The Public Option brewpub in Northeast D.C. is happy keeping things in the neighborhood.

It’s hot and sweltering and miserable out there today, hardly the kind of setting in which one yearns to drink outside. But loyalists of Arlington’s old favorite, Bardo Rodeo—which later reincarnated as Dr. Dremo’s—have a reason to brave the heat this evening.

The plan to revive the old Arlington brewery and restaurant Bardo has cleared a major regulatory hurdle with the approval of its request for a D.C. liquor license.
