CVP rises from the ashes Renovations include rooftop deck, larger restrooms ALISSA KATZ Senior Editor A favorite college pub will soon rise from the ashes left by the fire that destroyed it a little more than one year ago. Charles Village Pub on Pennsylvania Avenue was first scheduled to reopen in January. Now, CVP manager Jason Jankiewicz said they hope to open to the public at the beginning of April. "Weather was a big pushback. That was pretty much the holdup,” he said. "With all of the rain in August and September, that didn't help. We're shooting for April 1, and to us it’s a very realistic goal.” On Jan. 29, 2011, a grease fire that totaled $350,000 in damages closed CVP for an indefinite period of time. "It was just more of a sad day than any¬ thing else,” Jankiewicz said. There were two customers and four or five employees in the building at the time of the fire, according to Jankiewicz. No one was injured. Soon after the fire, the building was demolished with the intention of building it from the ground up for a new, improved atmosphere. "There’s a lot more space, a lot more open than it was before," Jankiewicz said. The newly-renovated pub will have a rooftop deck and a first-floor patio, which Jankiewicz said will be perfect for spring and summer months. "The rooftop deck is completely exposed, so in the summertime it’s going to be awesome," he said. "There’s seating and standing on the bottom floor as well. It just won’t be as big as people remember, but with the rooftop deck we’re hoping to make up for that.” Another goal Jankiewicz and CVP’s three owners have is to balance a fun, bar See PUB, page 10 A grease fire resulted in $350,000 worth of damage and has closed CVP for more than a year.
