So…what’s up with the warehouse theatre space? No more shows, movies or dance parties? There was always a bar in there, as part of the theatre – is there still a theatre in there, as part of the bar?

I’m super excited for this place (love the tagline too), but I’d disagree a bit with your comment that “I definitely feel like this place has very little pretension.” While the place may have no pretension, people tend to carry it with them when they start to frequent these new hip places, so I’m getting myself prepared to dealing with it when going to this place. Still super excited to check it out though.

They also have beers on top, which the Derby does not have.

I remember drinking at the Derby one night, talking to Dave and Sasha one night about their original decision to only serve cans. Seems that in their original location in Adams Morgan, they didn’t have enough room for bottles, and cans are a. compact and b. stackable. Their distributor found for them so many interesting beers in cans that they decided to keep with it when they moved.

So, a little less gimmicky, a little more practical.

Looks like a great spot; can’t wait to check it out!

Plus, you can smash cans on your forehead and not get yelled at because now someone has to clean up your blood and broken glass out of the lap dance room.

Cans, unlike glass bottles, are organic, and are considered renewable resources. The production of glass bottles uses much more energy and creates a great deal more pollution. And in recent years, scientists have discovered ways to adjust beer recipes in a way that the metallic aftertaste imparted by the cans actually enhances and complements the beer.

I don’t like the tag line…but it won’t stop me from getting wasted on my way home.
