It would be wrong to tell you the exact date but I can say it’s in December.

Karri Peifer of RTD has the scoop on the re-opening of Tobacco Company in Shockoe Slip. It has been 17 months since the restaurant suffered a fire that shut it down.

Over that time they’ve been working hard on not just repairing the damage but on making serious changes.

The 2018 reopening will unveil a massive renovation and restoration that includes hand-carved stained-glass windows; large-scale Art Deco-inspired paintings, specially commissioned for the restaurant; an LED-lit bar; a fully replicated, reclaimed wood bar; chandeliers from the set of the 2012 movie “Lincoln,” and gold-leafing of nearly everything.

Check out the full article here for the exact opening date and more details on the iconic dining spot.
