Updates as more is known.
Update from The Post’s Tim Carman tweet:
“Hold those Post Pub eulogies for now. I just spoke with owner Bob Beaulieu, who said closure is not “100 percent for sure, but it’s not looking good.” He still has meetings planned with the landlord and others. More as I know it.”
The Post Pub wrote May 28th:
“Dear Friends of the Post Pub,
As you know, the COVID-related shutdown has been devastating to the hospitality industry, especially bars and restaurants. Mom and Pop businesses like the Post Pub are particularly hard hit. While a final decision about the future of the Post Pub has not yet been made, it does not look good. The economics of just outdoor seating or limited capacity don’t work when coupled with the high operations costs of a D.C. establishment.
For almost 44 years, the Pub has been honored to be a part of your day, evening, Happy Hour, or weekend. We’ve enjoyed being a place where people from every walk of life feel comfortable. We can’t thank you enough for your support over the years. As soon as a final decision has been made on the future of the Post Pub, we will update this page and the local media. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. #LongLivePostPub”
Thanks to Ben for sending:
“Getting the sad news from sources on staff that Post Pub will not be reopening. One of my favorite dives in DC along with several of my friends. Sad day and end of an era. Management told staff this morning apparently.”
I called the Pub and the phone just kept ringing without being picked up or going to voicemail. The Post Pub’s last Facebook post was March 16th and says: “Folks, the Post Pub has been in business for over 43 years. This shut down is tough. Please consider buying carry out food from us between 11am and 5pm beginning Tuesday 3/17.”
I asked Ben if they were still doing take out and he replied: “Don’t think they even did takeout. I called for takeout several times myself and they never answered”
Their website is still live and says:
“The building that houses the Post Pub was built in the late 1860s. At that time, it was a tailor shop owned by an influential German immigrant named Frederick W. Imhof. Mr. Imhof, who died in 1916, was also a prominent member of the Concordia Lutheran Church at 20th and G Streets, N.W.
During the Great Depression, the building at 1422 L Street sat vacant. (more…)
Once a year we open the warehouse just for you.
Inside: a designer-curated mix of expressive new pieces and vintage finds on sale up to 75% off from the Lisa & Leroy collection.

From the good people at From Moreland’s (5501 14th Street, NW):
“This week we have a SUPER LIMITED amount of Gold Rush bottles available. The perfect blend of of bourbon, lemon juice and honey syrup. Shake, pour over ice and enjoy! We also have both the Ginger Manhattan and Tavern Old Fashioned back in stock! These can be ordered online here starting at 4pm today.”
Ed. Note: If you’re wondering why I’m always posting about Moreland’s Tavern it’s because I love Moreland’s! And liquor. And John Denver. And my kids belly laughing when they watch Minions.

I think Bantam King still has soft serve. Anyone know others? https://t.co/IjVBTAaVy8

“Here are Newt (left) and Ripley (right), formerly of Glover Park and now happy H Street residents. They mostly come out at night… mostly. In the back under the armchair is their brother, Iggy Pop.”
