A nostalgic, candy-colored American eatery is coming to the H Street corridor, courtesy of a brand new restaurant group. Purl, opening Friday, June 30, is an eclectic concept that aims to cover a lot of ground: zany cocktail bar and family-friendly restaurant. Short rib pappardelle, piri-piri chicken, Thai-inspired fried calamari, and a burger all find their way onto the menu.
What the globally inspired dishes all have in common are their comfort roots. The restaurant’s classic burger is ground daily from a blend of short rib and brisket, and the spicy, Portuguese-inspired piri-piri chicken comes with mashed sweet potatoes and roasted broccolini. Housemade thick-cut potato chips are drizzled with onion remoulade. There’s also lobster-and-truffle mac and cheese as well as a ribeye with fries and truffle butter.
The Root Beer Flip, with blended Scotch and amontillado sherry, gets a garnish of root beer-flavored Dum Dums. Non-alcoholic cocktails will be announced soon. Purl occupies a 111-year-old townhouse that was most recently home to Hikari Sushi, with exposed brick arches and bright floral furniture. The 88-seat restaurant will be open for dinner every day from 4 PM to 12 AM, with an outdoor garden open in summer.“Casual concept neighborhood spots are our thing,” Jack says. “That’s where we’re comfortable.”
