39 Best Beer Bars near Alexandria

“In town for a conference and this place is perfect for solo dining. Bartenders and servers were welcoming and helpful. Delicious wine list, and a fun selection of cheeses and charcuterie. Onion jam was special. The assortment of breads served with the cheeseboard were warm from the oven, it’s a small touch, but it’s not often done. Only thing I would change is to offer a wine flight so I could try several different wines.“

“Love the food from this restaurant. The quality of their food is better than some other restaurants charging twice the price. We get the bulgogi, spicy pork, mandoo, and fried chicken. We get the soy chicken because their hot chicken is too hot for me but go for it if you can handle it.“

“Far as I know, there are 3 of these, and they're all great.The one in Woodbridge is old, but the food and service is still GREAT. This particular one though, is top notch all around.Been coming here for years and I've never had anything but great food and service. On top of that, the decor and atmosphere is just plain awesome.“

“Awesome evening!!! Great friends and great food!!“

“Friendly dogs! Good craft beer!“

“Phenomenally tasty pizza...flavorful homemade crusts with a great selection of sauces and toppings. The wings were dang good, too. Perhaps the best part of our visit was meeting our server, Trey -- welcoming, personable, attentive and over-the-top responsive. He's one of the best! (P.S. Save some room for frozen custard as dessert next door at the Custard Shack...also great!)Parking: We visited on a Friday night during rush hour, probably the busiest time...so just a bit tough to find parking.“

“Stopped in here with the family some apps and drinks. The pretzel and wings were both good. The atmosphere was good, but there was a quirk to the dining room set up. Our table was right next to the server station. The station is behind a chain curtain, but you can plainly see into the area. Kind of kills the ambiance. Seems like they should better block out that wall and just go through the other entrance to the space.“

“black OWNED great atmosphere, real people“

“Food was wonderful along with the drinks and service, very attentive.“

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again“

“Bistro Cacao was an outstanding choice to cater lunch for a very important business meeting. The food was AMAZING, from appetizers, salad, main course and dessert! Highly recommend them for your next event, meeting or just a fine place to dine!! Great Service, Great Food, Great Presentation!“

“I was in DC for a couple of days and after a day of sightseeing, was ready to chill and grab some beers. I'm a huge craft beer fan and saw that Other Half's DC location was pretty close to where I was staying. I've had quite a few of their beers and also been to their brewery in Brooklyn, which was boss. This location was equally good. I ended up getting four beers, two NEIPA's, which were both really good and fresh and also two barrel aged beers, one was great, the other not so much. Service was on point and the guy behind the bar was very friendly and accommodating. It is a large space with outdoor seating and there was a quiz going on while I was there. You can also buy beer to take away too.“

“Clean, quick service, normal wait time for food. Real sliced beef on the nachos. See attached pic for details.“

“Good beer, fantastic service, Nice environment“

“We have been hunting for a great bowl of ramen and this place is it! I had my favorite, tan ten men and my husband had champon. The best we have had since moving here from NYC.“

“Really delicious, cat-themed restaurant with the same vibe as its counterpart, Lost Dog Cafe. My burger was juicy and flavorful and the cocktails were spectacular — pricey — but super fresh and creative.Vegetarian options: All burgers come with a vegetarian option and most of the other sandwiches are riffs on a grilled cheese.Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, but the spaces are a bit tight.“

“Awesome break! Fun atmosphere ! Great location“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“I love this "sports bar" they always have an available chess board to use and have a tube that is always playing movies from "back in my day."Five literal stars across the board. Tons of GOATed foods and beers but i'm not telling you, so you can take my seat and leaving me waitng for a seat. No way, brotha eww.“

“This eatery gave me a compelling reason to give 5-stars. They were pleasantly polite and respectful. The place was extremely clean and had a friendly ambiance with tidy table. I enjoyed the food which was ready in 10min. Overall, a great experience. Enough parking available if you drive.“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“I came into the establishment around 215 to 20 and I waited at least 5 to 7 minutes for someone to notice me and come take my order. Some of the kitchen staff was watching me and I could tell they wanted to help but they were mending their stations the lady taking my order was not very helpful. She didn’t say hi to me. She simply stood in front of me didn’t seem to interested in my order so I had to figure out how to order exactly what I wanted since it was my first time the steak and cheese was delicious however so I will give it a four stars for the quality of the food but not very good customer service I’m not in the mood of going back and paying what I paid for awful customer service“

