“Food was delicious, beer was great and staff was super friendly. Very family friendly and chill vibes. Only bummer was they didn’t have any ciders on tap. The few seltzers they had weren’t great. If you are looking for non-beer options it’s not the place for you.Food was more BBQ than Hawaiian (small hint of Hawaiian)—still delicious, but nothing like an LnL.Overall, great experience and would come back if I’m in the area again!“
“The Sonic Boom cans caught my eye at Safeway in FFX Town Center. I really like the taste and potency of it. I'm from Chantilly, and it's nice to find a brewer that I can locally support. I plan to stop by the brewery sometime soon. Good stuff.“
“Really chill atmosphere that was great for kids. Lot's of coloring books, crayons, and even chalk for the chalkboard wall in the back area. Weeknight specials are really a good deal considering how expensive everything is these days. We went on a Thursday and got the smashburgers which were surprisingly juicy and hotdogs are only $1 if you want something simple for kids. Will definitely make that part of the dinner rotation.“

“The Bike Lane in Reston is always our go-to location for any and all bike needs. We've purchased two bikes for our child, and we plan to keep purchasing bikes from them. Their knowledge is incredible, and they make excellent recommendations based on the needs of the customer. They are friendly, professional, and kind. They certainly excel at what they do!!! Great job Reston Bike Lane!!“
“First time and I'm very glad we came to check it out! Great comfortable atmosphere that offers a family area as well as 21 and over area in the bar area. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed out time. Several good beers were tried and I appreciate that a cider (woodchuck) us offered and was very good. We came in time for mimosas/beermosas and the brunch food. We both got huevos rancheros which was delicious. I also got the Nordic knot pretzels with the beer cheese and goat cheese, both were awesome. I'm glad I live so close and will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!“
“This spot is a family favorite! We go often either as a family or a girl's night out. Really good beers and wine. Every dish I've ever tried is scrumptious! I absolutely love the salmon salad with warm goat cheese. And, don't forget deserts - taste of heaven!Parking: Usually pretty easy to find a spot.“
“Great foods presented professionally Hells Kitchen style, with a great view of the kitchen in operation. Very professional, well-led server staff that knows how important timing is. Excellent food that has been properly prepared and presented. The dessert was a fantastic take on Caramel Crème Brûlée, most especially well presented in layer style. I am absent of our servers name but we were located to the right as you walk in, almost all the way to the end. Just a great example of how servers can make a meal much more appetizing with impeccable timing. An overall excellent outing. Highly recommend.“
“As a Seattleite/Pacific Northwesterner & overall connoisseur of craft brewing, I’m proud to say that Juicy Brewing has become my favorite brewery! That speaks volumes since breweries such as Great Notion, Cascade Barrel House, Holy Mountain and many more top notch breweries are in my neighborhood. Whoever’s in charge here has some skills! Last week I was fortunate to visit Juicy again and was tickled to time it just right with the ANCHOVY variant drop of their AE OPAQUE!!! Juicy’s OPAQUE series are top tier hazy’s and each variant is unique and perfectly prepared. Along with their hazy offerings, the sours are out of this world! Quaint, cozy and cool is how I’d describe Juicy Brewing. Although I love their quirky glassware, I feel I’m being shorted a bit and would love other glassware/ pour options. Here in the PNW we drink hazy’s in full pint glasses and I’d love to see that or other options offered. That said; they don’t run a tab, so remember what you had! When you’re done it’s up to you to remember what you had…so be honest! Jaja. Never experienced that before. If you’re into Craft beer, especially hazy IPAs, double hazy IPAs and sours, you’ll love the vibe in this little nano knock out! **If you’re inclined, hit up Enatye Ethiopian Restaurant right around the corner for a truly magical and harmonious evening. CHEERS!“
“Sinistral Brewery is a fun go to spot with many activities and great drinks in the heart of downtown Manasses! With plenty things ranging from Trivia Nights every two weeks on Wednesday nights. Emo nights with great emo playlist from the wonderful staff and amazing bar tenders. Shout out to Gil for always being a good time and happy!“
“Checked them out for the first time on St. Patty's Day. It was very busy. They have a very nice space with lots of seating indoors and out and they had 2 food trucks which was nice. Their beer and sodas are self serve which was new to me but made it easy to try all the different types without having too much of any one. Very enjoyable experience!However, for craft beer lovers, their beer wasn't as full of body or flavor as you'd expect.“
