“Juneberry Garage: A New Gathering Place Opens Its Doors

Get ready to sip, snack, and socialize at Juneberry Garage, the latest addition to the historic Walter Reed campus. Partners Josh Saltzman, Chris Powers, Robin Webb, Trent Allen, Jeremy Riley and Gladys Kamau are hard at work transforming the historic auto body shop into a bar and restaurant. But in the meantime, they’ve set up shop to serve seasonal snacks and beverages on the patio from a vintage airstream trailer.

The expansive patio will also be a great place for dogs to bring their owners after visits to the adjacent dog park. This initial offering provides a taste of what’s to come as the restaurant prepares to unveil its full kitchen and bar next year, designed by CORE architecture + design.
