Sinistral set their sights on Historic Downtown Manassas, looking for a place that you could stop by after work, and feel like you were already home. The flavor of the experience, building a sense of community, is just important to the Perrys as their product.
Everything about Sinistral, from an inviting space that flows from taproom, to patio, to lounge, from a tap list that is light on boozy brews, beckons people to relax and linger over memorable conversations.
Sinistral is also family-friendly, by design. The couple’s two boys excitedly pitch in behind-the-scenes, and you will find them (virtually) behind the bar: Grey and Jackson, along with the children of brewery partners, Celeste and Ben Easlick, each have a signature beer named after them, lending a youthful whimsy to the brews.
That whimsical sense can be felt throughout Sinistral. At the end of the day, Blane sees himself as a Purveyor of Happiness: creating a gathering spot where the world slows down enough that you can catch up a little.
