Manifest 002 has touched down in Union Market—and if you’re looking for the new spot that has everything you didn’t know you needed, this is it. Haircuts? Check. Boutique shopping? Yep. Chef-driven dining and cocktails? Absolutely. A speakeasy for when you’re not ready to go home yet? Say less.
This isn’t just a venue opening—it feels like the culture just leveled up.
From Adams Morgan to Union Market
The first Manifest in Adams Morgan showed us what it looks like when grooming, style, and community collide. It was more than a barbershop—it was a vibe, a clubhouse, a place that felt like home. Manifest 002 takes that same energy and turns it all the way up.
The new space is nearly 10,000 square feet of pure intention. Every corner was designed to flow like your day: light and airy when you’re starting fresh, moody and magnetic when the night calls. It’s giving “choose your own adventure,” but with style.
What You’ll Find Inside
The Barbershop
Still the heartbeat. Walk in for a cut and you’ll feel it immediately—this isn’t just about grooming, it’s about ritual. And yes, there’s an apothecary stocked with everything to keep you sharp in between visits.
The Boutique
Fashion meets gallery vibes. Elevated fits, sneakers, and Manifest’s own “Of Us” line sit side by side like art pieces. You might walk out with a hoodie, you might walk out with a statement piece—either way, you’re walking out styled.
(H)ours Restaurant + Cocktails
Chef Erik Bruner-Yang is running the kitchen, which means the menu is hitting different. Think caviar on Peking duck bites, whole fried lobster, and pastas that make you pause mid-conversation. The drinks? A love letter to the city—like the “Mumbo or Mild” cocktail, inspired by DC’s signature sauce, or the “House Remix,” a mix of espresso, black tea, coconut, and oat milk that sounds wild but works perfectly.
The Speakeasy
Because Manifest knows the night doesn’t end at dinner. Tucked away, the lounge turns up after dark with DJs, cocktails, and a new kind of energy.
The Membership
Starting at $75/month, membership unlocks perks, private spaces, and exclusive events. But here’s the thing—Manifest makes it clear: the door is open. Membership just sweetens the deal.
Why This Matters
Manifest 002 isn’t just another restaurant, barbershop, or boutique—it’s a blueprint for how culture moves. In a city that’s always juggling scenes—food here, nightlife there, fashion over there—Manifest said, why not put it all under one roof?
Union Market has been the hub for creatives, foodies, and innovators for years. Now, with Manifest 002 anchoring the block, it feels like DC just gained a cultural headquarters.
This is where you bring your people for dinner, stay for cocktails, hit the speakeasy after, and maybe even schedule a fresh cut before the weekend. It’s lifestyle. It’s community. It’s DC at its most stylish.
Manifest 002 is more than a space—it’s a statement. A reminder that Black-led creativity, design, and entrepreneurship are shaping the city in real time.