“Played here with the Northern Virginia Firefighters Emerald Society Pipe Band today after the Manassas St. Patricks Day Parade. I ordered the Scottish Ale and was pleased to find it tasted like a Scottish Ale should. Tentatively, I ordered a Black Pearl Porter. It tasted like a porter…no chocolate, peanut butter ,rapserry, nor other extra flavors so many other craft breweries try to put in their porter to make it “unique”. I will be back sample the rest of their line. So rare these days to find a craft brewery which has the courage and confidence in their skill to make quality brews that qualify as excellent examples of the style of beer without the gimmicks. Well done.“
“Great local microbrewery in Northern Virginia. Always a good mix of beers on tap and great staff too. I like that it’s not a huge brewery / restaurant like some other places, just beer, a few tv’s, back patio and relaxing environment. Also very dog friendly. We usually come w our two pups and grab a beer or two each week. On Sundays there’s also a discount if you bring a dog, and there’s a very fun trivia night on Wednesdays. It’s so fun / popular that if you don’t arrive early you may not find a table. Just a great local place to have in the community.“
“I love this place, I go just about every week and live about five minutes away. Great beers, good rotation for new stock. Make sure to go to Eugene's also for food! The crowds here have gotten so big for these events over the past few years, be sure to check their calendar for upcoming and recurring events ? parking can be a little tight so be sure to get there earlier.“
“Had a great time here with family. Oysters were good and so was the beer. We also had sandwiches and nachos which were good. The staff were helpful and nice. There's a lot of areas to sit and there's also some outdoor seating. There was also some live music on the other side of the bar which was cool.“
“Little quaint brewery located at Lake Anne waterfront. When I approached the place, my first impression was that it was located in somebody's basement. But opening the door, I was pleasantly surprised with clean and neat brewery and friendly greeting by the staff at the counter behind, which had about 10 taps all brewed in-store. The weather was a dampener. Otherwise, we could have sat on the deck by the river, sipping the drinks. Beer selection ranges from lighter to IPA to dark ones. They have cider, shandy, and Kombucha options, too. Food options are limited to nice, warm pretzels and some packaged snacks, which is expected in a small local brewery like this. The good news is they have a great neighbors serving good food like Lake Anne Coffee House and Kalypso. You can get the food ordered from there or bring your own food.“
“We held a birthday party here for 50 people, and it was perfect! Good beer, helpful staff, and an easy location for our guests to park, hang out, and have a great time. We ordered catering from an outside restaurant, and Ornery made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual event space for a party.“
“Definitely more bar and less restaurant then some of the other local brew pubs but was still fun. Ordered some pretzels and sandwiches. Both took a while so we filled up on popcorn a bit too much while we waited and then both came out at the same time so it was a bit much bread all at once. Split a sofia and barbarosa which were both a tad salty but good. The fried cheese drippings were a nice touch. Overall everyone enjoyed it.“
“Always a good time at Ocelot. If you've not been in a while, stop in again to check their selection out!Their beer selection is constantly changing, with lots of seasonal releases or new takes on styles. From English styles, to super hoppy IPAs, or crisp clean lagers, there's going to be something on draft you'll like.Pinball in the back room is awesome, and they've got a variety of food trucks during certain days.“
“So thankful for the last minute accommodations for my son’s birthday party! They have such a great event space, and although it was a bit hot this time of year the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Not to mention, the beer is delicious! Thanks also to Stephanie for the very quick response and help with the reservation! We will definitely be back! Probably many times in the future.“
“I stopped in a few weeks ago to see what Tucked Away has to offer. They are located in a warehouse and have a large indoor area that can look in at the brewing workspace. They also have a few outdoor tables. I arrived right near opening time and had the place to myself for a little while. I sat at their bar area so I could chat with my server. He was informative and attentive. I found out that they have a Tuesday disc golf putting league, intriguing.I should have gotten a flight but was anxious and ordered a full sized jalapeno lager, can't remember the exact name. I'm not a regular lager drinker but a twist like this will get me every time. It had a decent peppery flavor and a little bit of burn, very nice. I followed that with a fix Bayonet neipa. Would recommend and will be adding to my area brewery crawl list.“
