As the Washington metro area begins to reopen, we have seen an increase in inquiries about comedy shows and wing night. So here's the skinny:

The Big Hunt is still closed for business for the foreseeable future due to the Coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, there will be no stand-up comedy shows in the basement and no food specials.

As soon as it is safe and economically viable, The Big Hunt will reopen. Please follow our social feeds to stay abreast of any developments. As soon as we know, you’ll all know!

Thank you for the support and please STAY SAFE!

Archaeologists in Leeds, England discovered more than 600 beer bottles at the site of an old Victorian brewery. Stacked neatly beneath a cellar staircase, the beer inside these 19th-century bottles contains dangerous concentrations of lead.

Good to see our colleagues thinking on their feet and being creative. ✊

"It’s been a crazy two weeks," says one brewery owner. "It feels like two years."
