You will have a new restaurant option at Capital One Center in Tysons in April as Stellina Pizzeria opens its fourth location. And Starr Hill Brewery will expand its footprint there ahead of the center’s May signature event, Perchfest.
Stellina Pizzeria, ranked one of Northern Virginia Magazine’s best pizza joints, has another location in Shirlington and two in DC’s Mount Vernon and Union Market neighborhoods.
At Capital One Center, Stellina will have both indoor and outdoor seating and a glass-enclosed commissary kitchen.
Starr Hill Brewery will open a new street-level brew pub in late April. “Once open, the Starr Hill Brew Pub will complement the Biergarten on the Perch and will offer an expanded culinary menu combined with the amazing Starr Hill brand craft beer, plus wine and spirits that our DMV fans have come to love,” the brewery said. It will have two bars and more than 20 beers on tap and an Americana-themed menu.
Capital One Center said Starr Hill will host live music after Perchfest ends on May 3 and 4 for “guests who want to keep the party going!”
Perchfest this year will have a retro theme and guests are encouraged to wear 1980s and 1990s clothing.
“This will be our sixth Perchfest — and each year the event grows. Our community asked for a throwback theme, and we listened! We can’t wait to host the ultimate retro party,” said Meghan Trossen, spokeswoman for Capital One Center.
The biannual event is free and weather-dependent. People are encouraged to donate to Miriam’s Kitchen, a nonprofit working to end homelessness in the DC area. So far, $25,000 of a $30,000 goal has been raised, Capital One Center said.