“Great little hidden hangout in the land of Ashburn's finest office buildings and data centers. It's a perfect spot for grabbing an adult soda pop after a long day of work. I highly recommend the rye porter for those who like dark beers because it is incredibly tasty.“
“The Mrs. and I took a trip out to Manassas to meet our friends for dinner at a place called Public House Kitchen and Brewery, located on Battle Street. First of all it does not have its own parking, so you will be looking for a spot on the street. If that doesn't scare you off, you'll be treated to a very fun tavern. The dining room is not what you'd call large, so expect some noise on weekend nights. We were shown to the last open table on this Saturday night by a very nice server. My wife started with a Public House Winter Amber Lager, which she really liked. I went a bit darker, with a Public House Darkness. It too was outstanding. It was quite smooth, and the chocolate came through.As an appetizer we had the Candied Bacon. This was basically thick cut slabs of bacon with a smoky maple syrup glaze. Decent, but kind of heavy.For dinner, my wife had muscles. She reported it to be good, standard muscles in a garlic broth. I had salmon with mashed potatoes and fried Brussel Sprouts. The salmon was very good, only the Brussel Sprouts had quite a number of loose leaves, and not just whole Sprouts.The service was extraordinary, and the dining room, though a bit tight, was really fun with a number of very interesting light fixtures. Definately a place we'd go back to again, especially to sample more of their beer.“
“Been many times but I’ve finally decided, I love this place. The bevs are delicious & so is the food. I’ve always received great & friendly service (Scotty is so nice, knowledgeable, gives great recommendations, & points us in the right direction). I’ll be back!“
“The Marvolo and the Marvoloso stouts are great... but they are gone. The Irish style sweet stout is pretty good, though. There are plenty of IPAs which IPA drinkers seem to really enjoy as well. I wish they allowed customization of their pizzas.. a fennel sausage and pepperoni would be awesome. They would really benefit from an acoustic study of the space. The design of the vintage concrete ceiling creates a massive amount of resonance which makes it easy to hear everything everywhere all at once. Super difficult for folks with any audio processing disorder.“

“Fun place with a stage for music or other entertainment, pool tables and table shuffle board. Choose from a number of drink choices using a card which measures exact pours. Would love a sangria added to the choices. Great staff and friendly patrons.“
“We came in for a lunch after riding on the WO&D trail. They were easily accessible from the trail/parking. There are a ton of spots to put your bike inbetween the two buildings (Aslin & their food side). Mid-day there were plenty of open tables both inside and outside. There were 4 dogs visiting, so they are definitely dog friendly. The beer was great (we ordered the IPAs) and food was also good. We had the pizza and fry-chos. They do offer high chairs if you are dining with younger children. They also had an arcade area that some older children were enjoying while waiting for their food.“
“If you are looking for a place to enjoy craft beer and delicious food, look no further than Ornery. They offer a variety of beers on tap, from crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs, as well as a menu that features burgers, pizzas, salads, and more. The service is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the prices are very reasonable.“
“Love Solace. Best brewery around. They've made it and I am happy for them. Any company where the beer is sold as a staple in the grocery stores or in other restaurants, you know it is good. Solace has done that. For the brewery itself, it is awesome. Lots of good beer, good place to go. Pretty big place, can bring you dog with no problem. Usually they have a good truck, so you can get a bite if you want.“
“There's always something new at Mustang Sally every time I visit. They have Trivia weekly if that's your thing. It's entertaining to watch even if you're not participating. Family friendly in that you can bring the kids if they're capable of sitting at the table with you, but don't expect to let them run around, it's not that kind of brewery.Beers: There staples are definitely sours/sour variants, and IPAs. Both of which they do an excellent job with. The beer names/themes are also always enjoyable, great throwbacks to pop culture.Events: Mustang Sally has some of the best themed events/parties in the area. The Sour Fest, Dill Pickle Fest, and countless others are always awesome and a great value.Venue: awesome pinball games, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food inside on most days at Eugene's.“
