Robert Powell, III// May 11, 2016//
A Washington Redskins-themed restaurant is scheduled to hold its grand opening on May 20-22 at the One Loudoun mixed-use development in Loudoun County.
The Hail & Hog Kitchen and Tap will occupy more than 12,000 square feet on two levels at 20376 Exchange St. in Ashburn, the home of Redskins Park, the team’s headquarters.
The restaurant is a collaboration between the Redskins and G3 Restaurants. The Hail & Hog is G3’s fifth professional football-themed restaurant. The others are in Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh; Indianapolis and Houston.
The restaurant’s name pays tribute to two elements of Redskins lore. The team’s fight song is “Hail to Redskins” and the offensive line during 1980s and 1990s was known as “the Hogs.”
For private events, Hail & Hog can accommodate 200 guests on the first level and 100 people on the second level.
The restaurant will have a broadcast studio designed for the Redskins to host radio and television shows. When not in use by the team, the studio may be reserved for private events.
The Hail & Hog’s décor will feature Redskins colors, including burgundy leather with gold accents, and have rotating displays of team memorabilia. There will be 57 ultra high-definition televisions throughout the restaurant.
The upper level will have its own entrance and feature a fire pit and a rooftop bar.
