After Hampden dive bar Dimitri’s Tavern closed for good last weekend, its new owners say they are close to finalizing a lease with another party to remodel the space into a Mexican restaurant.
Steve Verstandig — owner and operator of CityWide Properties, who purchased the Falls Road property — said he hoped to complete the deal this weekend. He declined to give the name of the man in the negotiations, saying he’d prefer to wait until the contract was finalized.
