Settle Down Easy - Oakton Tasting Room

My husband and I recently held a couples Fantasy Football Draft event here & had an absolute blast. Frank and the staff were so accomodating to each and every single need or idea we had. Communication was easy and accessible, the space was exactly what we needed & we were even able to stream onto one of the TV's in the space for our own use during the event. I would highly recommend the Oakton Tasting Room for events and have zero complaints of our experience working with them!!

Did a flight to try their beer. Would do their 2 cloud 9. The Bavarian pretzel tasted great and the nachos with brisket which was excellent. My mom had the Rubin sandwich and she would get it again next time she visits.

Some breweries are only about the beer and the food is an afterthought. NOT here. There is great beer, cider, hard seltzer and wine for the non-beer drinkers. The beef brisket is really tasty and the other dishes on the menu look great. We stopped in for lunch, but will be back to try brunch and the other items on the menu. Settle Down Easy should definitely be a stop on your family owned brewery tour!

We were looking for brisket and found this place during our online search. Food was great! Brisket sliders were amazing and can't wait to try the brisket nachos next time. My husband enjoyed his beer, and being a non-beer drink myself, I was happy to see they had a hard seltzer that they also make in-house. On top of that, it's a family owned business, which I am happy to support!

Good beer and great smelling food. 3 stars because I ordered a flight and it was $16 and less than a full pint! They say ignorance is bliss but buyer beware!!! In San Diego if they charged those prices the flight would come with a free glass or half off a shirt.

Edit: Owner bashes me for leaving a a 3 star review and says i should have taken my complaint to the bar tender where it would surly not have reached the intended group (people who read reviews on google). The bar tender has no control over the prices you set. I have drank beer all over the world, tasters should be free. And flights should be reasonable. Your complaints of tariffs and your paranoia of what ever else you were jabbering on about are of no importance to me.

Great place to hang out with friends

Love this place!

We had a great experience at Settle Down Easy in Oakton! We recently celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday, and it was truly unforgettable. The food, prepared by Chef Philip and his team, was absolutely outstanding! The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. And of course, the beer selection was top-notch! Settle Down Easy truly created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the evening special for everyone. Huge thanks to the whole team for making this celebration so memorable! We’ll definitely be back!

Misty and Frank have built quite the reputation as the “go to” spot for a laid back, family friendly brewery. Everyone here makes you feel like family, and it’s that atmosphere that will keep me coming back.

This place is amazing I love the atmosphere, service, food, and drinks!!

Thank you SDE for working with me to host a surprise bday party for my husband during a busy football Sunday. It was a hit and guests complimented the food (wings, fried pickles, bbq to mention a few), many selections on draft, and lots of TVs for sports viewing. We love the chill, friendly atmosphere of this Oakton spot to watch a game and unwind with friends. We've also brought the kiddos here - very family friendly. We'll be back soon!

SDE has been a fantastic supporter of our High School Crew Team. We've enjoyed hosting Parent Happy Hours here, and they recently went above and beyond by providing a generous Pasta Dinner fundraiser for our Warhawk Crew Family. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the food is consistently top-notch. Thank you, SDE!

I can't recommend Settle Down Easy enough! This family-run brewery in the heart of Oakton has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The selection of beers is fantastic, and their wine offerings are equally impressive. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making every visit feel welcoming and fun. Whether you're sitting at the bar or one of the many high or low-top tables, there's always a great vibe and interesting people to chat with. Also, there's regular entertainment with live music or trivia nights. The food is another highlight—delicious, fresh, and with generous portions that never disappoint. It's the perfect place for a date night, family outing, or even a solo visit to unwind. I look forward to returning again and again to enjoy all that Settle Down Easy has to offer!

Part of me doesn’t want to make it poplar but the smoked Rueben is amazing!! Brisket chili is great too and the beers are also very good. Don’t hesitate to go!!
