50 Best Bars near Mclean

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“We were looking for a good brunch with bottomless mimosas and we found this gem. Mimosas are on point. The food was good but I jusT wish they had a few more traditional brunch options. The atmosphere is lively and fun. The space is on the smaller side but I will return.“

“We had a blast despite the chill today. Looking forward to coming back when it is just slightly warmer. My only complaint would be why the heaters weren't turned on by the playground today, a lot of us parents were freezing.“

“While enjoying lunch yesterday my friend and I were fortunate to be served by Richard. He was very accommodating and pleasant. I can’t say enough about what a nice person he was. Maggianos is lucky to have him as part of their staff.“

“Union Burger w/ fries and a house pickle. $15. Not bad for Arlington. Tastes great! Will be back for sure!“

“Very good spot. I’ve been there a few times and the first time going I got the fontina vodka penne pasta. Following visits included the same thing. Great for leftovers if there’s any left. The atmosphere is great with a sport bar-ish vibe with nice wait staff.“

“Great service, good food and a great greeting. Me and my wife had an exceptional experience. We definitely will be going back.“

“Great vibes and music here!!!😎“

“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“Great foods and great service.“

“Delicious and lovely atmosphere.“

“Randomly found out about this place after having dinner with a friend at the sushi restaurant upstairs. It looked like a cute modernly decorated bar once we entered and it was. The music was GREAT, the bartenders were lovely and super attentive! The drinks had delicious interesting flavors and definitely gave you that kick you’re looking for after midnight. We got to sit at the bar to enjoy your cocktails.“

“We stopped by for a nightcap and were so glad we did. Whenever we travel, we seek out great craft cocktails and these did not disappoint. Loved the vibe. The cocktails were imaginative and well balanced. The service was outstanding. We did not have an opportunity to try the food, but look forward to visiting again for dinner. I highly recommend this wonderful, tiny, magical trip down the rabbit hole.“

“An excellent dining experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Beautiful decor, stylish but comfortable seating, and just good vibes all round.

All of the food was amazing and so creative, especially the beet tartare which had this vegan egg yolk that looked and tasted like a real egg yolk! The mocktails were really fun too.

Only downside is that it’s pricey for the amount of food you get, but if you’re looking for a more refined dining experience with great atmosphere and delicious food you should definitely consider this place.“

“Efficient service and a comfortable setting made it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. Ideal for both business lunches and casual firm events.“

“Service is amazing. Friendly and efficient staff. Hotel is charming .“

“It's the best place to listen to live music in DC.“

“Easily one of the best bars in the city, hands down“

“If you’re in DC, Quill cocktail bar is the place to go. Its dim lit atmosphere and ambience provides such an intimate setting whether for friends and family or for business. You have your choice of sitting indoors or outside on their raised patio. Oh, and the service here is phenomenal! When you first sit, they bring you mixed nuts and olives and introduce themselves. Their cocktail menu may have only been just a page but if it’s not on there, they can definitely make it for you. My wife requested an Espresso Martini (non-menu) and it was the best of its kind she’s had yet. She also enjoyed the Ventura Highway, from their menu. My personal favorite of theirs was the “Johnny be Woode.” This became my go-to there. They do have a dinner menu as well. Their burger exceeded my expectations! Their desert menu impressed! The presentation was artwork and the flavors will surely make you long for more. Our server two of the three nights we were there was Andrew. Andrew made sure we had everything we needed and could possibly want. He provided absolutely excellent service, great humor, and pleasant conversation. On our third evening here, Amber greeted and served us. Amber is another gem at Quill, making recommendations on menu items as well as local recommendations around the town based off what my taste preferences are. Both Andrew and Amber had an awesome attitude and helped make our stay at the Jefferson Hotel just that much more memorable! The atmosphere, service, and great attitudes made for such a unique and satisfying experience that we ended each of our evenings, visiting Quill. Next time we’re in town, we will definitely be going back to Quill.“

“Excellent beer selection and to-die-for totchos and grilled cheese sandwiches, with whatever interesting “toppings” you could imagine!“

“Solid bottomless brunch! The drinks are STRONG, food delicious and filling and exactly what you want when you are doing a bottomless brunch. Appetizers were a little pricey imo, but $48 for an entree and unlimited cocktails I mean I can’t think of a better bottomless brunch I’ve been to for that price point. Also super cute vibes - beachy/coastal. Could be a casual breakfast or a boozy brunch with the girls!

