WASHINGTON — A Georgetown landmark for 17 years was in the process of being聽emptied out Monday, March 2.

The owner of the Rhino Bar on M Street decided not to renew his lease, so the bar closed Saturday. Everything inside, from trash cans to beer taps to sports memorabilia was auctioned off to the highest bidder Friday. On Monday,聽the auction winners聽began claiming their items.

The plastic rhino head that hung above the bar sold for $1,500, but the marble-covered downstairs bar itself, sold for just $110, likely because the person who bought it has to remove it him or herself.
