Gypsy Sally’s, the intimate Washington, DC venue that opened its doors in 2013 and hosted countless up-and-coming and established acts in its 300-capacity room, will close in early 2020, the venue’s owners announced yesterday via a post on social media (via DCist).

“As you may have heard, our landlord recently sold the building where we have resided since 2013. It will be developed into condominiums,” the post explains. “With great sadness, Gypsy Sally’s will have its final load-out on January 5th, 2020. Until then, we plan on conducting business as usual with a full calendar of great music for you to enjoy.”

The owners also note that they are planning a farewell event that will feature local guitarist, Dark Star Orchestra co-founder and general extended Grateful Dead family regular John Kadlecik, with details forthcoming. “It is only fitting that John should preside over our send off,” the post says, “and we are honored that he will be hosting our closing festivities.”

Gypsy Sally’s currently has shows from Kadlecik, Twiddle’s Mihali Savoulidis, Everyone Orchestra, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, Stella Blue’s Band and more on it’s remaining 2019 calendar.

“To our employees, fans, patrons, musicians, promoters, friends and families, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your support over these last 7 years,” the venue owners conclude. “We are privileged that Gypsy Sally’s was your go-to-place for music, friendship, and gathering. Thank you for giving us this chance of a lifetime and for walking on this journey with us. We hope to see you in the coming weeks so that we have the opportunity to thank you in person and maybe swap a few memories. It has truly been a long, strange, and wonderful trip…Peace, David and Karen.”
