Bar Food was pretty good. I had their smash burger with fries at the evening happy hour price. You order with a QR code and they bring it to you, so there's not much interaction in terms of service. So we decided to sit at the bar instead. Bartenders were pleasant, but not much interaction. Food was served hot and really prompt. Not much wait time. Atmosphere downstairs is eclectic, colorful, games, relaxed environment. They even have couches and cozy seats. Highly recommend. Plan to go back.

This is a fun place in shirlington with plenty of events, food and games. I came here for brunch with a friend. We didn't have a reservation but they had plenty of seating. My friend got the chicken avocado wrap and I got the burger with tater tots. The burger was so good! I would definitely come back just to have it again. The service was great. Everyone was very attentive. The ambiance for this place is great. It's so big and they have so many fun events. The tables are well spaced also.

After a long day of exploring the Nat. Mall and Arlington Cemetery. It was time for some beer and some bites. The beers on tap were plenty. Had a nice mix of local beers - which is what I stuck with. The pretzels weren't made in house, or at least I don't believe they were - but they were still well made and tasted good. Beer mustard was delicious. Astro has their own doughnuts and fried Chicken shop right next door, so I figured I had to try the fried chicken. Unfortunately they were out of dark meat so audibled to the white meat. It was still extremely moist and delicious! TV's had multiple games on. Didn't feel service was too friendly/welcoming at the start, but toward the end before leaving I felt that improved. Recommend stopping by for a beer and chicken!!

I love stopping by Astro Beer Hall for a nice cheat meal. Their smash burger and tatter tots are truly delish and hit the spot. They have plenty of seating and offer a relaxed dining vibe. They have plenty of screens for those looking to watch sports games. Huge shout out to their food runners who are super speedy and diligent!

If you're coming for beer and games, this is the place for you. Has plenty of TVs parking garages and seats and the food is definitely lacking, but the special after 9 PM five dollar chicken sandwiches and smash burgers is a deal. The fried pickles are heavily breaded and need to be taken off the menu immediately. Will be back you because my friend likes this place to watch the game

Brandi A.

My top recommendation when coming here: get the fried chicken! I'm not the biggest fan of fried chicken but this was IT!!! Got the honey chicken sandwich (not pictured), 4 piece chicken and kids burger sliders. Everything was great but highly recommend the fried chicken! They also have amazing HH deals and reverse HH deals! They were so strategic about game day coverage! Great fo game day! IG @msbellalove for more reviews!

I didn't know Shirlington had an Astro and it was such a pleasant surprise to learn so last night! The vibes were very similar to the location in DC, I wonder if it's expected for every Astro to have a basement area too. The asteroid fried chicken sandwich was excellent as expected and the tots were a perfect pairing. We were at the bar to watch college sports and the servers were very helpful in making sure we could see the games we wanted to see. Fun times to be had for sure when I come back next!

ewww. quite possibly the worst nachos i've ever had. the cheese sauce lacked both flavor and heat. Poorly constructed and not enough chicken

F B.

the service was good tho our waitress was clearly overworked. It took way too long to order refills. If you're coming to watch the game and order a beer, this may be your place. The sirachi wings were pretty good but that's where the food flavor ended. Save your money and pick any other restaurant in Shirlington to eat. The noise level is too loud to have a conversation but normal for a sports bar. Two of us ordered the frozen drinks. cherry lemonade and mango something, both were bitter and returned for an equally lackluster iced tea. The fried chicken nachos used a cheese sauce that was both cold and tasteless. I'd NEVER come back for food!! If you're coming for anything other than to watch a game and pay too much for a beer, keep walking. I could've saved my $200

Lots of space and ideal for large groups, the bench seating in the back comfortably sat all 9 of our group. We made a reservation but it was fairly empty during brunch time on Sunday. Our server was quick and attentive. The egg royale was good -- soft and savory biscuit breakfast sandwich; -the egg was cooked well, bacon wasn't crispy enough but edible, the biscuit itself was starting to get soggy but I prefer it soggy to dry. The tater tots weren't that great--very standard and no seasoning - on the dry side, so get something to dip with. I tried the rosemary mustard which was good (charged extra). But they were very generous with the portion. I was stuffed. The cold brew was okay, not the most memorable. I liked that it came in a to go container because I definitely couldn't finish it because it was strong. I'd say food is better than what I'd expect for a beer hall, so that's a plus! Would I come here specifically to eat? Probably not. Definitely top contender for big groups and gatherings though.

