goldenticket Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Time for another change in this space. Flat Iron is closed. A banner on the front of the building announces "Don Taco Tequila Bar - Coming Soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simul Parikh Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is it related to Don Tito's? I heard they were moving into Alexandria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarStraf Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Again from Red Brick town "Don Taco Restaurant and Tequila Bar Coming to Old Town" RE: "changeover from Flat Iron Steak & Saloon to Don Taco Restaurant & Tequila Bar. One of the owners, Scott Parker, reached out via email. "While we had a good 2.5 years at Flat Iron, we never felt that the concept was successful enough. We know we can do better and provide something that the people of Old Town can enjoy more and on a more regular basis. We hope to open by February 15th as construction is moving along quickly. The new concept will have a bar on the first floor, as well as one on the second floor with tables for seated dining on both. Diners can expect a concept that is based around tacos, beer, and tequila. There will be a few other Mexican-American items but tacos will be the bulk and the highlight of the menu."

Scott Parker is the owner/co-owner of Don Tito and A-Town. I'm not sure "diners" will be the right term here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenticket Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 The brown paper is off the windows and opening appears to be imminent (March 7, per their FB page). The layout is a complete change from the previous incarnation(s), with booths lining the right side and a bar on the left. It'll be interesting to see how (if?) this place will impact Austin Grill, just across the street, also branded as a Tequila Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
