Electricians installed the sign yesterday at the new, second Montgomery County location of Quincy's, at 4920 Del Ray Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It then lit up for the first time last night.
The new bar, which is expected to open in about two weeks, will offer 4 nights of live music a week. A brick pizza oven will be a major feature indoors, as well as a slew of televisions to create more than one "best seat in the house."
I am very curious to see the dirt-bags that this place will attract...
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it's quite a bit more than "two weeks" away from opening.
ReplyDeleteThey have been having a ton of trouble with permits I hear.
ReplyDeleteWhat causes all the problems with permits? Is it the county just being slow? Some things need to be taken care of? Other?
DeleteSo, this is a night spot opening in a site that has been a pizzeria? Sounds like a gain in night spots for Bethesda.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hans Reimer! :)
5:20 nope..it was Hard Times.
Delete+1 for Riemer and his nightlife initiative! Glad we as a County elected officials who are helping bring us out of this moribund economy!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I'm buying Hans a drink at the grand opening. Right after I pick up his dry cleaning.
Delete5:24: Wrong! Sorry, but Hans Riemer has absolutely nothing to do with this establishment opening. In fact, his policies and actual votes on the Council have made it more expensive for this and other businesses to operate.
DeleteIt was their outdoor area and electrical permits as well as demolition from what I understand.
ReplyDeleteOh they have decent bar food. It's funny because the North Bethesda location doesn't have a pizza oven.
ReplyDeleteThis place is terrible and how they've managed to expand if beyond me. Planning funeral now.
ReplyDelete@ 5:21 AM - Oh, good. So no net loss from the closure of Hard Times.
ReplyDeleteAnd soon that place replacing United Jerks will open, too.
Just three more to go and we'll be completely caught up with the recent losses.
5:28: Nope, you need a new calculator.
Delete@ 5:21 AM - It's odd that Dyer doesn't mention that this used to be Hard Times. His readers are always interested in the history of these properties where new businesses are opening.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet. Another plus for the MoCo nighttime economy initiative. A welcome addition to the bar scene in Moco. Can't wait for untappd too.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Leggett and the council for helping to revitalize the county's "nighttime economy."
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will be successful. The one in North Bethesda seems to be.
6:28: Wrong - the "nighttime economy" initiative was a complete failure, as I've documented every step of the way on this blog.
DeleteWhy is that electrical cable in the last photo shaped like a noose? Is that meant as a warning to Dyer?
ReplyDelete5:05 It will be the haven for the refugees from Steamers. Rats running from a downed ship.
ReplyDeleteDyer error in the opening statement, there are three Quincy's in MoCo, you're mission is to find the original. It's still operating.
ReplyDeleteLittle tough to tell from that photo but it looks awfully narrow across from the bar. Man, I'm missing HT.
ReplyDeletegreat, just what we don't need, more pizza. leave that to the professionals guys. how does that fit into an irish bar chainlet? it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteSounds great. Live music too.
ReplyDeleteShould do better than Villain & Saint.
@6:51 AM - That is how extra slack in wiring is normally stored.
ReplyDeleteMore sign news: Suma (former Nest) put up their sign today.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this place supposed to have a roof top deck? Either I read it on here or other Bethesda blog websites but I clearly remember someone saying they will have rooftop eating...
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing about a roof deck too. What up with that?
DeleteThe Vampire awakes!
ReplyDelete12:35: Explains how you were asleep at the switch for all the big news of 2016 (and 15.. and 14... and...).

ReplyDelete"I've documented every step of the way on this blog"
incessant unfounded diatribes ≠ "documented"
1:09: Every report laid out the indisputable facts and data. Stop lying.
Delete1:22 but without linked supporting evidence despite numerous reasonable requests.
DeleteYour opinion and writing as stated in your article does not always equal facts and days.
*data*
DeleteTo the best of my memory, of the night spots that existed in 2010, the only ones that have closed and not re-opened as new night spots, and are not currently under construction to transform them into new night spots are the following:
ReplyDelete-Steamers (lost liquor license due to repeated violations)
-Relic (lost liquor license due to repeated violations)
-Ri Ra (Arlington location closed at the same time)
Hey Dyer, this is the THIRD Quincy's in MC. Gaithersburg, Rockville (don't call it North Bethesda) and now Bethesda.
ReplyDelete"Every report laid out the indisputable facts and data"
ReplyDeleteLol. I don't even think you seriously believe that.
"Stop lying"
It's funny the same words cross my mind when I read many of the 'op-eds' on this blog.
Dyer wouldn't know a legitimate "nightspot" if it sat on his face, he probably thinks they should all be like "The Peach Pit" Birdbrain
ReplyDelete@2:13 I can think of more. Tommy Joe's old location (yeah they moved, but they took over a failing nightspot, so it's a net loss of 1 nightspot); Blackfinn; Hanaro (ok almost dead, not dead yet); Parva, Parker's, Nest, Hard Times.
ReplyDeleteProbably depends on how you classify nightlife. All those places had a decent bar and happy hour scene, though not all were nightclubs.
@ 6:52 PM - The site that was The Roof, later Urban Heights, and now the relocated Tommy Joe's, was an abandoned furniture repair shop in 2010, so it's not a net loss.
ReplyDeleteParva was the Angeethi Indian restaurant in 2010. Also not a net loss.
Not to intrude on this little squabble, but what the heck does it matter what opened when. closed when...minor details.
ReplyDeleteIs there more nighttime economy in Bethesda now then there was 3 years ago? I don't see or hear of it. So the initiative isn't working or isn't working as well as planned. That's not a win in my book.
Please go back to your mindless bickering.
