Woodbridge, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar and Grill at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center closed for good early Saturday morning, according to John Thomas, vice president of operations for the company.
Closing the restaurant was “strictly a strategic business decision based on our company’s future roll out plans,” Thomas said in an email.
The much-anticipated restaurant opened in December 2013 at Potomac Town Center after year’s worth of delays. but on Dec. 27, 2013, Breitbart News reported that Keith’s new restaurant has these words affixed to the front window: “No Guns Permitted.”
“Telling gun owners they weren’t welcome with their “No Guns” sign probably didn’t help the bottom line.” quipped Virginia Citizens Defense League’s Philip Van Cleave
Employees and patrons said the business was open Friday night, and staff was told at the end of shift that the restaurant would be closing.
Thomas confirmed that account, saying all employees were informed at that time.
By Saturday morning, the Woodbridge location’s website and Facebook page were removed.

You can sit in a restaurant and consume alcohol while carrying a pistol, but you can’t get drunk. In twenty years of concealed carry in Texas I’ve never heard of a single incident of someone getting drunk in a restaurant and shooting the place up. Keith is just another jerk impressed with his… Read more »
The ‘anti-rights cabal’ wants you to think believers in the 2nd Amendment are a bunch of pariahs. They’ve succeeded in doing that to smokers, yet they champion legalization of marijuana. It’s all about rendering the population mindless and powerless!
