Brickskellar closing?

[redsock]

Anyone else heard this? Friend of a friend thing, I'm just hoping it isn't true. RFD is no match for the Skeller, which, of course, is practically in my Apt. building.

[Arthwys]

Wow.  This would suck.  A lot.

[Sage 703]

Yes, it would.
 
 I can't believe they'd be closing...they're always packed on the weekends and generally seem to do pretty good business during the week.  Certainly possible though...

i really doubt it.. a agood friend of mine works there... is tending bar upstairs tonight
 
 she would have said something... i just saw her..
 
 
 i really don't buy this.. its a dc institution.. it would be a huge loss
 
 i'm sure they'd turn it into a cvs

NRG group that owns Rustico in VA is opening a new place on 14th street where hamburger mary's/dakota cowgirl used to be.  The upstairs is going to be a beer bar with 500 bottles, 50 drafts and 5 casks. the beer will be good, fresh, and actually in stock, RFDs and the brickskellar will be unnecessary

[redsock]

Hardly unnecessary. Always nice to have new places to check out, but neighborhood bars are always necessary. Which is exactly what the Skellar is. Not a huge fan of RFD myself.

Wow, I haven't even thought about that place in 10 years.   Would be sad to see it go.

Confused.
