50 Best Cocktail Bars near Tysons

“Today, after landing at DC Reagan we decided to waste time while waiting for our hotel room at the Archer Tysons to be prepared. While searching AI this restaurant came up so after reading the reviews we decided to visit.

The aesthetic of the restaurant was gorgeous, neither feminine nor masculine but definitely modern and warm. We decided to sit at the bar which was very comfortable and boasted plenty of seating. The bartender/server, Carlos , looked up and saw us and initially didn’t speak ..my husband tapped my leg which is usually an indication to leave but I said let’s give him a chance and boy were we happy we did !

Carlos was fun, courteous, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable during our visit. He gave us his recommendations on drinks, food, and also shared all the specials the company was offering.

Hubby had the Burger and fries and I had the Turkey Burger with sweet potato fries. We also had alcoholic beverages , hubby had a delicious maple old fashioned and I had the blackberry margarita. Everything was cooked to perfection and Carlos put his entire foot in those drinks 🥰!

For dessert I ordered an inflammation Wellness drink because the ingredients looked interesting and it was delicious!

We shared stories of our travels and Carlos shared his experiences in Thailand. The restaurant honored a military discount for me (retired Veteran) and our bill with a 25% tip was about $91

Overall I would say our experience was a 10/10! Restaurant and restrooms were extremely clean, food & drinks were delicious and Carlos was the cherry on top!“

“The entire experience was awesome! We didn’t have reservations, as we just came from a show. They worked us in and the tapas style dining was just what we needed for an upscale, late-night meal. Flavor was out of this world and presentation was art! I’ll definitely be back & highly recommend the ninniku noodles with duck confit. 🤤“

“I recently dined at this establishment, having a late lunch. I was very impressed by the attentiveness/politeness of the staff. I ordered goat curry with garlic naan, and the meal did not disappoint. My server, Danish, was an excellent host and made the experience very warm and welcoming. I will dine here again.“

“We hosted a happy hour there, staff are super fun and nice, food is awesome, cocktail is really good!“

“The food appears... lesser quantity than in DC. The biscuits were smaller, and harder. I saw no bacon. The sausage (pork or chicken) was not "week done" as with the DC restaurant. Also there wasn't any shrimp. I got there at 9:am, and was told reservations were needed. So I Sat at the bar. Def a 3.5 rating on food here“

“I came in for Happy Hour - just to grab a small something to eat! I had such a great experience thanks to Kiera! She was so kind, calm, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Her warm energy made everything feel easy. It’s always special when someone’s kindness stands out, and Kiera’s definitely did. Thank you!“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone!“

“We had a really great dinner experience with their prefix menu, and like other reviews that mentioned, the prefix is really good value. Service was superb as well, the waitress actually grilled the meat for us. They had non alcoholic beverage options. It’s been years since I had bingsoo and cold buckwheat noodles with beef broth so it was very sentimental for me to have those dishes again! Atmosphere was definitely more upscale than a regular Korean bbq restaurant.“

“Great visit for a first timer! Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and amazing service!“

“The restaurant is surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. The menu offers high-quality and original "fine dining" dishes.“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“This is a great cocktail bar that also happens to have pretty good food! The only thing holding this review from being 5 stars is that the owner needs to assign more staff to the Saturday evening shift. There was 25-30 customers between 6:30 and 8pm on a Saturday, but only TWO employees working outside the kitchen. No host, no busser, no server. Just ONE waiter and ONE bartender during prime time dinner hours. The bartender was serving food instead of bartending and the waiter was frantically trying to take orders from 10+ tables. No one was bussing (dirty tables were left unattended until new customers arrived) and you had to find the waiter or bartender in order to get a seat. I hope the owner or manager sees this because I felt so bad for the two staff trying to run the front house of this restaurant on a Saturday night. They were doing their best and deserve more help so they can provide better service to customers.“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“I came to Tacombi for the first time for a work happy hour and we had a great time! Very happy with the food (delicious, fresh tacos), drinks (spicy margarita and watermelon tequila drink were a hit!), and the service was friendly and prompt. The open patio atmosphere added to to a lovely evening. 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.“

“Came here over the weekend while in the area for work and I'm so glad I did! My husband and I loved the food, especially the chocolate cake. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, Ann/Anne was our server and did a fantastic job. She mentioned she was new, but you would never know it. Highly recommend!“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

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

“We ordered delivery so did not experience the atmosphere. The food was delivered piping hot and very flavorful. We ordered steamed dumplings, pad Thai, panang curry, and mango sticky rice. All was excellent. Linjee Thai is my new favorite Thai restaurant. I can't wait to visit for a meal.“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“Pulled pork Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts is what I had. It was seasoned just right!!! We had a sweet waitress as well. Highly recommend this gem!“

“We’ve been going to SER for several years now especially for family celebrations. The food and service is always excellent. I highly recommended SER for any occasion!“

“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!!“

“Best rooftop in Bethesda. Beautiful sunsets and fabulous cocktails! 🍸“

“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!“

“Great food Butter chicken was particularly good“

“Everything. Amazing food and staff - any wait to comeback! Kale salad Peas Chicken cutlet amazing!!!“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“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.“

“I loved my spicy Calabrian pasta and Olivia treated us so well. We had mentioned that we were shopping for bridal shoes today and she made it special for us by bringing out an extra sample of dessert. The whole experience was wonderful! I would come back!“

“Restaurant for the family. Nice environment!!!!“

“Incredible food, outstanding service, and exceptional customer care.

My family and I came here a few months ago to celebrate my husband's birthday. Before our reservation, I reached out through the restaurant's website because I have multiple severe food allergies. To my surprise, the head chef personally called me to discuss the menu. He patiently answered all of my questions, carefully documented my allergies, and assured me he could prepare my meal safely since everything is made from scratch.

He never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing the staff. That meant so much to me because dining out with severe food allergies is often stressful, and it's easy to feel like a burden. His kindness and willingness to accommodate me made all the difference.

The Simon prepared my meal safely, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone else in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with live jazz music that made the evening even more special.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I would absolutely come back. Thank you for making my husband's birthday such a memorable night!“

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

“Five stars for what they do alone...proceeds from Stray Cat Cafe and Lost Dog Sandwiches and Pizza next door donated to animal rescue. The menu at Stray Cat is a bit more sophisticated than the sandwiches and pizza next door - reliable comfort food. Pictures of cats adorn the walls. What's not to love here? Good craft beer list too, just like next door.“

“Great food. Great people fun place to have great good with fun people“

“Kinda pricey for the jerk chicken taco 🌮. one for $4.50“

“Delicious food, fast and friendly service. I really liked the Tokyo mule. Recommend!“

“This place was such a delightful discovery! The attentive care by the owner and staff made us feel welcomed and at home. And the food was so good! Truly fantastic. We had the grilled tilapia with bantu and okra soup with fufu. We were super grateful for water and bowl at our table to wash our hands before and after the meal, too. We'll definitely be back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I have always had great experiences at Bear Branch Tavern, but today I had Ash and Maria as my server and bartender. They were fantastic. I could not recommend them enough. 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.“

“Visiting from Birmingham, this was some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever had. It was very affordable and delicious.“

“The service was excellent. I like the special treat in the end. Glad we decided to go here.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant during my stay at the Ritz-Carlton. The breakfast was consistently delicious, and I appreciated the staff going above and beyond, especially when they tracked down the peach cream cheese after it was no longer on the menu. The bar area has a fantastic vibe; I even caught the NBA Finals there and had a great time socializing with fellow guests. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“They’ve ruined me for Lebanese food anywhere else lol“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“
