Chris DeNino

Bar Manager

Chris’s journey with Long Shot Hospitality began at Dauphine’s, where his passion for service and craft cocktails laid the foundation for a career behind the bar. From there, he helped open The Salt Line Bethesda before moving on to The Salt Line in Ballston, gaining valuable experience in leadership and bar operations. Eventually, his journey came full circle, bringing him back to Dauphine’s, the place where it all started.

Throughout his career in DC and Maryland, Chris has operated and developed multiple bar programs, including 600T. His attention to detail and genuine love for craft cocktails have shaped his approach to hospitality, making him a natural fit for Longshot Hospitality.

With a deep appreciation for classic cocktails and the rich cocktail traditions of New Orleans, Chris brings both experience and creativity to the bar. When he’s not behind the bar, you’ll find him hiking, playing golf, cooking, or catching a live concert.
