35 Best Cocktail Bars near Herndon

“As a South Indian, I’m pretty picky about biryani, and this is hands down the best Mughlai biryani I’ve had in the United States. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and you don't get sick after few bites. Great ambiance, amazing food. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Beautiful place, inviting and warm, felt like dining in a Paris restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“This is a great venue. I love seeing the century old pre power tool construction techniques (and without nails or screws!), and every seat is close to the stage. There are only a few seats in the balcony where the view is partially blocked by support columns.“

“Highly recommend the Heirloom Burger for any burger-lovers. Delicious.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“Nectar Cocktail Bar is amazing! I used to host open mic nights here with my band, and we also played gigs here. The service from everyone working there during that time was incredible, and we always had such a great experience hosting events there. The food is delicious, and the drinks are absolutely top-tier. I highly recommend this place!“

“We had a birthday party of 30 here and they were amazing! Food & service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We dined at local provisions for Christmas Eve. The bruschetta and the caesar salad were amazing and the chicken osso bucco and spinach fettuccine were top notch. Definitely recommend 10/10“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!“

“Had an amazing dinner at The Simon. The restaurant looks beautiful with a great bar and interior. The drinks were excellent—we tried the Veranda and Lake Anne Smoke cocktails. The Carolina Gold Rice Risotto was my favorite. Great service and a wonderful experience overall.“

“First time recently at Ivy and I must say, what an experience. Food and ambiance were excellent, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Amanda made excellent recommendations for cocktails and really brought the entire experience together. Will definitely be returning with my lady to see Amanda again. Thank you. Five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Great Thai Food in NOVA. I really enjoyed Burapa Thai. The food was great .“

“I had the pleasure of dining at open road last night.

It was my cousins birthday and we were looking for a tasty bite and decided to give them a chance. When you walk in you’re greeted warmly into a very well designed restaurant. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away( and it was pretty busy). Got menus and water as we sat down. We ordered some appetizers ( wings and calamari) and couple of drinks. Main course was burger and ribs. Food was 10/10 but that’s not what won us over - The bartender Adriana was AMAZING. She made the whole experience of visiting open road last night memorable. She came and checked on us multiple times at the exact time that you’d want your server to check on you, asked all the right questions and was just awesome. Whoever trained her did an amazing job and she’s a rockstar at her job ( we were even trying to keep it on the low that we are celebrating a birthday and she made a drink with a candle)

Would definitely go back! Thank you open road and thank you Adriana and Spencer“

“I love the quality of food the drink where amazing I definitely recommend this place.“

“Thanks for hosting our monthly meetings. Foods great!“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic service and outstanding food! Easily one of the best restaurants in Chantilly. A hidden gem!“

“Overall, the food was impressive for a pick up order. Between the green curry, shrimp pad thai, and chicken satay, each dish was incredibly flavorful and well done. The pad thai was a highlight for sure with the noodle texture being perfect and savory profile balancing each component well.

My critiques are that the pick up order took 50 minutes to complete. I am not surprised given how once I arrived (peak dinner time on a Saturday) the restaurant was PACKED. In terms of the food preparation, I was slightly disappointed that the green curry only had 3 pieces of eggplant and the pad thai had 5 shrimps despite being $4 extra.

I would be curious to try the dine in experience when it’s not so busy. All the dishes on their menu sound amazing to try and when I walked in their bar was non stop making drinks which looked like a good sign.“

“Food and environment are phenomenal. Staff is always great“

Every time I go back I am going to try and get Ash as my server. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. Will definitely be back.“

“Best Thai food in Loudoun County! We can’t wait for the South Riding location to open up.“

“We were completely and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. They were a bit understaffed but that seems to be a challenge many restaurants are experiencing. Our server was attentive and friendly. The salmon was delicious, the Wagyu burger as well. The wings were flavorful but not overwhelmingly hot. But the highlight were the French fries. Probably the best we’ve had.“

“Excellent meal this evening with family and friends in town. The food is fresh and cooked to order. Great service and wine as well!“
