50 Best Beer Bars near Alexandria

“We’ve been to El Paso several times and always enjoyed it, but this time we had them cater a birthday party for 75 guests—and it went perfectly! The food was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with everyone. Highly recommend the queso, which was everyone’s favorite. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy. Plus, when dining in, the live music on weekends creates such a fun atmosphere for a family dinner.“

“Amazing food and service. Love the atmosphere ❤️💙“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“Needed more servers to help,felt a little left out in the cold but bartender (server too) was nice. Enjoyed the food that we ordered. Nice place to visit with some friends. Not a place I would say hey if you come to Alexandria you have to go here but a good place if you just want a close place to the Hilton Hotel.“

“Amazing vibes, delicious food, and a fantastic beer selection. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for hanging out with friends or relaxing after work.
Highly recommended! 🍻“

“My son and I were visiting DC and always looking for a good burger. The burgers were outstanding. One of the best I have ever had.“

“Wow, where to begin. The food- excellent. We got the dim sum and every dish was ‘wow’ worthy. It was one of those meals where you’re just talking about the food because it was so unique, delicious and well crafted. I highly recommend the duck tacos and the beignets. The service- amazing. I didn’t catch her name, but the waitress was kind, attentive, and made me feel like I was eating at someone’s house rather than a restaurant. Real auntie energy and she had great recommendations. The atmosphere- so unique, clean, well lit, eclectic, homey, full of character. The ONLY thing this place was missing is an aquarium and a disco ball.

This is the kind of place you can being your best friend, your mom, your boss- and everyone will have a good time and great food. Please go support this amazing restaurant and staff.“

“Love me Other Half wherever I can find it!“

“Stumbled upon this spot and am so glad I did! After our first time here, my boyfriend and I liked it so much that we came back five days later. Not only does it have great beer and a very cool dive-bar-vibe, but it is so wonderful that literally every item on the menu can be made vegan, with a huge selection of meat alternatives and yummy vegan cheeses (there's also a create-your-own section!) The side of chickpeas is also INCREDIBLE - a definite fave of both mine and my boyfriend (non-vegan). Updated from previous review on 2019-03-07“

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

“I love these soup dumplings! We get the frozen ones to have on hand all the time and the fresh ones are a delicious snack when you’re there.

You have to order on your own and take a number and then it’s in the back of the market which is why I’m giving 4 stars for service and atmosphere but definitely try these!!“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

“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!“

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

“We hosted a retirement social for 20-30 guests in the private space. The space was perfect for our needs. We ordered drinks at the very busy bar, but the bartenders definitely gave our guests priority - which was greatly appreciated. The food suggested tasted great and was more than enough for everyone to enjoy. We would definitely recommend and return.“

“This is a good-bar that's reasonably priced. Food and service are great. Real people go here

Vegetarian options: You can leave meat off some items. The Westover Melt is veggie and delish.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in“

“This is my new dumpling take out/ delivery spot in south Arlington. Very nice, well packed dumplings and shumai. I really loved the beef bulgogi and the Hong Kong shumai. I've been twice and I'll be back again soon. Perfect easy dinner option and very quick service. I don't think this is a very attractive dine in spot, and they only have a few tables, but as a take away, it's a great choice.“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“First time in Arlington, all the way from Annapolis and it was such and amazing vibe, our waitress kelsy was 5 stars took very seriously my GF allergy and was making sure with the kitchen, very knowledgeable of the Menu and she was very Nice. Will definitely go back for Food and hospitality.“

“Good beer, fantastic service, Nice environment“

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

“I happened to be at The Renegade two weeks ago. I love country music so I thought it could be a great idea to show my brother this restaurant. We came from Spain and discovered this place! What we didn’t know is that we would meet Paul, who took care of us and “tour us around” their menu and options. The food was delicious and healthy as well! Artichokes, hummus, cauliflower and the chicken were amazing! My brother is vegetarian so they prepared a pad thai for him and he really enjoyed it. After dinner, was time to look everybody dancing on the floor… With the perfect atmosphere! I wish I could post some pictures!! Thank you very much Paul, for treating us so well, you very much surprised us! Will come back 🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“We didn’t try the food here but the coffee was wonderful! The people who served us were friendly and helpful. The inside (where we sat until outside chairs became available) was clean and cool temperature wise. The outside was shaded, comfortable and clean.“

“I’ve been seeing this new place develop but hadn’t had a chance to go in until today. While waiting for my prescription at CVS up the block, I tried their soup of the day. The front of the house has a few tables and a counter, giving the impression of a typical take-out joint. But they have the next store front too, with comfortable high and low tables. Since I was eating in, I was served on nice china, glassware, and real utensils. The Broccoli cheddar soup was excellent. It’s very clean and bright and the restroom is too. This is a much needed addition to the 12th St business district. I wish them much success. I’ll go for the full menu for sure. Hope you do too!“

“When ordering delivery via door dash you can’t get the cheese pizza without paying extra for the cheese. Pizza was good but this added cheese ($2) made it almost too cheesy. Garlic knots not buttery/oily/greasy like other places which I appreciated.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful time during a reserve wine tasting experience. Our ‘guide' for the tasting (Kareem) was so very knowledgeable about the wines and regions they came from and made it all so interesting and approachable. He made the day for sure! Our food was delicious, the wines were fantastic, and the service was top notch! Highly recommend!“

“I came in for a burger and fries. I was asked if I liked seafood, and if I wanted to sample a shrimp crab cake slider. It was delicious . All the food was seasoned well, and a good portion. The atmosphere was good, the music was top tier, service was friendly. I would recommend and will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊😊“

“Yes come on in & enjoy the excellent serve“

“Love trivia night it’s excellent“

“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.“

“Have done delivery and take out from here before and it never disappoints. Burgers are great and today went post workout and ordered to go while waiting. It was happy hour so got $2 off my drink and the woman at the bar was so patient with me and let me try several of their options before I finally decided on something delicious to drink.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free buns and modifications for all items are available

Parking: Free garage parking 2 blocks away and paid 2 hr street parking“

“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.“

“So good. Just what we were looking for“

“We started with the bruschetta and then made our own pizzas topped with prosciutto, pepperoni, and mushrooms. My partner tried one of their seasonal fall cocktails. We’ve also visited their Georgetown and Dupont Circle locations before, and the food is consistently excellent.“

“Never been to that area so it looked sketchy at first. The place is not truly a sit-down kind of place so we ordered to go. We tried their Italiano pie and it was dioicous. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and quite honestly the price wasn't bad. Pleasantly surprised.“

“Great place to grab a beer (or a flight of beers!) while you wait out a layover. However, the best part was Sarah, our waitress, who was so kind and so great to talk to. Service was above and beyond. Whenever I'm at DCA, I will definitely come back.“

“Food is delicious. Best crust in the DMV. Great salads. Service is reliably wonderful. My husband and I are regulars. My husband says the beer is good. My whine is about the wine, which in all categories is mediocre, expensive for what it is, and almost never changes, no matter how many nice requests we've made to the staff. PLEASE up your wine game!“

“Great location we had a great time“

“The best chicken doughnut sandwich ever.“

“Great food, great beer and great service. Trifecta!“
