4 Best Brewpubs near 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.“

“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.“

“The beers are good but I was a little shocked at the starting point for suggested tips when I checked out (18% and up). I hope they are paying a regular hourly wage and not a server wage. The person working was busy cleaning and doing the things a business would need to maintain their business but she was not a server to me. I poured my beer and bussed my table. I’m not sure what I would be tipping her for - to run my credit card??“

“Great atmosphere similar to many breweries I've been to. In addition to a huge bar and tabletop seating they have a separate room with a small arcade and another smaller bar. Had live music on the Saturday evening I visited. Food was great and really nice portion sizes. Menu included wine and cocktails beyond the beer you would expect from a brewery ?“