(Note: if you are an espresso martini connessuier, don’t get it. It is made with cold brew and they add sugar so it’s quite sweet. It’s alright especially for a bottomless, but if you’re picky get any other drink.)

(Note 2: the punch is by FAR the strongest drink. Take that warning or encouragement at your own peril haha)“

“Great place for mussels!“

“We hosted a business reception here following a conference and we were so impressed with the Highline team for being so accommodating and responsive to our group's needs. We pulled the reception together pretty last-minute, and yet the Highline helped us to make the arrangements without any hassle. We will certainly be coming back!“

“Lovely, prestigious club on Dupont Circle surrounded by embassies and staffed by very friendly people.
Good food, nice rooms, great amenities.
They can hook you up for parking as well.
Worth getting an introduction, if only to look at the photos of all the members who have won Nobel or Pulitzer prizes or any of a bunch of other things.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“Awesome spot!! Food was very good! We got the brussel sprouts, Mac & Cheese with bacon, tots, Reuben and the Jalapeño burger. I wish the Mac & Cheese had that cheesy gooey ness to it but that’s a personal preference. It was still super good and we ate the whole thing.
The beer list was extensive! I stuck to their Sour selection and dang they were all so good! My friend had a few different drinks but the one that stuck out was the Peach Cider. It tasted like you legit just bit into a Peach!
The whole staff were welcoming and friendly. The bartender, Joe, (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was great!“

“Amazing atmosphere and some of the best cocktails in the area!!!“

“The best place to eat at Eden“

“Didn’t get to try the food, but great drinks and atmosphere and Jake the bartender is very passionate and excellent at his craft. Recommend stopping in!“

“Excellent curated cocktails.“

“Really enjoyed drinks here! Cute spot hidden in plain sight. Cool entry ambiance, good vibes inside. Great and unique cocktails.

Only thing is that they seemed incredibly understaffed. The very kind host/waiter seemed incredibly overwhelmed and was virtually the only staff member we saw in the establishment. Note that they were at capacity, and we were early, so they didn’t let us in until at our reservation time and even a bit after.“

“We brought in 16 people for a college/friend reunion and had a blast. The food and staff were amazing and the vibe inside was outstanding.“

“amazing place! really great food, service and ambience!“

“Love trivia night it’s excellent“

“This was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would never normally choose Italian as a n “”out to eat” option but I’m so glad I did! I would eat here night after night if I could.“

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!“

“10,000/10 the best place we visited while we were in DC. The bartenders were amazing, the music on Thursdays was supreme, and the drinks were very well made. I recommend to anyone.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to Gluten Free for drinks!“

“Limited beer menu for the size of the bar“

“New, elegant, renovated, a lot of good vibes "The Commentary"“

“One of the best places in Dc and right on the water!“

“Food was excellent! Beer was good, prices were fair, but our waitress was not very friendly at all. she clearly wanted nothing to do with waiting on us. otherwise a very enjoyable atmosphere and the pizza was so good!“

“It's the coolest. #malortface“

“We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Hive! The room was smaller than a regular hotel (just as advertised) but was so cute and still the perfect size for two people even for a five night stay. The hotel itself is clean and in a great location for walking to all of the DC attractions. The area surrounding the hotel (including the parking deck) seemed very safe, even late in the evenings. We had a “buzz” room and still felt that our room was very quiet, especially to be in a city. The front desk staff were always extremely friendly and happy to help. We were overcharged by the parking deck one night and the staff kindly fixed it immediately. We would definitely recommend Hotel Hive to anyone looking for a place to stay in DC!“

“Great selection of vinyls. Their drinks are from another world so don't expect generic cocktails. Maitake mushrooms tempura and wagyu flank steak were perfectly cooked. Had the pleasure of opening one of their fine Armagnac with Will. I appreciate the passion they put into giving us such a unique experience through sight, sound, and taste.“

“Great place and great staff!“

“Hope you guys open soon indoors“

“It was pretty pleasant had a good time“

“I love it here! Everyone has a great vibe, it’s a good chill atmosphere and it really feels like a second home. I’d recommend everyone to visit even if it’s only once because I know you will fall in love first visit. You can’t ask for a better night out. Bring a friend or two or three. The more the merrier! Enjoy!“
