Back in September 2020 we reported that Baskin Robbins had closed above the former Mr. Chen’s space and coming Gourmand space. At the moment not clear how many flavors there will be at the smoke shop. Some of the neighbors will not be pleased. Stay tuned.

In late December Barredindc reported that “The Big Hunt Has Terminated Its Lease. Building for Sale/Rent”. I’ve been waiting for official word to come out but after spotting this dreaded sticker, I can be in denial no more:

For those not familiar:

“The Big Hunt is a one-of-a-kind dive bar and comedy venue in a sea of trendy clubs in the Dupont Circle area of Washington DC.

Open since 1992, The Big Hunt is one of DC’s oldest beer bars and has been serving quality craft beers on draft since long before the craft movement became mainstream”
