Seriously, stop hatin' on the man!! I only wish I had thought of half his ideas. Joe your bars simply Rock....and Roll!! (I know that was corny but, irresistible). Trust me, I know bars. My family owned them in Jamaica, I used to own one and I frequent them quite (too) often. Was just in The Pug and Rock and Roll on Friday and had a blast. If I ever decide to do the bar thing again I would love to have you as a mentor. Hmmm....old plumbing supply store off H St. NE w/ a speakeasy bar. I think I know exactly where you are but, I'll never tell.

P.s.---I know Peterson very well.

P.S.S.--The first day I moved into Capitol Lounge, (We were right next door to Sherril's) Nola, the matriarch saw me outside sweeping the sidewalk.
She asked me, "Are you the new owner?"
I nodded.
She wailed, "You're gonna fail!!!!"

Mike Licht,

The boothes from Sherril's I put in the basement of Pour House. The Bakery cases and back cabinets are now the bar at Rock and Roll Hotel. I had no luck acquiring the clock or the cool hunting paintings..........

Regards, Joe Englert

Good to know some things don't change, worked for Joe way back when (1999) and that pretty muched sums up most of what I saw, execpt it was a bike not a car most of the time

Oh man! Englert owns the sign from Sherrill's Bakery and Restaurant. How cool is that?

Hope he owns Dave Petersen's film about the place, Fine Food Fine Pastries Open 6 to 9.

Guess it's a good idea to stay away from the store when this arsehole is there.
There are very few things more relaxing than sit back with a glass of good wine listening to George Michael's silky voice over a beautiful jazzy melody.

Is this the average day for DC assholes? Joe Englert? Peter Nickles? Strip club patrons?
I guess it is an entire day devoted to the assholes of DC.
Try interviewing an "average" person for an "average day" - not the "average" DC assholes...
