On Saturday morning we drove past the long-closed Stottsville Inn, 3512 Strasburg Road, and were amazed at the transformation. The front porch has been enclosed, the gazebo is gone and there's is an entirely new entranceway on the Timacula Road side -- the steep flight of slippery Astroturf-covered steps is no more. Judging from the photographs on the historic inn's website, the dark, well-worn interior has undergone an equally dramatic update.
Father-and-son team Michael and Jake Quinn have bought the place and are shooting for an opening later in April. Hours for the neighborhood restaurant and bar will be 4 p.m. to midnight, Wednesday through Sunday. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, pizza, "large plates," desserts, and "for the table" snacks. Craft and domestic beers will be on tap, as well as wine by the glass and a full bar.
We can't wait to go back and say "hi" to the resident ghost, whom we hope has not been too put out by all of these updates.
