It’s not a great time to own a restaurant, particularly one that depends on masses of office workers crowding into a small space.
Amid the pandemic, Poke Bar in Rosslyn appears to have closed for good. The two-year-old, assembly line-style eatery on N. Lynn Street was empty this morning, with the furnishings gone.
There was no sign announcing a closure, however, and the location is still listed — albeit without a phone number — on the Poke Bar website.
It’s the latest apparent restaurant casualty in Arlington, with more expected as coronavirus takes a big toll on the industry. Others include Boston Market on Columbia Pike and Champps in Pentagon City, both of which have permanently shuttered before an expected reopening of the region gets underway.
