If you love scenic rooftop sipping, mark your calendar: SYN Rooftop Bar & Lounge is opening on March 1. It’s the first rooftop bar with outdoor seating in the Reston Town Center.
The bar will be open year-round and offers indoor and outdoor seating. It’s located above the 16th floor of the AC Hotel & Residence Inn by Marriott Reston.
“We’re so thrilled to bring SYN to life in the heart of Reston,” said Ceren Hunt, the restaurant’s food and beverage director. “Great hospitality isn’t just about serving food and drinks — it’s about creating a space where people feel welcome, connected, and taken care of. At SYN, every detail is designed to make guests feel at home, whether they’re here for a quick cocktail or a long, lingering evening with friends.”
SYN will offer a variety of cocktails, such as a Gin de Jardin, made with cucumber infused Beefeater gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and mint topped with a few drops of sesame oil. For a smoky sip, the Forbidden Orchard is made with Banhez mezcal and mixed with pomegranate juice, lemon, agave, and aquafaba.
The food menu, curated by executive chef Alexis Hernandez, includes shareable plates and choices like ricotta served with walnut raisin bread, aged balsamic, and honey; and wagyu sliders served with sweet and spicy pickles and coleslaw.
Starting March 1, SYN will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.
