Pie closing.
But new kitchens, including Figulina, Chido Taco and Flavor Hills, continue to open downtown.
