It’s been more than two years since rumors emerged that Dr. Dremo’s, the Arlington landmark famous for its beer selection and now-outlawed outdoor beer pong, was closing to make way for condos. Now, the actual date is confirmed — as of January 2008, Dremo’s will be no more. From their website:

Dr Dremo’s will close the doors at the current location on Sunday, Jan 27th, 2 AM. We are actively scouting for a new location. If you know of any spaces for sale or lease in the Clarendon/Courthouse area, please contact us.

Dr Dremo’s new location (and how you may be able to invest in a new Dremo’s)
The series of big blowouts in January (including our last Elvis’ birthday party ever!)
The auction on Monday Jan 28th -everything must go!
The Dr Dremo and Taco Bell property has been sold to Elm St Development. Plans call for 141 residential units and 34,685 sf of ground floor retail.

Though we’re happy to know the bar probably isn’t closing forever, there will be something lost when it finally does relocate. After all, part of the Dremo’s appeal was that it stood as a visible and comfortable eyesore in an area that has been the focus of intense, though sterile development. Wherever it does end up, we hope Dr. Dremo’s is just as spacious, close to Metro and with the same well-maintained and springtime-fresh-smelling bathrooms.
