Silver Diner Ballpark

Silver Diner returned to CORE to partner on the delivery of the iconic brand’s first location in Washington, DC. Given the potential of the site across from Nationals Park, the team made careful decisions to capitalize on this prominent corner location, leading to the creation of a flagship interpretation of the Silver Diner brand. The restaurant chain’s first dual concept features Silver Diner on the first floor and introduces Silver Social, a sophisticated bar and lounge, on the second floor. This second level provides stunning views to the ballpark from its expansive terrace while being highly visible from the street level. The interior design is consistent with the Silver Diner brand but enhanced by the site’s unique verticality resulting in unique design features, including the majestic staircase connecting both floors. The building storefront showcases traditional Silver Diner features of polished stainless steel mixed with branding elements that make the restaurant and bar stand out to deliver a captivating city experience. The creation of Silver Social establishes a whole new dynamic and energy for the Silver Diner family of brands. Offering a unique experience, the design successfully ties together the dual bar and restaurant concept in one location, while remaining true to the brand’s timeless, welcoming, and approachable spirit.
