Inspired by bourbon, bonded to tradition.

OUR STORY

Rebellion Bourbon Bar & Kitchen

True American spirit is distilled from the heart of the revolutionary – bold, passionate, rebellious. Our country was put to the test during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1792-1794, and to this day, Rebellion Bourbon Bar & Kitchen draws inspiration from our rich, shared history.

Located in Fredericksburg and Leesburg, Virginia, we offer a seasonally rich and locally sourced menu and then pair it with a selection from our collection of over 170 varieties of award-decorated bourbon, whiskey and spirits.

Pull up a seat and let us show you what we’ve been working on; we believe every table is meant to be shared.

CULINARY DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE CHEF, BORN REVOLUTIONARY

Meet Chef Declan Horgan

Rebellious leaders are born at the crossroads of passion and fate – and we are proud to have Chef Declan Horgan as the creative force behind our menus. The Irish know a thing or two about living a contrarian way of life, and Chef Declan brings that energy from Ireland to his adopted home of Washington D.C.

Declan has experienced the culinary world writ large; leading Michelin star kitchens across Europe and the U.S., placing as a finalist in Hell’s Kitchen (Season 19), and competing in Guy’s Grocery Games. Recognized for his bold take and even bolder flavors, Declan blends flavors from classic French cuisine to hearty Irish favorites – fearlessly pushing culinary boundaries whenever possible.

Now he continues his legacy by infusing his experience into the traditional American classics at Rebellion Bourbon Bar & Kitchen.
