Harry’s Bar and Hotel Harrington Will Close for Next Pro-Trump Protest
The Proud Boys hangouts are shuttering during the January gathering.
WRITTEN BY ROB BRUNNER | PUBLISHED ON DECEMBER 29, 2020

The Proud Boys will need a new DC gathering spot if they come to town on January 6, as Donald Trump has urged his supporters to do. The Hotel Harrington will be closed on January 4, 5, and 6. Harry’s, the bar on its first floor, will be closed on the 5th and 6th.

The hotel did not say why it’s closing for those days, but the Proud Boys and other Trump supporters instigated a chaotic, violent scene downtown during the last pro-Trump protest in December. “While we cannot control what happens outside of the hotel,” the Harrington wrote in a statement, “we are taking additional steps to protect the safety of our visitors, guests and employees.”
