700 6th St, NW
Lots of news on spots coming near the Verizon Center this week ( Daikaya Ramen Shop and a new cocktail lounge near Fuel Pizza.) And now one more – Townhouse Kitchen & Bar is coming to 700 6th Street, NW. Their liquor license application says:
“A casual yet elegant urban restaurant and wine bar serving small plates, sandwiches, salads and entrees with a seating capacity of 243 and a total occupancy load of 301. Request a sidewalk café with 46 seats.”
Cue the “I am so sick of the small plates trend” comments in 3…2…1
I like small plates. I feel like I am a giant.
Cue the peanut gallery that makes comments about people hating small plates.
I wonder if it will be as good as Townhouse Tavern. They used to have the best battered chicken fingers.
This will be a nice lunch spot for me.
You actually ate at Townhouse Tavern? Seriously? That place was SO filthy and crawling with vermin. I mean, I had plenty of drinks there (the booze would kill off the germs) but you actually ate there??? Wow.
Wait, did Townhouse Tavern go out of business? Thank God. I didn’t even realize they served food.
Townhouse Tavern is the best bar in Dupont.
And I’m still here to talk about it.
Glad to hear it – I was beginning to wonder where you’ve been!
Oh boy, that used to be one of my favorite bars back in the day! I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been there, since I recall that you could still smoke the last time I was there.
But I’d rather go hungry than eat there!
“I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been there, since I recall that you could still smoke the last time I was there.”
I was starting to think the same thing, until I realized I didn’t start going there until after the smoking ban went into effect. I guess between the residual smoke smell that will never go away, and the staff’s lax policy towards following the laws, it still seemed like smoking was allowed.
And their Tuesday night crabfest during the summer was great too. Their Maryland Crab soup was incredible.
Fairly certain I read a while ago that it is a restaurant out of Chicago: http://www.restaurants-america.com/restaurants/6-townhouse
Why would call a restaurant “Townhouse” if it’s not actually in a townhouse? This is being added to my list of dumb restaurant names.
I guess my other comment didn’t go through with the link, but this is a restaurant out of Chicago.
One just opened in Baltimore as well
If it’s part of the same chain…They just opened one of these in Dallas at the Galleria Mall. Like OMG Becky! (shivers)
I’ve been to their recently opened Baltimore location and had a great experience. Looking forward to the new DC Townhouse!
