• Since 2019, Matron Fine Beer has been helmed by longtime friends Jes Nettleton, Mallory Jones and Justin da Silva, shown bottom left. Driven by ambition, inspired by beer and a love of hospitality, the pals-turnedbusiness partners had been brewing the idea a long time before opening their own space.

• Longtime friend and chef Charlotte Langley, shown bottom right, opened Chef Char's Snack Shack at Matron. A seafaring soul, Langley brings East Coast hospitality to the fore — thoughtful dishes and perfectly cooked seafood, all served with a hearty and joyous disposition, thanks in part to Jake Taylor, shown top right, who manages the day-to-day operations.
