Box Bar Not Re-Opening After All
The Bethesda restaurant—which changed hands briefly earlier this year—was sold back to its previous owner, who says it will not be opened again.
Bethesda's Box Bar & Grill has had a rough year.
A few months ago, the Hooters-style restaurant and bar was sold to George Farrell, who re-opened the space as Dry Fried Wings, a family-friendly eatery launched in January with a high-profile kickoff event featuring civil rights activists, Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, Patch reported.
But it didn't last, and Box Bar owner Jason McCarther bought the space back from George Farrell, with the intent of re-opening it as Roc Bar Live, Bethesda Now reported.
