The popular Froggy Bottom Pub is lobbying community members to extend the pub’s weekend hours until 3 a.m.

The restaurant portion of the pub is open until 11 p.m. nightly and the bar closes at 2 a.m., but with later hours, the pub could continue service and carryout on the main floor.

At the Foggy Bottom and West End Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting Wednesday night, members said they would not oppose Froggy Bottoms’s plan to stay open later.

“They’re pretty far away from the residential area and I haven’t had any complaints,” Commissioner Florence Harmon said.

The ANC often protests business’ requests to stay open later – whether they serve liquor or not – because community members fear rowdy students will impact their quality of life.

Froggy Bottom Pub owner Hien Bui said the extension would only apply to Friday and Saturday nights, but the option of closing before 3 a.m. exists if there are no customers in the bar.

“I just extended because all the establishments around me open very late, and customers sometimes want to stay because we are the quiet bar around here,” Bui said. “They want to talk and sometimes they don’t have enough time.”
