DOH inspectors came calling on St. Mark's Place Friday… and both the Belgian Room …
… and Hop Devil Grill were temporarily closed for the weekend for unspecified violations (the reports were not online just yet)…
Both spaces have signs on the door noting they are closed "due to electrical issues."

There isn't any mention of the closures on either bar's website or social media accounts.
Meanwhile, Ton-Up Cafe, which is between The Belgian Room and Hop Devil Grill, is also closed…
Not much info on the sign on the door…
The cafe opened in April 2013 … and serves paninis named in honor of Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry and Elvis.
One of the owners here also operates Falanghina, the pizzeria which remains open at the former Whole Earth Bakery across the street.

The Belgian Room and Hop Devil Grill are BACK open.
I've had drinks a few times at Hop Devil over the years, but I ate there for the first and last time a few months ago. The food was pretty terrible, but more notable was a mouse scuttling around the dining room. Nothing to get indignant about, but needless to say this recent DOH development makes sense.
