ARLINGTON, VA — An Arlington venue landed near the top of a new MarketBeat survey looking at where business leaders in Virginia celebrate professional milestones.

Salt, located at 201 Wilson Blvd., g113, in Rosslyn ranked No. 2 on the list, behind Esoteric in Virginia Beach and ahead of The Jasper in Richmond, according to the financial media company’s survey of 3,015 business leaders.

The survey focused on what MarketBeat described as Virginia’s unofficial celebration circuit, or the places respondents associate with marking promotions, pay raises, bonus payouts and completed deals.
