Opened/Opening

Bar Deco (717 6th St NW) (mid-September) – This art deco building has been beautifully restored on the exterior to make way for a new restaurant/bar. It should have a fantastic roof deck. Formerly The Rock, Coyote Ugly, and Muse Lounge.

Good riddance to McCormick & Schmick’s. This started off as a really goo restaurant when it opened, but gradually started going downhill. The service is simply horrible and “management” is in name on;y, not function. I stopped going there years ago after a disastrous evening with guests.
I’ve been to the roof deck at Bar Deco and it’s pretty quiet with no loud music. I think as long as they keep it that way the roof deck won’t bother neighbors. This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood after the disgusting Muse establishment, which was an embarrassment to the community.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I hope the Bar Deco manager realizes that their roof deck has residential buildings all around it, so if they play loud music on the roof late at night they’ll have noise complaints up the wazoo.
