This multi-use development presents over 25 new restaurants and night clubs, plus the Anthem: a 6,000-person general capacity state-of-the-art live concert venue that is now a must-visit stop on all major artists’ tours. The Wharf also offers outdoor markets, local DC-only shopping, watersports, and a lively street scene all along a marina-side promenade and three public piers.
