HStreetDC reports that the Argo plans to have someone down at DCRA tomorrow to obtain a permit to start repairing the damage. The fire appears to be electrical, and mostly confined to the kitchen. Otherwise it's mostly smoke clean-up.

" the place will be up and running in no time "
Oh yeah right, if by no time you mean months is no time for someone without a job and has bills to pay, yeah you're right. My bad. What was I thinking ?
another anonymous idiot!

What is it about neighborhood blogs that brings out the worst in people? Do that many trolls read this blog (and Prince of Petworth, where the commenters are about 5,000 times worse)?
People were wishing the people of the Argonaut the best, yet some see this as an attack. What sad lives some of you must lead.
From what I've read it seems to be a small fire restricted to the kitchen and some of the bar area. I don't see this place being shut down for more than 1 or 2 months. The people out of a job can get unemployment checks while they're undergoing renovations or they could look for a similar job at another competing bar/restaurant in the area. I'm sure they will be alright. Some of you people here need to relax a little and stop blowing this thing out of proportion
It's amazing how touchy the hipsters get when it's their jobs and not the jobs of someone working for a corporation somewhere else.

I like hipster zings as much as anybody, but Argo seemed pretty light on the hipster employee scale.
Jokes about fire and people losing their jobs are funny.......unemployment is a joke. especially in this economy.
