Chubby Squirrel Brewing Company Brewery • $
10382 Willard Way, Fairfax

“Really chill atmosphere that was great for kids. Lot's of coloring books, crayons, and even chalk for the chalkboard wall in the back area. Weeknight specials are really a good deal considering how expensive everything is these days. We went on a Thursday and got the smashburgers which were surprisingly juicy and hotdogs are only $1 if you want something simple for kids. Will definitely make that part of the dinner rotation.“

Bunnyman Brewing Brewery • $$
5583 Guinea Rd, Fairfax

“Checked them out for the first time on St. Patty's Day. It was very busy. They have a very nice space with lots of seating indoors and out and they had 2 food trucks which was nice. Their beer and sodas are self serve which was new to me but made it easy to try all the different types without having too much of any one. Very enjoyable experience!However, for craft beer lovers, their beer wasn't as full of body or flavor as you'd expect.“

Audacious Aleworks Brewery - Fairfax City Brewery •
10940 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax

“Definitely more bar and less restaurant then some of the other local brew pubs but was still fun. Ordered some pretzels and sandwiches. Both took a while so we filled up on popcorn a bit too much while we waited and then both came out at the same time so it was a bit much bread all at once. Split a sofia and barbarosa which were both a tad salty but good. The fried cheese drippings were a nice touch. Overall everyone enjoyed it.“

Commonwealth Brewing Co FFX Brewery • $
10426 Main St, Fairfax

“The Marvolo and the Marvoloso stouts are great... but they are gone. The Irish style sweet stout is pretty good, though. There are plenty of IPAs which IPA drinkers seem to really enjoy as well. I wish they allowed customization of their pizzas.. a fennel sausage and pepperoni would be awesome. They would really benefit from an acoustic study of the space. The design of the vintage concrete ceiling creates a massive amount of resonance which makes it easy to hear everything everywhere all at once. Super difficult for folks with any audio processing disorder.“

“First time and I'm very glad we came to check it out! Great comfortable atmosphere that offers a family area as well as 21 and over area in the bar area. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed out time. Several good beers were tried and I appreciate that a cider (woodchuck) us offered and was very good. We came in time for mimosas/beermosas and the brunch food. We both got huevos rancheros which was delicious. I also got the Nordic knot pretzels with the beer cheese and goat cheese, both were awesome. I'm glad I live so close and will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!“

Excellent food that has been properly prepared and presented. The dessert was a fantastic take on Caramel Crème Brûlée, most especially well presented in layer style. I am absent of our servers name but we were located to the right as you walk in, almost all the way to the end. Just a great example of how servers can make a meal much more appetizing with impeccable timing. An overall excellent outing. Highly recommend.“

Juicy Brewing Co Brewery • $$
257 Sunset Park Dr, Herndon - 8.45 miles

“As a Seattleite/Pacific Northwesterner & overall connoisseur of craft brewing, I’m proud to say that Juicy Brewing has become my favorite brewery! That speaks volumes since breweries such as Great Notion, Cascade Barrel House, Holy Mountain and many more top notch breweries are in my neighborhood. Whoever’s in charge here has some skills! Last week I was fortunate to visit Juicy again and was tickled to time it just right with the ANCHOVY variant drop of their AE OPAQUE!!! Juicy’s OPAQUE series are top tier hazy’s and each variant is unique and perfectly prepared. Along with their hazy offerings, the sours are out of this world! Quaint, cozy and cool is how I’d describe Juicy Brewing. Although I love their quirky glassware, I feel I’m being shorted a bit and would love other glassware/ pour options. Here in the PNW we drink hazy’s in full pint glasses and I’d love to see that or other options offered. That said; they don’t run a tab, so remember what you had! When you’re done it’s up to you to remember what you had…so be honest! Jaja. Never experienced that before. If you’re into Craft beer, especially hazy IPAs, double hazy IPAs and sours, you’ll love the vibe in this little nano knock out! **If you’re inclined, hit up Enatye Ethiopian Restaurant right around the corner for a truly magical and harmonious evening. CHEERS!“

“I love this place, I go just about every week and live about five minutes away. Great beers, good rotation for new stock. Make sure to go to Eugene's also for food! The crowds here have gotten so big for these events over the past few years, be sure to check their calendar for upcoming and recurring events ? parking can be a little tight so be sure to get there earlier.“

Mustang Sally Brewing Company Brewery • $$
14140 Parke Long Ct A-C, Chantilly - 7.74 miles

