Co-owners Aaron McGovern and Arturas Vorobjovas, who opened the H Street Brine in 2020, opened a second Brine Oyster and Seafood House location earlier this year in Dupont Circle at Connecticut and Florida Avenues, on the ground floor of the former Russia House restaurant.
Russia House, which opened in 1991, temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The high-profile building was targeted by vandals shortly after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. McGovern and Vorobjovas chose to close the restaurant permanently shortly after. Neither of the owners have any ties to Russia.
