On Saturday we posted about Dr. Dremo’s, the much-beloved and missed Arlington bar that closed in January 2008 — they were looking for investors for a potential new location in Clarendon. Since then, a few others folks picked up on the story: you can read interviews with owner Andrew Stewart by blogger Tom Cizauskas and our own Missy Frederick in the Washington Biz Journal.

Stewart, whose father Bill opened Dremo’s predecessor Bardo’s, says he’s identified a location “within 1000 feet of the Clarendon Metro.” It’s a 2,400 square foot space with room for an expansion up to 4,500 square feet, plus 3,000 to 4,000 square feet of outdoor seating. The old location of Dr. Dremo’s had about 8,000 square feet. Stewart said he hopes to open in the space in spring of 2010.

For those worried that the old spot’s quirky atmosphere would be lost, Stewart writes in a prospectus that “It is our intent to recreate Dr Dremo’s in many facets as the previous location.” He also told Frederick he still has the copper tabletops from the old location, as well as many signs and booths, although some of the merchandise, including the 1000-pound totem pole that was sitting out front, were sold at auction.

The prospectus says the place will only serve beer and wine, but no hard liquor, to avoid having to deal with any percentage of food vs. alcohol sales rules. They would still offer burritos, sandwiches and other eats that can be heated and served quickly. Similar to the old Dremo’s wall of beer taps, new Dremo’s would have 25 to 36 taps of beer, with Stewart emphasizing that many will be hard-to-find beers. Hopefully they’ll include the weird ones from the old joint, like the chocolate donut beer.

For those interested in investing, there’s a $10,000 minimum, with an understanding that it would be paid back over 2 years. Email newdremos(at)gmail(dot)com if you’re interested.
