The full press release is below, after the jump. “We’ve been seeing an uptick in people staying in Rosslyn after work and visiting on the weekends, so now they’ll have even more opportunities to enjoy our neighborhood.” “Rosslyn has a population of foodies who have been craving cocktail bars like Salt and award-winning gathering places like Open Road,” said Mary-Claire Burick, president of Rosslyn BID. The head of the Rosslyn Business Improvement District said the new drinking and dining establishments will serve visitors as well as locals. Open Road will seat 16 at the bar, 66 in the dining room and 54 on a seasonal, outdoor patio, while Salt, on the bottom floor, will be a more intimate venue. “Reclaimed wood, an American flag mural, a suspended Harley Davidson Fatboy motorcycle, and paintings of Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Springsteen from local artist Jack Labadie adorn the space,” the company said in a press release. The decor at Open Road will be Americana “inspired by music and the great outdoors.”

Salt is described as “a hidden and cozy cocktail bar featuring an array of classic and seasonal cocktails” - “an entirely new concept” from the company. Open Road is an award-winning bar and grill that is expanding to a second location, from its original Merrifield spot. Open Road and Salt will both open on Tuesday at 1201 Wilson Blvd in Central Place Plaza, according to owner Metropolitan Hospitality Group. A new watering hole for Rosslyn office-dwellers and residents is planning to open next week.
