… no “co-mingling” between the two.
At the Red & the Black, it’s not just about feeling good, it’s about looking good, too. To that end, on Feb. 6, the club plans to inaugurate “Fat Tuesdays Phat Haircut and a Shot”—a trim and a dose of liquor for $12.
Bill Spieler, the club’s co-owner, says the idea comes direct from the Big Easy, where the H Street bar gets its inspiration. “Since we’re themed after New Orleans, there’s a bar [there] called R Bar where they do the exact same thing every Monday night,” Spieler says.
Only problem is, here in the District, the haircut-shot combo may not be legal. Ronnie Taylor, supervisory sanitarian for the Food Safety and Hygiene Inspection Services Division of the Department of Health, says, “No food establishment is authorized to co-mingle with any other nonfood establishment”—which means a tavern offering food can’t double as a hair salon.
