Jason reports: “Saw this out on my walk with the pup this morning. Scarlet Oak in Navy Yard. Looks like someone wanted the booze on the other side of the glass. Hard to see from the pics but the bar is on the other side of the window and the alcohol is lined on the shelves. Also tough to see, but there’s another layer of glass behind the first and it looks much tougher as the person apparently couldn’t get through that one.”

From an email:

“As we sat around the restaurant yesterday trying to figure out the best way to move forward it dawned on us that not only are our local vendors and suppliers suffering, but there could be a match made between customers wanting to stay away from large grocery store environments, and the products they desire/need. In this moment Walters Country Store Account (WaltersCSA) came to life.

Bridging the gap between local suppliers and our customers Walters CSA will offer pre packaged bundles available to purchase online and picked up in store. Please note all Beer/Liquor/Wine must accompany a food purchase.

Our goal is to help keep the supply chain moving as best we can. For our customers who have the means to keep purchasing to our suppliers who have the means to keep producing WaltersCSA can be a safe link in between.

Head over to Waltersdc.com/Walters-csa to sign up for our newsletter. We will send out our first email today by 2pm with our options. Orders will need to be placed by 7pm for pickup the next day between 4-10pm. We’re also happy to look at special requests.

Stay Clean”

Ed. Note: Walters (10 N Street, SE) is “also getting growlers in from DC Brau for filling later today.”

Thanks to Raymond for sending. Looks like Rockville closed March 1st. Did Navy Yard also close March 1st? And I just confirmed over the phone – they closed permanently in Navy Yard on Sunday too. If you go to Gordon Biersch’s website there are no locations listed for D.C. (and the Rockville on is gone too.)

Gordon Biersch opened in Navy Yard back in March 2013. (more…)
