greaterrestonliving New brewery vibes in Herndon 🍺 Ornery Public House is now open at Woodland Park Crossing, bringing Ornery Beer Company’s third location to the Dulles corridor. They already have a taproom in Bristow and a brewpub in Fairfax City, and now there is a full service restaurant and bar just off Sunrise Valley Drive in Herndon. Inside, it feels relaxed and low key, but the food is way more elevated than your typical bar menu. We shared a lineup of apps that set the tone right away: pork belly burnt ends, a crispy shrimp appetizer, and bitterballen. The shrimp was my favorite of the three, with just enough kick and crunch to keep me going back for one more bite. For mains, I got the beet salad, which came out fresh, colorful, and surprisingly hearty, while Graham went all in on the French Dip with hand carved roast beef and an ale infused au jus that was perfect for dipping. It is exactly the kind of comfort food that pairs well with a house brewed pint after a long day around Reston and Herndon. If you want to check it out, Ornery Public House in Herndon is at 2310 Woodland Crossing Dr, Suite F, in the Harris Teeter center. They are open Sunday through Thursday from 11 am to 11 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 12 am. I love seeing spots like this fill in around our neighborhoods, giving locals one more walkable place to meet friends, grab a good meal, and enjoy a beer made right here in Northern Virginia. Have you been yet, or is it on your list for a date night or meetup soon? Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia? Text or DM me:

greaterrestonliving Booz Allen Hamilton Relocating HQ from Tysons to Reston Station 🚆🏢 Big news for the Dulles tech corridor! As reported by FFXnow, Booz Allen Hamilton (the global consulting and federal tech/AI powerhouse) is planning to move its longtime Tysons headquarters at 8283 Greensboro Drive to Reston’s emerging Reston Row district at Reston Station. The firm has signed on for a massive 310,000 square feet of office space, including the entire 9-story building at 1870 Reston Row Plaza plus multiple floors at 1800 Reston Row Plaza: trophy office space steps from the Wiehle-Reston East Metro, the new JW Marriott, luxury apartments, and a growing mix of restaurants and retail. Interior buildout is expected to start next summer, with the new HQ opening in fall 2027 and the Tysons campus being decommissioned in 2028, another major vote of confidence in Reston as the place to be for top-tier employers and talent in Northern Virginia.

greaterrestonliving Comment “Sweathouz” to win 2 free 60 minute sessions for you and a guest (and yes, I will count “sweathouse,” “sweat houz,” and a few other creative spellings) 🧖‍♀️❄️ If your shoulders are tight from the commute or your legs are cooked from the W&OD, Sweathouz Reston might be your new recovery spot. This contrast therapy studio at RTC West gives you a private suite with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and vitamin C shower for a full 60 minute reset. For my first visit, I followed their suggested flow. I started with 10 to 15 minutes in the infrared sauna to warm up and loosen everything, then took a quick vitamin C shower to rinse off and refresh before stepping into the cold plunge. Two to three minutes in that tub feels intense at first, but it is amazing for inflammation, circulation, and that clear, calm feeling once you get your breathing under control. Each suite has its own controls, TV, and a spa like feel, plus there is a beauty bar outside the rooms with mirrors, dryers, and space to get ready before you head back out into Reston. It is a nice balance of science backed recovery and a little bit of everyday luxury. Sweathouz Reston is located at 12100 Sunset Hills Rd, Suite R9 in Reston Town Center West, with plenty of free surface parking for up to 3 hours. They are open seven days a week, Monday through Friday 7 am to 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8 am to 5 pm, so you can fit a session in before work, after the gym, or as a weekend reset. Comment “Sweathouz” to win 2 free 60 minute sessions for you and a guest (and yes, your “sweathouse” and “sweat houz” comments still count) 🧊 Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?
