“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!“

“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!“

“Delicious lunch on the outdoor patio. Scotch eggs, pies, pints all exceptional!“

“Great selection of beer on tap, lots of wine and cocktail options, along with non-alcoholic beverages. I was welcome to bring food from downstairs and eat it at the bar while enjoying some brews. There are utensils, still and sparkling water, napkins etc“

“The food was not good and service was subpar. Seemed like it was an okay place, but didn't have enough tables and was very small inside. Came late and on a few occasions when last call came, there were always 10 to 15 people still inside after the male bartender told everyone else to leave. He locked the door with always others left inside. I've observed this happening on a number of occasions. So last call, isn't apparently last call, and why were some staying when everyone else was told to leave?“

“Best wings everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“I’m in love with the Ellote street corn they have it down“

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!“

“One of a kind! Awesome selection of Korean and American snacks. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is upbeat with a lounge vibe. Highly recommend.

Only caveat is parking might be tough during peak hours. Be careful parking in Honey Pig and Rumba lots adjacent to 1943 Classic.“

“We hosted a large group (50+) at Settle Down Easy in Falls Church. Frank and Zoe were very helpful, suggesting options and answering questions. Frank was very accommodating and set a minimum spend instead of charging us to rent the space. The space had just the right vibe for this group. They partner with El Tio Tex-Mex Grill for catering, and that was a good experience, too. Everything was on time and as expected. It was a good experience and a venue that we would consider again for a group gathering.“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“Tacos were delicious. Best Irish coffee.“

“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. ❤️“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“Best Irish Pub in the US.“

“Fosters Grille is truly the hidden gem of Vienna. It holds the best atmosphere for sport team parties. It has tasty burgers, chicken sandwiches, and Philly chicken subs. I love this establishment and have been a customer since maybe 2009. The arcade is a great spot for kids and adults who just want to feel nostalgic with a nice claw game to win a prize. I love coming here on my days off and will continue to divulge in the fabulous Monday through Friday specials. The customer service impressed me when I showed up 30 minutes before the opened on accident and they gladly took my order and didn’t bat an eye. Great restaurant!“
