RTD has the Re-opening Date for Tobacco Company
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.
