Calico, the latest concept from partners Nathan Beauchamp and Greg Algie of Tiger Fork and The Fainting Goat, is a restaurant, bar and urban backyard located in the District's historic Blagden Alley.
Calico features Eastern shore-inspired elevated cookout-style fare as well as a beverage program that includes shareable large format cocktails and growlers, reflecting Calico's relaxed, communal atmosphere.
Calico's interior features an industrial-style bar with feminine, floral accents, pink tile, and elegant wood picnic tables. The outdoor space boasts a 3,000-square-foot patio with communal tables surrounding a large vintage greenhouse, which holds additional seating or large semi-private parties. Patio accents include string lights, lanterns, a grill in the summer months and creeping ivy and grape vines to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
