The Satellite Room will be the newest venture from the Hilton Brothers who most recently opened the Brixton nearby at 9th and U St, NW. The Satellite Room will focus on burgers and tacos. On the drink side, in addition to a proper bar and a focus on beer, they will offer adult milkshakes. It will likely open in mid to late September. Though the seating wasn’t set up and the space wasn’t decorated yet, I was able to take a look and was amazed at how large the space is:
There is also is a nice outdoor area with a separate bar:
