9 Best Gastropubs near Fairfax

“Came in to look around with a friend who is visiting me for the holidays and came out with three excellent wines. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and allowed us to sample a few we had questions about. She guided us to exactly what we were looking for; will definitely be back and hopefully Lisa will be there to help us again.“

“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!“

“Don't write many reviews but had to offset the one current negative review. This is not a full blown sports bar but serves one of the best burgers in the area and the wings are very good. Also have an excellent rotating selection of ~20 beers on tap. There is one big screen and several hanging TVs. Yes its the dining area at Whole Foods with a limited menu but the food/beer are worth a visit IMO.“

“First time guest Oct 28, 2025 lunch time. Great service. Food was so good. I had the Mason pulled pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was huge. I had to eat a lot of the pork with my fork first to get the sandwich to a reasonable size to bite 😂 the sandwich had slaw, pickles and an onion ring. It was really delicious!! The fries were crispy and not greasy. I’m a fry lover I approved 😜 I really love the atmosphere, decor, design and seating options. Absolutely going back soon!“

“Our first experience here was phenomenal, so the fact that the experience keeps getting better is amazing. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and ensures that you’re satisfied with your food/drinks, but also your experience! It’s always clean, and rarely has a wait time. But when they do; it’s for good reason. This is a place where you can confidently take your kids, pets, and even just by yourself without worry. With present and clearly passionate ownership; it’s always a good vibe where people visibly enjoy their jobs. Even when they are clearly busy and rushing; they always remember your presence and will consistently go above and beyond.“

“We came here from Pennsylvania, as a weekend getaway since we couldn’t take a big vacation this year. We came here for supper and karaoke. Carlos was our server and was SUPER nice and had a great sense of humor. Greg the DJ for karaoke was SO nice and hyped everyone up. They wanted us to come back. Everyone running the facility was SO nice and all the patrons were really nice as well. We really appreciate the service being outsiders and how kind everyone was. Even people I didn’t know would talk to my fiancé and I and had kind words. ❤️“

“The Capital One event center is a top-tier venue. The atmosphere is professional, the logistics are well handled, and the space itself is impressive.“

“Excellent selection of beer!“
