21 Best Beer Bars near Fairfax

“I ordered for pickup so I was only able to experience in atmosphere for a short period. The dan dan noodles is one of the best that I have had in the US. The only other one that I had that was better was when I lived in China. I wish they had a location back in Boston.

If you are wondering if you should give this place a try, it is a 1000% yes!“

“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.“

“The food is great here! I’ve been a couple of times now and never had a bad meal. The sandwiches are delicious and the pizza is amazing. Really good selection of beers too!“

“I deliver packages For a delivery company and today I had the pleasure of delivering to Andy’s Pizza. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I noticed right when I walked in, the staff are very friendly, and the pizza is Incredible! Best pizza I’ve had in Virginia so far, thank you again!!“

“Really cool Grateful Dead themed bar we found on our way to Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration at Wolf Trap. Bartender Peter was so kind and provided exceptional service. We enjoyed chatting with him. Chill vibe here, with a good variety of delicious beers and good food. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy Korean fast food, k-pop, and nice staff!“

“The chiken good! Yea, but. The Rose Tteok Bokki was good. Hold on thoug! The water was amazingg! Best water I’ve had of all time. This water tastes likes…. like silence finally speaking—clean, weightless, and impossibly alive against the tongue.
It moves through the mouth like a memory you didn’t know you had, something ancient and familiar, as if your body recognizes it before your mind does.
There is a softness to it, a kind of invisible clarity that feels less like drinking and more like being restored, cell by cell, into something simpler.
Good water carries no flavor, and yet it holds the echo of stone, rain, and distance, as though it has traveled the world just to arrive here, unchanged.
In that moment, it is not just thirst that is quenched, but a quiet, unspoken longing to return to something pure and unbroken.
And somewhere beneath that purity, there lingers the faint reminder that everything living depends on it—and eventually returns to it.“

“This place is a great neighborhood bar for craft beers and good vibes. Rosemary the bartender is very nice and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this bar if you are in the area!“

“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!“

“I recently dined at this establishment, having a late lunch. I was very impressed by the attentiveness/politeness of the staff. I ordered goat curry with garlic naan, and the meal did not disappoint. My server, Danish, was an excellent host and made the experience very warm and welcoming. I will dine here again.“

“We had a really fun dinner at Craft House! And I’m just going to say it: that pretzel may be the best pretzel I’ve ever had. 😂 It was THAT good. The table absolutely demolished the cheese curds, and the cheese pizza got a big thumbs-up from everyone, too.

I had the side Caesar salad. It was fine, but I probably wouldn’t order it again. One of my friends had the French onion soup and said she’d happily choose the pizza, cheese curds, or pretzel over the soup next time. She was expecting the soup to be a little richer.

But the real MVP was our server, Mandy! We had people coming and going from our table throughout the evening, and Mandy kept up with everyone like a pro. She was friendly, attentive, efficient, and had a great attitude. Even after we’d been sitting there for quite a while, she continued to check on us and make sure everyone was taken care of.

The hubby was happy with the beer flight and loved that Mandy labeled them for him!

So… come for the pretzel. Stay for the cheese curds. And if you get Mandy, you hit the jackpot! 😄“

“We hosted a happy hour there, staff are super fun and nice, food is awesome, cocktail is really good!“

“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.“

“I wish I discovered this restaurant sooner. Amazing menu! Pho Chateau is way more than just pho. Great service! Great atmosphere! The best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been to! Do yourself a favor and visit. It will not disappoint.“

“Great food and service! This is one of one favorite places to eat whenever we’re in town to visit our daughters. Jin and his team are the best!“

“Great food i come many times“

“I had a great experience with the General Manager. He was very professional, respectful, and always willing to help. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure everything was handled smoothly. His positive attitude and excellent customer service made a big difference. He went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied, and I truly appreciate his kindness and dedication. Thank you for providing such outstanding service.“

“I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!“

“Excellent Wings! Drove in from Ashburn. 5 Stars!“

“We had a large group of people and the service was impeccable. Jose was efficient and responsive and had great timing. The food was sooo good- especially the sea bass, pork belly tacos, the sweet potatoes and the esquite! 100% will eat here again!“

“Such a great spot to kill some time at IAD! We stopped into The Chophouse while waiting to check our bags and had a really great time. The bartender, Sunny, was exceptional! Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and fun!

The French fries and asparagus were both fantastic and exactly what we needed as a quick snack.

If you have some time to spare at IAD, I’d absolutely recommend stopping in.“
