November 2009


This December, Punk’s will be hosting two classes on how to make holiday cocktails!

The first will be held on Saturday December 12th at 2:00pm, where we’ll be making Punk’s Winter Punch.  We will be mixing up a party size pitcher of the cocktail, which combines citrus fruits, rum, brandy and spiced simple syrup for a festive holiday drink. Just in time for the holidays, this drink is great for entertaining.

The second seminar will be held on Saturday December 19th at 2:00pm and will have a New Year’s Eve theme. We’ll be pouring champagne cocktails and house-made bitters, showcasing a number of flavored bitters that are easy to make at home.   We’re certain you’ll be able to impress your fellow party-goers with these techniques.

Registration is open until the Friday preceding each class at 5:00pm. Cost is $10 per seminar or $18 for both, which includes a cocktail and light food.  We imagine it will be quite a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Space is limited, so call or email us at the restaurant to make your reservations today.

We know you’re busy.  Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and everyone is scrambling to make the final preparations to entertain the in-laws.  So why don’t you let Punk’s take on some of the burden and pre-order our homemade pies for the holidays!

In case you missed them, here are links to a few press pieces that came out about Punk’s and Punk’s related things over the last couple weeks.  There are some more items in the hopper, so stay tuned!

We Love DC: Check out this piece about Dave mixing up some cocktails with the folks from the GREAT blog welovedc.com.  They mixed up the Punk’s Winter Punch and drank champagne cocktails.

Annapolis Capital: The Annapolis Capital showed up at at the “Taste of Westfield Annapolis” event recently and did a brief write up of the event, including pictures that show Sheila working the Punk’s table.

Baltimore Examiner: Here is a piece by Tamar Fleishman in the Baltimore Examiner about the new fall menu items at Punk’s. And a nice slideshow to boot.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and Happy Holidays!

We’ve been testing out new soups over the last few weeks and yesterday brought a new addition with the introduction of our fall squash bisque!

A combination of butternut squash, rutabaga, carrot, green apple, onion, and some other fine fall root vegetables, the new squash soup includes a bounty of now-in-season produce.  Tis’ the season for root vegetables and warm soup! And in case you missed our previous offerings, there was a smokey black bean soup with applewood smoked bacon, roasted jalapenos and an array of vegetables, as well as a rich sweet potato soup with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. But don’t worry, we’ll be rotating soups all winter long.

Vote in the poll below and let us know what you’re favorite soups are. You never know, if might just show up one day at Punk’s!