Gina A.

This is an interesting place but I think best for a younger crowd. The good: The totchos were amazing. Rarely do you get perfectly cooked tater tots. Here they were and loaded up with cheese sauce, sour cream etc. ...and the Bavarian pretzels! Chef's kiss. The bad: The bar was incredibly loud. The floor, the walls and the ceiling are all hard surfaced. Nothing absorbs any sound. It was also really hot in this bar. We were even downstairs and still sweating. The beer selection is quite extensive, but I am unlikely to return. There was no table service, you had to order and pick up food at the bar. I am used to places being comfortable and not sweating indoors.

Barbara M.

This review is based on the gaming options and ambience. I didn't have a chance to try any food this time so I will be back for a review for that. I stopped in just as I was walking by because the place looked intriguing. I was interested in throwing some darts so that's the first thing I did. I'm actually pretty good at the game but noticed the bull's-eye was not sticking. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it cannot stick because the board is worn down and missing in the bull's-eye area. Anyway after that game was over, I walked around and saw that the place is pretty cool. There's a downstairs area for adults only that is a bar with a lot of cool, chill areas as well. I talked to the bartender when I was down there who told me after 10 PM things really pick up so that's pretty exciting. All in all seems like a nice place.

The ordering process was very easy for our pre-ordered items, as well as having individual tabs at the bar. Would definitely recommend having an event here! read more

Wow new brewery in our neck of the woods!! Huge spot, great menu, excellent service! We had Lisa as our bartender and she knocked it out of the park... She recommended excellent food items, she was quick to bring drinks and when are honey mustard and come she took time to go back to the kitchen to find it. We also met Nate, and he was a jack of all trades! Shaking cocktails, taking orders, and having people out, and we're pretty sure that he was a general manager of sorts. So nice to see someone in a senior management position jumping in to help out on the opening night! Can't wait to come back! read more

A friend has been recommending this place for months and I finally had an excuse to try it out. Had a delicious signature donut burger with the impossible burger and their special sauce. This will be a new go to healthy option in Shirlington. I sat at the bar so the service was ok as were the fried pickles and dipping sauce.

As Shirlington residents, we were excited that there was a new restaurant/bar opening in the old brewery space. Upon arriving, we decided to try out the games. The pac man game is suppose to be two player but the one side doesn't work. No big deal, we moved on. We went back outside to the host to be seated. Took a few minutes and the waitress took our order. The food came out quickly but incorrectly. Just wanted to note: You cannot order your burger any particular temperature medium-well or well for example). We didn't have any toppings and she didn't tell us they don't have American cheese. After ten minutes of waiting for the waitress to come back, I finally got up and found someone to look for her to correct the order. The order went back and was corrected. The food is below average. The burger meat wasn't good and only half the burger was eaten. We asked if fries could take the place of tater tots and told yes. Only after getting the bill did we know it would cost $2 extra dollars. Making a burger and fries $19.50. More than half was left and the waitress didn't even ask any questions. The chicken is bland, Chick-fil-A is way better and costs less. For the price point, the food needs to be good and this is a complete miss. Won't be returning. read more

Does the side of the bar closest to the windows exist? I felt like Casper the Ghost. The bartender seemed shocked when I got up and walked around to the other side of the bar to get his attention. He acted like he never saw me sitting there. We had to consistently beg the bartenders to pay any attention to us and ended up getting our own silverware and napkins off another table. I was also watching a football game, and they changed the channel without ever asking if it was ok. As someone who worked in the restaurant business, I found the whole experience extremely unsatisfactory. I guess the moral of this story is to only visit when Mike is working. He wasn't there so no one knew what they were doing. read more

The food was OK; some of the beer was out, but the service was pretty bad. The manager should focus on training the service staff because our waitress took our orders but never checked in on our drinks or food. She put in the wrong dessert order, and we asked for it to be fixed, which she acknowledged. But when we got our cookies to go, it was the exact wrong order.

