We love Astro Beer Hall! It’s a great spot for watching our local DC sports teams and far flung games like the NFL in Europe. There’s a wide variety of food on the menu - something for everyone! There’s an extensive draft beer selection and a speciality cocktail menu if you’re looking for something adventurous. The staff keeps us coming back.
New place in Shirlington and the atmosphere was fun.

Astro Beer Hall offers good food and beer, but there are some issues with the layout and service. The spicy chicken sandwich is a highlight, and the hot chicken sandwich is praised for being good and hot. Customers have noted confusion upon entering, as the line to order food and drinks can be unclear, leading to frustration. Currently, a single employee often handles everything, which can slow down the ordering process. The restaurant is quite modern, with no host or waiters, and everything is self-service via QR codes. There is no explanation; customers are told to seat themselves, which can be confusing. QR codes are not connected to the bar or drinks menu, making it difficult to order drinks, especially when trying to avoid crowding the small bar area. Some customers have skipped drinks altogether, opting for just water, which is available but ice is not.
The food quality has its ups and downs; while the fried chicken sandwich on a cheddar biscuit is well-received, the undercooked chicken wings were disappointing. The donuts, although not made to order like at another location, are also available. The kitchen is capable, as the food is appreciated, but the overall experience can be frustrating due to the lack of interaction with staff. One employee was praised for fast service and friendliness, but many felt the place lacks human connection, with minimal staff interaction outside of food delivery.
The bathrooms are accessible upstairs and downstairs, but the downstairs bathroom sometimes smells unpleasant. Customers have suggested adding QR codes for menus and online ordering to improve the experience and reduce confusion. Some reports mention having to bus their own tables, adding to the disorganized feeling. Despite these challenges, Astro Beer Hall offers a great selection of beers and a decent dining experience, especially for quick visits or groups seeking efficiency. The kitchen’s quality is acknowledged, and reviews highlight friendly staff and a good beer selection.
