This is why we can’t have nice things: two large bricks were thrown through windows at both Room 11 and Meridian Pint around 2:30 a.m. this morning. According to sources close to both bars, there were employees inside both Meridian Pint and Room 11 when the bricks were thrown, though no one was hurt.

Police responded to the scene shortly after the vandalism occurred, and the vandal was apparently caught on video by cameras outside Meridian Pint. The suspect is a white man, who was outfitted in all black clothing and a mask, who first hit Meridian, then moved south on 11th Street and broke a larger window at Room 11. Room 11 appears to have gotten the worst of it — the brick thrown there went through the large window which featured the bar’s logo.

Sources tell DCist that the man was chased for a short time, but fortunately, the situation didn’t end in the same way that a similar situation at DC9 did last fall.

There’s no word yet on whether the damage will affect operating hours at either establishment.
