Reston Gastropub Makers Union Makes a Big Splash in D.C., Starting With the Wharf - Eater DC
"Makers Union, Thompson Restaurants’ 4-year-old tavern in Reston, Virginia, busts out of the suburbs with a shiny new D.C. edition serving tomahawk dinners for two, “sea-cuterie” boards, and lots of brown liquors — plus a neon-lit reminder to “get nauti” in its Southwest Waterfront neighborhood. The all-day American restaurant’s second locale (664 Maine Avenue SW) sets up shop next to Milk & Honey, Thompson’s months-old destination for Southern comfort foods. The Reston-based, minority-owned hospitality group’s expansive portfolio also includes Hen Quarter, Matchbox, The Delegate, American Tap Room, and Wiseguy Pizza." - Tierney Plumb
