All,
We regret to inform you guys that Bailey’s Pub & Grille shut down and closed its doors a few weeks ago. We didn’t want to make any announcements until a decision has been made for this event, and tonight, we’ve come to a conclusion.
The event WILL still be going on. We have contacted numerous bars and venues around the metro area, and our new venue will be:
Hard Times Cafe
3028 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
The times of the event will change with the new venue, and it will now start at 1PM and end at 9PM. We are incredibly excited about this new venue, it’s still very metro accessible (right across the street from the Clarendon Metro stop), and it is a perfect situation for us.
The event details will be updated shortly.
Shin Tristan in collaboration with D.C. eSports is proud to announce our first event catering to the local fighting game community. On April 19, we will be taking over Hard Times Cafe in Arlington, VA for the Battle at the Capitol!
