Washington,
DC – September 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: Celebrated for its fresh, globally
inspired cuisine, signature cocktails and elevated hospitality, Moxies
will open its first Washington, D.C. location at the end of this year and
ninth location in the US.
Situated
at 1111 20th Street NW, just south of Dupont Circle, the new flagship restaurant
will be led by Brandon
Thordarson. Recently transitioning from his longtime role as Director
of Culinary and Executive Chef to owner and Franchise partner, Brandon’s
personal decision to invest in the brand and relocate his family to Washington
represents a milestone in Moxies’ US expansion. The move continues to highlight
Brandon’s deep commitment to Moxies’ success. Over the past decade, he
has played a key role in the restaurant’s entry into the American market,
including the opening of the Dallas and Houston locations. His insider
knowledge and passion for the brand now translates into operational leadership,
ensuring the Washington restaurant delivers on the quality and consistency
that defines Moxies nationwide.
“I’ve
spent more than a decade helping grow Moxies in the US, and it’s incredibly
rewarding to apply that experience here in Washington,” said Thordarson.
“There’s nothing quite like Moxies – our focus on high-quality food, cocktails,
hospitality and an atmosphere with an incredible vibe sets us apart. I’m
excited to plant roots here and build something special for the community.”

ambition takes shape in the 8,000+ square-foot restaurant, complete with
a modern dining room, bold statement bar and an atmosphere designed to
host both lively celebrations and intimate nights out. Guests will experience
Moxies’ signature chef-driven cuisine, handcrafted cocktails and contemporary
design, all delivered with a premium energy unlike anything else in the
neighborhood.
“Brandon’s
dedication to Moxies and his deep understanding of our brand makes him
the perfect leader for our Washington, D.C. debut,” said Joanne
Forrester, President & Chief Operating Officer of Moxies Restaurants.
“It
is exciting as we further expand our presence in the U.S. and bring our
signature hospitality, artful culinary and vibrant atmosphere to this dynamic
city. This opening reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional
experiences for every guest, every time.”
