I never went to Purr when it was across the street from The Stranger, and I never went to Purr when it was in Montlake, but—ICYMI—it’s dead. Sunday, July 29, was its final day open for business. SeattlePI.com called it “the Purr-fect end,” although I’m not sure why. Its chicken quesadilla was $18.25.
From the Facebook page of owner Barbie Roberts:
Letting Go is Never Easy……..
Dear Friends,
These past 13 years have brought many blessings to my life. Purr was a place to call home. It was this home that brought many of you into my life. I’ve made many friendships over the years and have created many wonderful memories in which I will never forget. As we all go through life, some of us go our separate ways. It’s always hard letting go, but just know, you’ve impacted my life for the better.I’d like to thank each of my amazing Employees whom I’ve had a pleasure to work with over the years. You made me very proud every single day. You brought something truly special to this home. We were a family. For this, I will be forever grateful.
I also would like to thank my Family for sticking by me through thick and thin. Mom, Dad, and Debbie, you’re the best a girl could ask for. I love you dearly.
The time has come for me to move on, and retire this “Kitty Bar”. Today, Sunday 7/29, from 2-10pm, I will be working behind the bar saying my final farewell’s. Its been a real honor to have served you all these years and have you in my home. If you get a chance, please stop by.
What will I do next? Only time will tell. Relax a bit, I hope.
If I don’t see you, please know this is never “Goodbye”…Love you All
Forever Your Friend,Barbie
R.I.P.
