The Brickskeller was established in 1957, by father and son Felix and Maurice Coja, as well as their wives Marie and June, the parents and grandparents of Diane Alexander who, with her husband Dave, is the current owner. June died in 1998 and Maurice sold out his shares to Diane in 2004. The Brickskeller as well as offshoot RFD are run by Diane, Dave, and their sons.

The Brickskeller is located near Dupont Circle on the edge of Georgetown, in the Marifex Hotel (now the Brickskeller Inn) building.  With 1,032 choices of bottled beer on the beer list, the Brickskeller is listed in Guinness World Records as “the bar with the largest selection of commercially available beers.”
