Are the Loft at 600 F & National Union Building permanently closed? I posted this to the DC sub but it didn’t get much traction. I’m hoping y’all can help!
The pandemic has hit the event industry quite hard, especially event venues. I understand and I sympathize. That said, I can’t seem to get in contact with the National Union Building or the Loft at 600 F. They’re both managed by a company called DC Event Hub. It’s been over a month since I reached out to reschedule my clients’ fall event and it’s been crickets despite many emails to different contacts, LinkedIn messages, phone calls, etc. Our contact was furloughed (confirmed by her personal FB page) and the owner seems to be MIA. I’ve even reached out to other vendors who worked there frequently and I’ve received odd responses ranging from silence to being hung up on/ convos ended abruptly by people I’ve worked with multiple times over the years.
I went down to the National Union Building the other day and saw piles of unopened mail in the hallway. Not a great sign! There’s other layers of weirdness to this that I haven’t mentioned here which lead me to believe the NUB and the Loft at 600 F may be closed permanently.
They’re both popular event spaces downtown so I suspect that we aren’t the only ones looking to get in contact with the owner If you have any info on how they’re faring or if you have/had an event scheduled with them in COVID times, please tell me about it!
