First the building that houses Millie and Al’s went up for sale in December, and now the hammer is dropping: the iconic Adams Morgan dive bar will close on April 7, Washington Business Journal reports.

For more than a week, Millie and Al’s has been selling off its decorations—a sign that the end was coming for the 53-year-old bar. The most notable memorabilia, like the skeleton whose dance signals the readiness of a new batch of jello shots, will be up for auction at at 6 p.m. on April 3, with registration and doors opening at 4 p.m.

On April 7, the bar’s final night, Millie and Al’s will open early at 4 p.m.

So who will fill these shoes … or at least fill the property? WBJ says:

…a public document search confirms that 2440 18th LLC was registered with the District on March 7 to David Mazza, a co-founder of Taylor Gourmet. But we’re told this impending purchase has no connection to the growing hoagie chain, as Mazza stepped away from Taylor Gourmet in 2015. It is unclear what Mazza has planned for the space, but a new restaurant is obviously a good bet.

A humble request for whoever comes next: please continue to serve up jello shots.
