Ornery Beer Company Public House plans new restaurant in Herndon

Ornery Beer Company Public House is officially coming to Herndon.

The restaurant and pub, which already has locations in Fairfax and Manassas, is set to open at Arrowbrook Centre (2340 Silver Arrow Way), a development that is currently under construction at the intersection of the Dulles Toll Road and Centreville Road.

The business was started by Randy Barnette, a craft beer enthusiast and restaurant owner, in 2015 to offer a “more casual stye” brewpub. He’s also behind other concepts in the area, including Hard Times Cafe in Manassas and Mad Fox Brewing in Falls Church.

Barnette estimated the location will open in the third or fourth quarter of 2023, emphasizing that the expected opening is an estimate.

The full-service restaurant will include a three-barrel brewery.

“Our brewing capacity is supplemented by our production brewery in Bristow. Our business model is smaller pub-like restaurants with scratch kitchens, no walk-in freezers, offering great food that pairs well with our beer,” Barnette said.

Barnette said he chose the location because of the business demographics of the area and the mixed-use nature of the project. Herndon is also home to Barnette, who grew up from Herndon and graduated from Herndon High School. He now lives in Bristow.

Items on the menu include variety of beer and ciders, soups, salads, and pizzas.

The Arrowbrook Centre development is planned for more than 600,000 square feet of office space across three buildings,

The initial phases of the development will include 34,000 square feet of ground floor retail and a 274-unit apartment building. Additional development is planned.
