Starr Hill Brewery To Open At Skypark Atop Capital One Hall
The Perch, a skypark at the Capital One Center development, is expected to open in summer 2021.
TYSONS, VA — As work continues on the next phase of the Capital One Center development, Starr Hill Brewery announced it will be part of the development's skypark space called The Perch.
The Albemarle County-based Starr Hill Brewery will lease biergarten space at the 1.2 acre skypark, The Perch, atop Capital One Hall. The Starr Hill Biergarten will feature over 5,000 square feet of outdoor dining and lounge space. Diners will find a biergarten-themed menu and a full bar highlighted by Starr Hill's own beers.
"Starr Hill’s brand and reputation within the craft beer community, as well as their experience in the live music scene, will further establish The Perch as a unique destination for Tysons and the Greater Washington region," said Jonathan Griffith, managing director of Capital One Center, in a statement.
