The Blackwall Barn & Lodge To Open In HoCo This Fall Featuring Locally Sourced Menu Items

The Blackwall Barn & Lodge will open this fall in the Merriweather District. It specializes in seasonal, locally sourced menu items.

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The second location of The Blackwall Barn & Lodge restaurant will open in Columbia this September.

Slated for the Merriweather District, the eatery will offer seasonally driven and locally sourced menu items along with live music. Local farmers, watermen and ranchers will become partners with the restaurant as it relies on fresh ingredients produced within a 100-mile radius of the restaurant.

The new location sits on the ground floor of the residential building, Marlow, and offers 12,000 square feet of space with each room telling its own story. The Blackwall Barn & Lodge will provide a venue unlike any other in Howard County with six unique areas for guests to dine in elegance, host special events and entertain friends, family and colleagues, the owners noted.
