Our staff, past & present, were/are regulars & have also worked at fellow Capitol Hill watering hole, @CapLounge -- so this hurts on so many levels.
No politics. No Miller Lite. All the memories.
You have 10 days to visit this institution. We'll see you there.
It is with the heaviest of hearts to report that our last day of service will be Sunday, 9/20. It’s been a great 26-year run, and we’re most proud of the way our management and staff have handled incredible adversity over the last 6 months.
Thanks to all for the love & support.
