History
The corner of 14th Ave and E Union ST on south Capitol Hill has experienced a renaissance since 2010. The Chloe Apartments brought Marjorie Restaurant, Mode Fitness, and Skillet Diner. But through all the activity, the La Pazanella Bakery building remained vacant, full of promise and the subject of many rumors over the several years since it closed. (Hardware store!? Dance club!?) Well, the building is now literally full of promise as OOLA Distillery opened in the fall of 2011 with its on-site distillery and tasting room, then the 10 degrees space, housing KT Niehoff's Lingo Productions (check availability as an event rental space), opened along with Lucky 8's China House (now Bar Sue) and Restaurant Zoe. These inventive and passion-driven venues now fill the once-vacant building with spirit and creativity. We feel we have added to an already vibrant mix of retail and restaurant spaces in the area and we hope you feel the same.
