Great spot to dance and dine! We go there all the time—and drag a few friends along when we feel generous. Somehow, we always end up meeting new ones too. Every band is fantastic, and honestly, resistance is futile: the music just pulls you onto the floor until you’re dancing your heart out.

Pete’s was spectacular. Great food, outstanding service and the music with lead singer, Jan was amazing. I haven’t enjoyed a band as good as theirs for many many years. It was our first time to Mikes and we will be going back.!!

Pete's Tavern is truly a hospitable place.
I came on vacation from Puerto Rico and had an amazing time. The atmosphere is welcoming, the customer service was outstanding — and the bartender especially stood out! Their attention and kindness made my experience even more special. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town!

A local pub through and through, I have passed this place countless times but finally went in for a celebratory dinner with family and friends. Live band was fun. Service was friendly and responsive even though the dining room was packed beyond their expectation for a Saturday night. The rib eye was juicy. Grilled grouper special was delicious. The salmon was a little dry. The burgers were all good.

Pete's never disappoints, the vibe is always friendly and inviting! The service especially from the bartender Bo is always on point! The ribeye is a must try as well! If you are looking for a fun and inviting environment with live music this is the spot!

Turned away a veteran with a service animal. What they did was illegal. Anyone wishing to file an easy lawsuit can stop in here.

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed my experience here. After a long day, looking for respite from the busy Saturday restaurant crowds, my friends and I chanced upon this restaurant. It was clean, the staff was personable, and the live music (Route 66 band) was incredible. All the ingredients in the food looked and tasted fresh, and the portions were quite generous. My party really enjoyed the chicken tenders, potato skins, the cheeseburgers, and the cheese steaks. Beer was also served cold and quick. Overall Pete’s tavern was an amazing experience and even though it’s quite out of our way we plan on returning again. Big shoutout to the amazing staff and band there!

Nice clean vibe and friendly staff here. Food was fresh, quick, and done just right. The wait staff was super pleasant and personable, which goes a long way in my book. Only thing is, it's a little challenging to have dinner while the band is warming up and/or playing. But, the vibe was great so it made me wish I had come just for drinks and live music. Next time!

I'm biased; my hubby played in a band with the original owners, when it was called by another name. FOOD was better, service EXCELLENT, and that made the atmosphere awesome. It's looks better & still a GREAT local treasure!! Kids welcome!

Walked in and turned around. Wasn’t my crowd BUT will I will say is, the energy was warm and kind. And, I love that in Northern VA everyone has spaces to enjoy themselves. You guys are clearly doing something right. Cheers!
