14th Street’s latest Latin arrival is almost ready for its close-up. DC Al Toque, a Venezuelan bakery-café and bar, is aiming to open this weekend at 3910 14th Street NW, with the timing hinging on a final inspection and license sign-off. Neighbors recently spotted temporary signage and a liquor-license placard in the window, signaling plans for indoor seating, a sizeable sidewalk café and live entertainment.
License placard spells out capacity and endorsements
According to PoPville, the liquor-license placard at the site lists a New Retailer’s Class "C" Tavern with a seating capacity of 95. The document also notes a total occupancy load of 95 and a sidewalk café with 44 seats, and it shows the owners have applied for an entertainment endorsement, holiday-hours extensions and alcohol carry-out and delivery privileges.
Space's recent history
The corner spot at 3910 14th Street NW most recently housed Añejo Bar & Grill, which appears to have closed in November 2025, a shutdown noted by Eater DC. Before that, directory listings show earlier tenants at the same address, including Sabor's Latino Bar and Grill, per MapQuest, underscoring the block's long-running streak of Latin-focused spots.
Signage and next steps
Temporary window signage brands DC Al Toque as "Latin Cuisine • Bakery Café • Eventos • Bar" and highlights "Sabor venezolano en Washington DC," according to photos and tips shared with PoPville. The same report notes the team is "targeting this weekend for opening pending inspection," so the official debut still depends on the last round of approvals.
If the inspection and licensing process goes smoothly, neighbors can look forward to Venezuelan pastries and casual plates, a sidewalk-café vibe and occasional live music. We will update this story once the owners or licensing authorities confirm an opening date.
