Well, They pulled off the opening…
guys from my local motorcycle BBS (dcsportbikes.net) went last night, and few talk to the owner and he said he will host our Two Wheel Tuesday (TV show about motorcycles)…

They let you bring in outside food – I’ve done that at plenty of their other places.

To that list you can add Bedrock, Aroma, Atomic, and Rocket.

wow…i walked by there earlier today (like just after noon) and it looked like they had a LOT of work to do before opening. tonight, you say?? amazing. good luck to ‘em. wonder if they’ll cut into the chop house’s bar bidness. that’s one of my favorite watering holes in penn quarter. good drinks, friendly barkeeps

i ride. i have since i was twelve. as of my 40 years of age, i’m basically a commuter, but i live work and ride in dc on a “crotch rocket”. i don’t rev, i don’t “pop wheelies”, i just ride a bike that will get me from A to B. don’t judge us bikeriders by neolithic standards. please.

thanks.

you’ll be seeing A LOT more bikes, thanks to the economy. i work at the state department, and three folks in my office (all over the age of 50) have purchased ‘crotch rockets’, or “rice rockets” for the redneck transplants. they ride responsibly and love their new lease on life.

AND they frequent local bars, inclusive of, but not limited to, “biker bars”.

i have no doubt that some folks would rather a cheesecake factory, but those are the same folks that don’t understand demographics.

it’s cool. just chill.

and buy a bike or a scooter. you’ll “unclench” a bit more, trust me. and you might actually be able to pretend you’re an urbanite living in the city! unless of course you’re from the burbs. in that case… stick to your stipmalls.

thanks in advance!

FYI – Bedrock also owns Aroma which does not have food, but they have a whole bunch of menus behind the bar. It’s kind of nice to be able to bring in your own food or even have it delivered. Not bad!

You are right… I ride sport bikes and its only the new riders that do that dumb shit. Im like the motorcycle police in adams morgan and go up to all the assmunchs and tell them to stop that and only bamas and newbies do that. We use to be able to park across from asylum next to the police sub station, but the noise made stores angry and we had to move. Now they get $200 tickets.

I try to tell all the idiots not to rev…and i will try again this spring, but If this is a biker bar themed place it only make sense to try and get some kind of motorcycle parking.

No thanks! All you’ll get are kids on crotch rockets rev limiting their bikes and hanging out in the spaces all night long a la too fast too furious.

Even in Adams Morgan, they’ve reduced the number of motorcycle spaces.
