The Examiner interviews Argonaut's Shaaren Pine and she reveals that the estimate damage is $500-$750k! Damn! But rebuilding continues. Right now the first floor is closed, but upstairs, and the outdoor patio remain OPEN. They have food, just not the full regular menu. But, you can still grab a cubano and a beer at this H Street institution. 1433 H Street (right now you need to walk around to the Maryland Ave entrance).

is the investigation complete?
i hope it wasn't arson
side note: nice picture of ms pine. i don't think i've ever seen her before? her husband is one lucky guy.
soul searcher- this is a really BAD picture of her! She's beautiful!
The fire was electrical Soul Searcher, or are you suggesting that you committed arson?
Yes Soul searcher I am a very lucky guy! I have a beautiful and very supportive wife (who is also a great mother), a loyal staff that has stuck with us through all of this, and a comunity that makes me very proud to be a part of!
Here are a few things everyone can look forward to when reopen the downstairs.
1. a bigger outdoor space with a garden style drinking area, a covered year round portion on the existing patio and an outdoor portion of our new bar
2. a bigger indoor, outdoor, bar. moved to the point, not seperate from the dining space for a much inproved atmosphere. designed by the great Lee wealer as a scaled down version of an ancient great ship.
3. a redisigned kitchen, (almost an open kitchen)
4. a service counter to contain supplies and spead up service.
5. new kitchen equipment including a new steamer in which we will be doing steamed shrimp, crablegs, clams, and other seafood in which we can offer steamer specials on a nightly basis.
6. new smaller cleaner mens bathroom.
7. new cleaner interior and exterior look
8. new old dinning room floor which will be level.(dont worry we are using all of the old floor on the new bar)
9. We are playing with the idea of a comunal table
10. Bigger Beer list with 12 beers on tap. we are building a walk in and running draft lines to both bars.
11. Bigger kick ass wine list.\
12. we are adding to our allready large rum list as well.
I cant give you an acurate time line at this point, we are still at the hands of insurance and PEPCO. around 8 to 12 weeks.
