Jeff Sacchet:
Blackfinn American Saloon
Blackfinn American Saloon recently opened its ninth and newest location at 1620 I Street NW in the Golden Triangle just one block from the White House. Jeff Sacchet, Operating Partner for Blackfinn, finds himself at Blackfinn during the work week and flying back home to see his family in Ohio on the weekends—not normal restauranteur behavior but typical for Washington, DC.
"Blackfinn is a fun, comfortable place to come for sports, for events, for so much else," Jeff said. "We offer really great comfort food—great hamburgers, filets, sandwiches, and a unique cheesesteak that is made in-house."
The dark wood paneling and cushy booths confirm what Jeff knows to be true: Blackfinn is a great place to grab a beer and a burger and just unwind with friends or colleagues. With DJs on the weekend spinning tunes you can sing to, Blackfinn is sure to become a staple hangout for workers in the area. Learn more about Blackfinn»