“There's always something new at Mustang Sally every time I visit. They have Trivia weekly if that's your thing. It's entertaining to watch even if you're not participating. Family friendly in that you can bring the kids if they're capable of sitting at the table with you, but don't expect to let them run around, it's not that kind of brewery.Beers: There staples are definitely sours/sour variants, and IPAs. Both of which they do an excellent job with. The beer names/themes are also always enjoyable, great throwbacks to pop culture.Events: Mustang Sally has some of the best themed events/parties in the area. The Sour Fest, Dill Pickle Fest, and countless others are always awesome and a great value.Venue: awesome pinball games, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food inside on most days at Eugene's.“

“I just wanted to post a review to say THANK YOU to the staff today!! I took my husband there for a "surprise" belated birthday get-together with family...I wasn't sure if 5 people or 15 people were going to show up! Our family loved the atmosphere and the food was soooooooo good. It was also so family friendly, as we had 6 kids under age 6! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again, but I'm sending all my NOVA family your way!!“

“This was my first visit to Starr Hill Biergarten and I was really pleasantly surprised. What a cool place! Eleven floors up to a big outdoor play space with views of the Tysons Corner skyline. It's December, so not much happening outdoors, but the small heated tent was cozy, warm, and festively decorated. The beers were great, especially the Warm Up Spiced Winter Ale. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered food and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap was excellent - just the right spice level, proportion of ingredients and firmly wrapped. The fries were tasty too, and my partner liked the brat.“

“Food was delicious, beer was great and staff was super friendly. Very family friendly and chill vibes. Only bummer was they didn’t have any ciders on tap. The few seltzers they had weren’t great. If you are looking for non-beer options it’s not the place for you.Food was more BBQ than Hawaiian (small hint of Hawaiian)—still delicious, but nothing like an LnL.Overall, great experience and would come back if I’m in the area again!“

There is a food truck outside but ?‍♀️ The employees were friendly and did recommend a great beer but dont try to start conversations with them. I know if you want convo call someone who cares but man come on give me 5 seconds after i just spent $35 ? Ill definitely be back next time i deliver to this area!!“

Lake Anne Brew House Brewery • $$
11424 Washington Plaza W, Reston - 8.64 miles

“Little quaint brewery located at Lake Anne waterfront. When I approached the place, my first impression was that it was located in somebody's basement. But opening the door, I was pleasantly surprised with clean and neat brewery and friendly greeting by the staff at the counter behind, which had about 10 taps all brewed in-store. The weather was a dampener. Otherwise, we could have sat on the deck by the river, sipping the drinks. Beer selection ranges from lighter to IPA to dark ones. They have cider, shandy, and Kombucha options, too. Food options are limited to nice, warm pretzels and some packaged snacks, which is expected in a small local brewery like this. The good news is they have a great neighbors serving good food like Lake Anne Coffee House and Kalypso. You can get the food ordered from there or bring your own food.“

Tucked Away Brewing Brewery • $$
8420 Kao Cir, Manassas - 9.67 miles

“I stopped in a few weeks ago to see what Tucked Away has to offer. They are located in a warehouse and have a large indoor area that can look in at the brewing workspace. They also have a few outdoor tables. I arrived right near opening time and had the place to myself for a little while. I sat at their bar area so I could chat with my server. He was informative and attentive. I found out that they have a Tuesday disc golf putting league, intriguing.I should have gotten a flight but was anxious and ordered a full sized jalapeno lager, can't remember the exact name. I'm not a regular lager drinker but a twist like this will get me every time. It had a decent peppery flavor and a little bit of burn, very nice. I followed that with a fix Bayonet neipa. Would recommend and will be adding to my area brewery crawl list.“

I'll definitely make it a point to try to come here more often.“

Aslin Beer Company - Herndon Brewery • $$
767 Elden St, Herndon - 9.56 miles

“We came in for a lunch after riding on the WO&D trail. They were easily accessible from the trail/parking. There are a ton of spots to put your bike inbetween the two buildings (Aslin & their food side). Mid-day there were plenty of open tables both inside and outside. There were 4 dogs visiting, so they are definitely dog friendly. The beer was great (we ordered the IPAs) and food was also good. We had the pizza and fry-chos. They do offer high chairs if you are dining with younger children. They also had an arcade area that some older children were enjoying while waiting for their food.“

It looked like a fun place to hang out.“
