Ralph Lauren’s Rugby and Cafe Closes in Georgetown
1065 Wisconsin Ave, NW
Another prime retail space in Georgetown now vacant. Rugby was located at 1065 Wisconsin Ave, NW. In December 2012 we learned that Frye Boots would be moving in across the street into the former Papa Razzi restaurant space at 1064-1066 Wisconsin Avenue, NW.

I know cycling has problems, but the crackdown on juicing has gone too far.

I tried their kabob last weekend, it was pretty good and a lot of food for the price....
The entire chain closed down… I believe another Ralph Lauren concept is opening there.
Yeah, the brand was phased out nationally…one Abercrombie brand is enough IMO.
I liked the cafe, maybe we’ll get a RL Resturant. The one in Chicago is so good.
blasphemy….. Rugby was infinitely better than Abercrombie….
Totally agree…but most of the kids I guess didn’t. Ralph was too late to the game to have any impact.
agreed. and it was pricey.
RIP Georgetown!
LOL funny.
Agreed. Georgetown is destined to be a never ending revolving door of big name brand stores and bad chain restaurant and honestly not even good restaurants. Honestly we are 2 or three decades past the primetime of Gtown… RiP
Good. Hey Ralph – stop stealing sport names and trying to own them.
he stole an entire lifestyle and owns it…. rock it, Ralph. get your aristocracy on!
We only acquired one item from there in all of the eight years they were open. For the most part the clothes looked very used like nothing any of my ivy league preppie colleagues would wear.
meh.
There was a Cafe?
I had the same reaction. I just thought it was a Ralph Lauren store of some sort. I had no idea that it was also a restaurant. Maybe the lack of promotion is why they failed.
Ironically, I think the cafe was the first of its kind nationwide (as in, attached to a Rugby store).
it didn’t “fail”…. Ralph Lauren cut the line. put Houston’s back there where it belongs
Even Hillstone (the owners of Houston’s) could foresee the problems of maintaing the outrageously priced space to a fickle clientele. thats why they High tailed it to Bethesda same benefits with less riff raff.
Oh no! Where am I going to get my pink shirts, plaid shorts, and sweater vests now?
Urban dictionary has some wonderful descriptions.

Yeah, that place was ridiculously douchy. But I’ll admit, some of their winter stuff was excellent quality. I have a wool blazer from Rugby that I bought (at a huge discount) and it has saved me on many cold winter evenings. You just had to know how to steer past all the plaid and ridiculous stuff to find the well-made, 100% wool jacket on the sale rack
it’s all well made, it’s Ralph Lauren.
That commercial they always show before downton abbey is playing in my head now.
I liked spending a lazy afternoon there watching football having pints and buying the ocassional shirt there. Have to say at night – totally different atmosphere. Remember lifting the toilet lid to flutter of coke left on the seat.
ahhh, a flutter of coke… good times good times
I am pretty sure they never had toilet lids
1) Who the F- goes to Georgetown anymore? 2) There was a cafe there? Huh.
