This is why that post about the guys buying the Ferrari dealership did not read like satire to me.

Yay, gun imagery

Oh, good, more semi-expensive trendy joints on the Hill. More places for the ever-incoming straight twentysomethings to hang out in.



Christ, I miss the old Capitol Hill, but fuck it - it's long, long gone and this is the next incarnation. I'll try to not be glum about it.

@1: Really? Granted, the details about staffing are insider baseball, but decor- and "concept"-wise, his place actually seems pretty restrained... which is a relief, as I said in the post. Click on that 8oz. Burger Bar link for something that really reads like satire.

@2: Joining Tommy Gun and Can[n]on and probably more I'm forgetting—apparently, it's a thing?

@3: I'm with you, but i'm also trying not to be glum about it and give some props to the new places that aren't just carbon copies of existing, slightly-less-new places... Also why I included a shout-out to the Summit, which is grubby and great. Let's hope some Capitol Hill nightlife conglomerate doesn't have to "rescue" it.

To quote my brother: "Capitol Hill has become Bennigans for hipsters".
