Our Story

Born from the spirit of the open road

Open Road is our love letter to American culture and the freedom of the highway. We built a place where that feeling lives at the table. Great plates, an easy pour, big screens for game day, and patios made for long afternoons.

It's a spot where families are welcome and neighbors become regulars, rooted in the communities we serve. Wherever the road takes you across the DC Metro area, there's a seat waiting.

CRAFT MADE SPIRITS

OPEN ROAD DISTILLING CO.

Open Road Distilling Co. is the spirits side of the Open Road family, with a working distillery and tasting room right inside Open Road Reston in Reston Town Center, Virginia. We distill our American Vodka and American Gin on-site, and hand-blend Independence Bourbon and Eagle Eye Rye from carefully selected aged whiskey. For an easy pour at home, our ready-to-drink Maple Old Fashioned is bottled and ready to serve, available at the distillery and Virginia ABC stores.

Our spirits grew out of the same restaurants you already know, shaped by busy dining rooms, late nights, and conversations that ran longer than planned. Pull up a seat at any Open Road and you'll find them behind the bar, or stop by Open Road Reston to taste them steps from where they're made.
