Well known for its inexpensive pitchers of beer and a very amphibian interior, the Froggy Bottom Pub has served as a hotspot for both post-game meals and Foggy Bottom collegians in search of a cheap watering hole over the last 11 years. But when Kaiser Permanente vacates its office space along the 2100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue NW next year, it’ll be displaced.

The Hatchet reports that the ownership of the bar realized that their time at 2142 Pennsylvania Avenue was short after the George Washington University released its long-term campus plan back in 2007. But not all is lost, however:

[Owner Hien] Bui said she and her husband have been searching for a new home for the 26-year-old college bar within walking distance of the Foggy Bottom Campus and hope to relocate just a few blocks away. The Buis borrowed funds from friends and took out a loan on their home to buy Froggy in 1999 with less than $10,000 in their savings account.

Without Froggy, Bui – a vibrant Vietnamese woman who routinely chats up regulars – said students would miss out on a traditional college pub experience. But if she finds a different space, the new eatery would be nearly identical to the classic pub and she would continue looking after students.

“I take care of them like their own mother,” Bui said. “I do not take crap from you guys.”

Having frequented the joint myself on many an occasion over the last few years, I can state with all authority that Bui is the quintessential D.C. college bar owner — much like the mom away from mom, she wants you to have fun, but isn’t afraid to spit her acid tongue in the direction of those who get out of line. Here’s hoping she’s able to land the bar on solid footing somewhere.