What a fun place. What we thought would initially be a beer place, turned out to be a lot more. This place was filled with people even at early hours and there were so many things to do. It's filled with all kind of games and TV s on top of a large variety of foods, beers and cocktails. Was really a great find during our road trip. I had a salad a few beers while my family tried many other things off their menu and there were no complaints. Thank you for a wonderful evening. read more

Service is attentive. They consistently ask if I need anything or even if I'm okay. The arcade can be a little much for me, but it's nice to see people having a good time here. And the music seems like it's the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it, but not too impactful like it's trying to hammer your heart out of your chest. And the food seems like it's on the better than average level for a bar and upper tier for a family-friendly restaurant. I've ordered the chicken sandwiches and they haven't failed to be juicy yet.

I'll be keep my stars neutral since this place is new. But to sum it up succinctly, it has the hospitality and feel of a Chuck E. Cheese and the culinary chops of the snack bar at a Bowl America! For the first time ever, we asked for the check after the apps; to cut our losses! The Buffalo wings were dull- literally 6 naked pieces tossed w. sauce and blue cheese dressing, for $14, at least throw in a couple veggie sticks... The Deviled Eggs were ordered before the wings, but found sitting in the kitchen after asking the server to check twice. The yolk filling by then, was dry. Lastly, not their fault, but if you're expecting a brewery (since the former tenant was one- all of that equipment is gone) there are no beers brewed on site. I would say it's more of a place to bring kids to play, and there is a menu if the adults get hungry. It is not a place adults would choose to dine at, that happens to be kid friendly. The food runners seemed a bit lost, but our server was nice and friendly. Hope this place improves bc it's survival of the fittest at Shirlington! read more

Samuel Beckett's Irish Gastro Pub

We have been to Samuel Beckett's many times over the decades, and it remains a reliable, simple,…read morevalue option for dinner or drinks or brunch in Shirlington. Not special, but reliable, with something on the menu to please anybody. It's not our first choice for food (this isn't exactly a chef-driven restaurant), but if you like Irish fare, they do a respectable job with all of that: corned beef, bangers & mash, lamb, fish & chips, etc., plus burgers and "bar food"-level salads and the like. Samuel Beckett's deserves extra points for NOT raising prices to the same degree as some of its Shirlington neighbors. For a table service restaurant these days, it's a greater value than it's ever been, and that's much appreciated.

We shared the Irish baked brie. This was tasty but definitely could have been warmer. I had the Lamb Stew as my entree. It was just OK. I prefer a creamier sauce, and the lamb wasn't as tender as I expected. The Irish brown bread (thin slice) that accompanied it was tasty, but the butter was not Kerrygold as the menu states. I'll select a different entree if I return. My friend had Shepherd's Pie which she enjoyed. She also ordered the bread pudding. I had a bit but it was too sweet for me. We did enjoy the ice cream that came with. Karlen, our waiter was attentive, and offered to split the cost of our appetizer. Much appreciated!

I saw a man painting when I walked in here and it was very detailed. It is a lively scene in here. Palette is a nice play on words for the art palette and palate for taste. They serve tapas (small plates) for a reasonable price. There is an all you can eat option in which your entire table has to order, or you can order a la carte. I ordered primarily off the happy hour menu which included the chicken slider, shrimp tacos, jerk chicken skewer, garlic wings and for dessert, I got churros. Most of the food here were extremely salty and did not agree with my palate. The shrimp tacos were the best thing I ate as the veggies gave the taco a refreshing taste. Not the most sanitary either as I found a piece of hair in my food. There is a parking garage nearby a block away.

Ichiban Sushi & Ramen - Arlington

Tried the veggie gyoza and the GOLDEN shrimp - that is a must order, so good! they do have Happy Hour from M-FR from 230- 630pm!! such a long HH, you need to take advantage of. The Seared salmon roll from the HH menu was my favorite. The Japanese cream puff was SO light, it was a perfect ending to our meal. The free parking garage next door (library parking) makes it so convenient. Highly recommend for a lowkey dinner date out!

