Their building got bought by Terry Black's BBQ and they are doing everything they can to force out DCH even though DCH has two years left on their lease. The BBQ guys are playing really dirty and have way more resources than Amanda, the DCH owner. It's pretty obvious that their strategy is just to bludgeon Amanda with legal nonsense until she runs out of money.Here's a column on the situation.
DCH has been in Deep Ellum since 2009 and while they could probably find a new building somewhere, the chances of finding an appropriate space in Deep Ellum are pretty slim. It's also hard to imagine it doing as well as it has in any other neighborhood in Dallas. It's a perfect fit in its current location.
It may honestly be too late for DCH, but if you are looking for something to do this week, you could check out a show or buy some cheap drinks at the bar.
-DCH is Aggie owned
-Just to clarify, this is not "Black's" BBQ proper.
-DCH is right down the street from Pecan Lodge, so there's a very strong likelihood that the restaurant fails and who knows what moves in
If any of that moves the needle for you, please try to swing by at some point this week. There's a free show tomorrow at 7:00 that I think will be really good even though it's not really traditional comedy. The 8:00 shows on Wednesday and Thursday feature two of my favorite improv troupes. If you're into standup, there's a show every Friday at 10:00 that features local standups, but also brings in up and comers from around the country.
