Ironwood Tavern Comes to Leesburg

A ribbon cutting was held Wednesday morning to celebrate the grand opening of Ironwood Tavern in Leesburg. 

The new business highlights the art of cooking with wood to enhance bold flavors not found with other cooking methods. Menu prices range from $8 to $22 and incorporates local, seasonal products, such as beef, pork, poultry, seafood and fresh produce, and features two dozen craft beers. 

Owner and Loudoun County resident Sam Avadhi worked with consultant Artie Simcox to develop the concept and design of Ironwood Tavern. Both men have extensive restaurant ownership and management experience.

Peter Mirguet, also a seasoned restaurant professional with ownership and management experience, is the General Manager. David Judge and Paul Kincaid are the assistant managers. 

“The support and enthusiasm from the community for our local business has been humbling and overwhelming. I could not have picked a better place to start my business,” Avadhi said. “A lot of talented and hard working people have made this possible.” 

Economic Development Manager Marantha Edwards said Ironwood Tavern’s innovative approach and depth of culinary experience – and the sixty jobs they are creating – are welcome additions to Leesburg’s independent restaurant marketplace.