Ichiban Sushi & Ramen is a solid addition to the Shirlington dining scene. The first thing that…read morestands out is the environment, the restaurant is very clean and nice, which makes it a pleasant spot for a sit-down meal. Parking is a hit or miss, as far as the street, but there's garage parking nearby. Regardless, both you have to pay. The portions here are quite generous, and you definitely won't leave hungry and most likely with food to go for another meal at home. I.S.H. ROLL - $16.95 This roll was so delicious and very filling. It's packed with deep-fried tempura shrimp, jalapeño, cream cheese, and avocado, then topped with spicy kani, eel sauce, and spicy mayo (I omitted the eel sauce). The flavors work really well together, though for the price point, I do wish they used real crab meat instead of the kani (imitation crab). It would have taken the roll to the next level! I thought I would want more rolls to try but I barely could finish this alone. SHRIMP RAMEN BOWL - $18.95 I ordered this with the veggie broth, and it was a huge amount of food. It's a very hearty bowl, I added chili paste for some heat, though I personally wish they had chili oil instead, as it usually mixes into the broth a bit more smoothly. SHIRLEY TEMPLE $4 I had a Shirley Temple, it was a good drink, but be aware that they don't offer free refills on it which kinda was disappointing. As for the service, it was nice and perfectly decent. The staff was polite enough and the food arrived in a timely manner. Overall, Ichiban is a great choice if you want a clean atmosphere and large portions. While there are a few small areas for improvement like the crab meat and the drink refills, it's still a very satisfying place for a meal in Shirlington.

Upon entering the restaurant, first impression was that it was clean compared to other sports bars. We reserved the private room which was comfortable. Usually when I frequent sports bars, I have a hard time finding something on the menu that I find appetizing. Well, not here! I've been a fan of mushrooms since childhood and so the mushroom ravioli stood out to me and it was delicious! It's a hefty portion if you add additional protein. Too bad I forgot my to-go container and noticed when I was nearly home :( I tried my friend's Fish & Chips which were equally delicious and perfectly crispy. I'll come back to get my own plate of Fish & Chips and French Onion Soup. The White Russian was especially well-done. They also had St. Patrick's Day specials and while I don't think I would try the Sparkling Shamrock in the future though enjoyed that they had fun options to try. I also am appreciative that there are a handful of non-alcoholic options for someone like me who gets easily flushed. This was my first non-alcoholic beer I've tried and am a fan.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Astro Beer Hall along with three of my buddies, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The place has it all: fantastic food, impeccable service, and a vibrant ambiance that's hard to beat. The menu at Astro Beer Hall was impressive, with a variety of options that catered to all our tastes. We started with a selection of appetizers, which were all delicious and perfect for sharing. The main courses were equally satisfying, with each dish arriving hot and flavorful. The quality of the ingredients shone through in every bite, making it a memorable meal for all of us. The service was a highlight of our visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, especially when it came to their beer recommendations. They were quick to assist us, provided great insights into the menu, and checked in regularly to ensure our glasses were never empty and our needs were fully met. The vibe at Astro Beer Hall is fantastic. The modern yet cozy decor creates a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for socializing. The space is well-designed, offering a sense of energy and excitement without being overwhelming. It's the ideal setting for a night out with friends, where you can enjoy good conversations in a lively yet comfortable environment. Astro Beer Hall is definitely a gem in Arlington for anyone looking to enjoy great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you're out with friends or looking to make new ones, this beer hall provides the perfect backdrop for a fantastic evening. Highly recommended, and we can't wait to return! read more

Dec 1st 2025 Time: 12 AM I received horrible service from a bartender working upstairs that got smart with me prior to wanting to place an order which I always have the money. He was very rude,snarky, and dismissive towards me. I plan to escalate this because as a regular who tips fairly well at this location. I shouldn't have been subject to rude behavior before even placing my order all i wanted was food and drink. Like logically why spend money somewhere if im going to encounter rudeness out of nowhere. I wouldn't trust any soul on earth handling my food if im greeted with nastiness even the slightest. The environment is too chill for attitude problems out of left field. Do better Astro! read more

A bit pricey but going off taste alone - The Mozzarella Sticks were AMAZING, the Asteroid Chicken Sliders were a bit too spicy with the medium heat for me but had a good flavor overall, the Apollo Smashburger Sliders were really delicious, the Nachos were decent but could skip next time! The cocktails were tasty - the Squirt Paloma was very good! The beer list is better upstairs but the VIBE is really fun here.
