Adapted from the September 2011 edition of the Glover Park Gazette:
Gin & Tonic (2408 Wisconsin Ave.) served its last gin &/or tonic on August 6 and shut down for “a face-lift,” according to co-owner Fritz Brogan. It was set to reopen in early September as Mason Inn, “a Southern-themed sports and live music restaurant and bar,” Brogan tells us. The renovated space will feature a longer bar, new seating, and “at least six” 60-inch HDTVs with all the sports cable packages, Brogan adds.
We hear the bar was already open as Mason Inn for a Hurricane Irene party on August 27. The club’s owners plan a grander renovation in the future, to include a full kitchen and rooftop seating, Brogan says.
