As of yet, we haven’t heard of any last minute reprieves for Dr. Dremo’s, which plans to close its doors in the early hours Sunday morning. So come 2 a.m, you’re done downing your last ale in your favorite chair or stool next to that weird kitschy decoration you’ve always liked. But you can come back one last time, on Monday night at 7 p.m., for a chance to take your own piece of Dr. Dremo’s home with you. On the auction block are 12 pool tables, kitchen equipment, general restaurant supplies, 200-gallon stainless steel beer tanks and even the totem pole. “Most of this stuff is going in the dumpster if no one buys it,” manager Bill Stewart told Washingtonian. The bar’s beer tap handles, copper-topped tables, and original brewing tanks are among the few things that are not for sale.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, another D.C. fixture will also be closing its doors, but only temporarily. After seven years at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, Corduroy will be moving to its new location at 122 9th street NW in early March. Starting January 27 and running until its last day, January 31, they will be having their “liquid liquidation.” Although their food menu will be drastically reduced, if not eliminated altogether, there will be “special” deals on wine, beer and spirits in preparation for the big move. “Bring your friends and help drink me [Tom Power] out of the Four Points.”
