Yeah, that sucks. I liked that place. Seeing Plants and Animals there was awesome.

It had become probably my favorite venue on account of it being a good space, having good acts, featuring a great rye selection and being close to my house. I will miss my between-set strolls down the alley behind it. DAMN that was convenient.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn!   :-[

I actually considered going in to eat there the other night.  Definitely wish I had.

A great spot.  Will miss this place.

Sad!  What a great place to see a show.

Such a bummer. Will have to go in and eat/drink one last time, maybe catch another burlesque show. I wish the guy would have sold it to someone who would keep it the way it is. Hopefully some douche spot doesn't go in there.

Never went to the Red Palace, but one time I saw King Khan and BBQ at the Red and the Black. The bartender/soundguy wouldn't turn the house music off when Khan/BBQ were scheduled to start so they had a temper tantrum. Sound was terrible so the band packed it up after 3 songs...I think the Points opened and got kicked out of the show for being too wild (the floor was going to collapse).

actually kind of glad I'll have less reason to visit H Street..

the concert-goer in me agrees since it's a pain to get to, but it has some nice food and beer spots that shouldn't be overlooked (granville moore's, toki, smith commons, to name a few).

Anyone been to Atlas Arcade out there? I was walking out of Toki and saw a line of dudes dressed up as old pro wrestlers but didn't get a chance to go in. Heard it's awesome.

an arcade with a killer selection of older and whatever "newer" cabinets they still make . . . that serves excellent beer . . . and pizza by the slice.  ok, some other really good food too that is served by people that take food seriously.  and bands.  lots of fucking bands and dj nights.

i want that.

protip: take out service from Toki is fantastic - easily the best value in the city.
