The Scene: Say Goodbye To The Black Rooster Pub

If you heard the sad news around the nightlife rumor mill about the Black Rooster Pub, I am here to confirm it and offer my condolences. For almost 40 years the pub has been a haven for working stiffs of all kinds in D.C. and this Friday they are closing their doors for the very last time. If you've ever walked around the K Street area of DC than you've easily seen the brick building stick out like a sore thumb mixed between the suits of financiers and politicians.

Being one of D.C.'s oldest (and last) family owned bars, the Black Rooster has developed quite a following that ranges from college students to suits to hospitality employees after a long night in the kitchen. And to be quite honest there is an easy argument saying that Jody (the owner) is easily one of DC's most successful business owners. He bought the bar for $1 and it will be sad to see it go away for a gift shop.

CHEERS TO THE BLACK ROOSTER PUB!!  COME BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 16 FOR THE FINAL BEER!!
