Bedrock Billiards Liquor License Posted In Gallery Place

From this post it would appear to be underground…would also fit in with the rest of the bedrock family; bedrock billards and buffalo billards are both underground.

Finally, a late night establishment. I think this place will do well.

Now, any information on Ecco and Comfort Shoes? Has anyone seen any activiry? I am not really a fan of their shoes, but I guess it’s nice to have businesses opening up.

Thanks sam, great info!

Anon: We haven’t seen any activity with the shoe stores (no building permits approved).

Great information!

They will be a great addition to the neighborhood. However, I ask fellow neighborhood residents – how do you feel about another location with a liquor license allowing them to be open until 3 am on weekends? For a bar to be open that late in your backyard, what do you expect them to do in return? For example, Clyde’s maintains their own security guards. The best opportunity to ask for any safeguards from Bedrock is before they get their license. Does anyone have an opinion on this? I know some neighbors of Coyote Ugly have had some complaints. It’s interesting that we have the juxtaposition of a quiet and dignified cultural institution – the Gallery – and the late night carousing and hard drinking of Clyde’s, Lucky Strike and Bedrock Billiards.

I couldn’t agree more. The new billiards place will have loud drunks leaving after 3am, using the garage and walkway.

The laws require them to take care of their own patrons, including once they leave the place if they’re drunk.

Maybe someone needs to approach them before the meeting and make sure that they remember why they chose our place, with residences and all, and that they have to respect that.

I worry that the loud, drunk and high patrons from this and other places walking around and loitering will bring down the value of our investment.

In the latest edition of the Washington Business Journal, an article about Bedrock Management’s expansion into Gallery Place/Penn Quarter reveals that the billiards at 714 7th Street will be located in the basement with a Comfort One Shoes and Ecco shoes located above it on the street level.

Comfort One Shoes and Ecco should be open this summer, while the billiards should be ready for business in six months.

Thanks anon! As soon as we can find the article in the online version of the Business Journal we’ll update this post.

My goodness, who would have thought that people actually drink and get loud in a city? Why didn’t my real estate agent inform me of this?

Welcome to DC.