“Love trivia night it’s excellent“

“Literally my favorite place in the area. Food is incredible from around the globe, service is outstanding no matter who it is, and the atmosphere is amazing! It gives you a concert venue feel with an amazing sound system. They book the best bands and have different themes during the week. There’s something for everyone here!“

“Amazing restaurant ❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“OMG as soon as I wheeled myself into the place Cashier Jeannette greeted me with open arms she went over the menu with me she also recommended me what to get the atmosphere was excellent pictures on the wall of DC GoGo and DC dignitaries the place was in immaculate shape very clean and also the bathroom the meal was awesome I ordered the Original Burger and it was cooked to perfection and also delicious it was an old school Cheeseburger I recommend this spot to all of my friends and it’s Black owned they are very professional I will definitely be back great job“

“Check out "The Spot".. there's 6 restaurants inside. It's like a mini Union Market. Mostly Asian or Korean food but they do have a soul food place and a Boba/ smoothie place. There's also a bar in the center. Pool table and plenty of seating. Parking isn't an issue. There are other restaurants near by. I ate at the Korean taco spot and got a rice bowl with bulgogi. Good portion of food, priced well, and very tasty. I like the multi-restaurant buildings. It gives you the opportunity to try different places and have something salty/ savory and sweet.“

“Have to say I slept on this place for years because of the name… and I’m sure you will agree, whatever it actually means. Anyway, decided to try it and I was impressed!! The sandwich was a generous size, super tasty, and the environment inside is nice!! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great burger cooked perfect. Good atmosphere good service.“

“Bottomless Brunch $33. All of their food is very very fresh tasting and delicious.“

“Wine store and bar in one. Relaxed ambiance and great wine. The bar gets pretty full around 4-5 but for good reason everyone likes to hangout here especially after work. If you end up really liking a wine you can buy a bottle from the store section which I appreciated“

“Went for weekend brunch and everything was delicious. Avocado toast and burritos made vegetarian were all great. The cinnamon rolls are amazing!Vegetarian options: Although you wouldn’t expect a restaurant with fried chicken in the name to cater to vegetarians there are a handful of delicious options especially for brunch. It was very easy to make modification's. We substituted the meat for avocado in the breakfast burrito and avocado toast was already vegetarian. They also do Oatmilk lattes. There are a lot of apps without meat and both an impossible and mushroom burger.“

“Just happened to drive by Paradiso and decided to stop for a lite meal. Ordered the New Year's 4-Pork Special 12" pizza with pepperoni, salami, sausage, basil, asiago, and mozzarella cheese, minus the prosciutto (cutting down the salt intake) You can taste the spices in the red sauce. The pizza is not overwhelmed with cheese, but the cheese combination is delicious. The crust was lite and crisp. It was piping hot and stayed relatively hot to warm as we enjoyed this deliciously wood-fired pizza, with nothing left but crumbs. We paired it with the Homebrew award winning Paradiso Dunkelweizen beer, a nice Mellow taste. Great for a non-beer connoisseur. Okay, great corner location with free parking lot next door and street parking. Nice decor with plenty of seating inside with full panel glass doors that open to the patio during the hot summer days. Covered patio seating outside in front and side of building. Bar seating inside and outside as well as a heated tent. This location is handicap accessible. Mon-Tues closed. Wed-Thurs 4-9pm and Fri-Sat 1-9pm. Paid $43 for two drinks and pizza. The staff are welcoming. David our server was very attentive.Will return to sample other items on the menu.Parking: The restaurant is located on a corner next to the neighborhood. You can find parking on the street if none is available in the nearby parking lot.“

“First time trying this Korean fried chicken place, we have many around the neighborhood, thankfully the food made up for the lack of customer service, be prepared to wait since the food is made to order or order ahead, hands down best Korean chicken I've had.“

“Great food! Excelente taste and great service. I will definitely come back again. The food is delicious! I will give them 6/5 stars ⭐️ Rodrigo has an amazing customer service“

“What an absolute delicious pizza I ordered! I went to participate in a PTA night for work and picked up Pizza Pie Me for dinner. I ordered the Buffalo & bbq chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Service was great! I called before leaving work and it was ready in 15 minutes!“

“Loved their burgers.But they always forget to make the shake. I shouldn't have to remind them, and if I finish my meal and remind someone his priority should be to get my shake, not do other stuff. And if I have to remind you a second time, the same.“
