"A Clarendon sports bar that was a staple for trivia night and beer is set to close next week, potentially ending a run of more than 40 years in venues across D.C. and Arlington. The bar — which turned 40 in 2017 — has a storied past, first opening as a modest pub in a Dupont Circle alleyway in 1977, later moving to Georgetown before landing in its current Arlington location in the early 2000s. Owner Robert E. Lee says the space has hosted big names like Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Washington Redskins quarterback Sonny Jurgensen; he attributes the closure to health issues rather than rent and is keeping the Mister Days brand name in case he decides to sell it or open another location. A closing date is scheduled for Friday, April 12, with finale festivities expected to be posted on its website." - Tierney Plumb
