Duffy’s Irish Pub, home to arguably the best wings in the city, will close tonight at midnight.

Owner Andy Duffy confirmed the news to PoPville: ” We just could not make it out of the financial hole we got in the first several years we were open. I would like to thank all of you who have supported us over the years. I have met some truly wonderful people. I also would like to thank my staff, they are the best.”

Beer is $5 and the wings are free while they last. DCist contributor Josh Novikoff explained their glory in January.

Duffy’s has been the gold standard of ‘best of wings’ lists in this city for years because of how unique they are. They aren’t buffalo wings with a typical hot sauce and butter blend. Nor are they smoked with some thai or asian-style blend. Their traditional sauce—a secret, house-blended, peppery mix—is ladled gently atop the chicken. Start with the most heavily sauced ones, and as the others sit and get pushed around, they’ll roll around through the excess sauce and to get a perfectly coated consistency. Note: Duffy’s says on their website that orders for take-out for the Super Bowl must be placed by this Friday so they can keep pace with demand. Plan accordingly
