25 Best Bars near Leesburg

“I asked the bartender for Dealer’s Choice, it was the top 3 best drinks I’ve had in my life! Amazing! “Fall to Peaches”, I asked him to add it to their menu. It was a twist on their Savannah Smoke with an egg white. Mind blowing! :)“

“Terrific unique rooftop hangout in downtown Leesburg with fantastic weekend live music ;). Hanging out at the 🐦‍⬛🪹 is like chilling at whichever friend’s house with the most kick-ass backyard patio. Can’t beat the vibe and crew up there making it all happen!“

“Best deep fried mushroom and chicken wings in downtown Leesburg.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience while visiting the area. The food was excellent, and everything we ordered was delicious. The shrimp and grits were especially tasty, and the portions were just right—we finished every bite! We also enjoyed the corn chowder, halibut, salad, and dessert, all of which were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. It was a very satisfying meal from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal nearby.“

“Super late review, I know. I was there during January 20th, 2025 timeline. With many of our colleagues there, we hoped there would be a place to unwind and the staff at Black Olive didn't disappoint. I want to specifically thank Lisa and Zuri for their kindness, exceptional service, and great mixology skills. They went above and beyond for all of us to ensure we had a wonderful time at the pool tables, darts, cornball, and our drinks were made promptly and accurately. I certainly hope this review make it to them. They deserve all the praise and more.“

“We’re staying at the Bar Harbor KOA right down the road from the restaurant. We tried it out for lunch today, and everything was delicious! We had the cheese curds as an appetizer and the blackened haddock sandwiches for our main courses. We loved everything! Very fresh food and great service as well!“

“My son Jake’s place continues to innovate and grow — DC location opening soon!“

“Great cocktails, food and friendly bartenders.“

“. The popularity is completely understandable, but it can make an otherwise excellent experience somewhat difficult.

I genuinely wish the restaurant offered online reservations through a platform such as OpenTable. Being able to reserve a table ahead of time would make an already great restaurant significantly more convenient.

And that’s really the only reason I’m giving Ashburn Pub four stars instead of five.

The staff? Five stars.
The drinks? Five stars.
The food? Five stars.
The prices? Five stars.
The seating availability? That’s where the extra star gets lost.

Ashburn Pub has everything you want from a great neighborhood establishment: excellent food, fantastic drinks, genuinely friendly service, and prices that won’t leave you wondering whether you accidentally paid for the building.

Four stars from me—but if they ever add more seating or implement a reliable reservation system, this would easily be a five-star experience.

Until then, plan ahead and be prepared to compete with the rest of Ashburn for a table or a seat at the bar if you’re especially lucky that day.“

“Parallel has become one of our favorite go-to spots for happy hour. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. We absolutely love the duck fat fries. They are crisp and thick cut. The fried pickles are also very good and if the kids are with us we get the chicken and waffles and kids mac n cheese. It's an amazing gourmet mac n cheese and the fresh fruit side is picture perfect every time.

Montepulciano has become one of our favorite wines. I also enjoy the pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc in the summer. We weren't fans of the chardonnay, but the rest of the wines more than make up for it. Great old fashioned - well balanced.

Service has always been good. All the servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the drink and food menus. We love the atmosphere as well. Very rustic and down to earth.“

“IPA heaven!!“

“We’ve had many amazing meals at Ahso and the food is always delicious, inventive and elevated. Such a fine dining gem in Loudoun County. Cocktails are best in the area and the wine pairing dinner is lovely. Service is top notch and always friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Party Bar and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I opted for a bar buyout to make it a private event, and Dana, the events manager, was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly detailed, communicative, and accommodating—especially helpful since I was planning from out of town. On the night of the dinner, our bartenders—Carter, Tyler, and Chris—were outstanding. Not only did they provide excellent service, but they also ensured the buffet stayed stocked throughout the entire three-hour event. Carter even set out to-go boxes at the end of the night so guests could take leftovers home, ensuring nothing went to waste. Everyone raved about the food, and the space was more spacious than I expected. By rearranging the tables, I was able to comfortably seat all 65 guests. I highly recommend the Party Bar for any event or just a fun night out with great food, drinks, and service!“

“Stopped by The Local Cut in Purcellville for an early Saturday dinner after a day out and had a great experience! We were seated right away. I had Tony’s Bolognese but the real star was the double Smash Burger—so good I’ll be ordering it next time. Highly recommend!“

“Feel good and safe with healthy food and good atmosphere . love it“

“The Purcellville Pub restaurant is exactly the kind of place you hope to find: warm, welcoming, and full of character. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels relaxed and inviting, with a lively but comfortable pub feel that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening.

The food is excellent--fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The menu has a great mix of classic pub favorites and well-executed specials, making it easy for everyone to find something they want. Everything arrives hot, well-presented, and full of flavor, with generous portions that are a great value.

The service makes the experience even better. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling rushed. They check in at the right times, keep everything moving smoothly, and make you feel like valued guests.

The Owners, GM, Managers, and Servers are excellent hosts and people. They are focused on their guests, the community and the well-being of everyone.

Overall, the Purcellville Pub is a fantastic restaurant for a casual meal, a night out with friends, or a relaxed dinner with family. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere.“

“We live Blue Ridge Grill. We’ve been eating here as a family and as a happy hour location for years. It is a staple of the town of Leesburg. The staff is wonderful and the food always tastes great. Highly recommend BRG as a journey and a destination. A+++“

“I love this restaurant! For years it has been a favorite. The food is great and so is the service.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great food and margaritas on a Friday night. We love this spot. Service was on par.“

“We had a great meal—the ceviche was delicious, and both the chicken wings and carne asada were excellent. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the food; our server seemed overwhelmed and we were overlooked for a while. I hope they can improve the staffing or pace, as the kitchen is clearly doing a fantastic job.“

“I’ve been coming to Los Toltecos in Brambleton for some time, and I know I’ll always come back. The service is consistently fast, attentive, and genuinely caring. Miguel and Cynthia provided exceptional service and made the experience even better.

The food was the icing on the cake absolutely delicious! I also love the atmosphere here: clean, friendly, peaceful, and welcoming.

Great food, great people, and a space that always feels good to be in. Definitely a favorite!“

“Great theater, vintage films, food, drinks & special guests!“

“Baker’s Crusy is a regular spot for us. The food is delicious, atmosphere has a laid back vibe, and the service is excellent. Great happy hour and daily featured events.“

“Chili's was my go-to hang out in high school, and it had my favorite grilled chicken sandwich. I have not been to a Chili's in years and decided to re-visit my young adult favorite. I am happy to say it has withstood the test of time. The chips and salsa were just as I remembered, and the queso and house-made guacamole were good as well. My adult beverage, a frozen cherry margarita with Patron, was excellent, and the grilled chicken sandwich and fries were pretty close to the ones in my fond memories! I will definitely be back!“
