Cashion’s has long been an Adams Morgan neighborhood spot, but it’s adding one more incentive for regulars: a bar food menu, launching this Thursday.
Offered during normal dinner hours, the lineup of new dishes supplements one of our favorite late-night menus, which run at the bar on Friday and Saturday nights from midnight until 2. Fortunately you won’t have to wait until the wee hours for the new dishes from chef John Manolatos, such as a juicy pork burger topped with grilled onions, cornichon, and Gruyère, crispy potatoes with garlic aïoli, and house-made pork rinds. You’ll also find a new cocktail list with riffs on the classics, like a Manhattan made with fig-infused Bulleit Bourbon and a mint julep mixed with the bartender favorite Fernet Branca. (See samples of both menus below.)
You may want to try it out on night one, but if you can hold off, the Cashion’s crew is offering $2 off all of the new plates on Friday (which all currently clock in at under ten bucks). Also look for a few Oktoberfest specials starting Saturday.
