Wayne Johnson is a nationally recognized innovator and entrepreneur. Most notable contributions are in the field of tech & hospitality.
Wayne opened Saint Yves in 2017. The 4,000 sq/ft nightclub is widely considered DC’s most luxurious venue and a hotbed for celebrity sightings. After the success of Saint Yves, Wayne and his team sought to open a smaller, more intimate nightclub that could be a compliment to Saint Yves. Abigail, also located in Dupont Circle, was opened in 2018 and was an instant success. With a VIP bottle service oriented clientele, Abigail is often considered to be the “hardest door in the city”, which translates to being difficult to get into on any given night.
