We decided to try this place out after spending some time at Great country farms. It is literally a…read more2 minute drive to Dirt farm Brewing. There is plenty of parking and many areas to sit down. Tip - call ahead and reserve an outdoor seat in the shade as it can get very hot up there and many of the tables do not have umbrellas. If a manager is a reason this - I think it would be very useful to add additional umbrellas to the lower decks so that patrons will stay longer. It just gets way too hot sitting by an uncovered table. It's "self service" and you order at the counter and pick up your food. They have many options for beers. I think the only non- alcoholic option was cokes. We ordered the cheese pizza which was fine. I mean you don't really come here for the food- it's more about the view , vibe and drinks. Although they did have a great food truck the day we went that sold smash burgers and fries which was really nice. The bathrooms are clean - although one of the soap dispensers and taps were not working. Also- they ran out of paper towels to dry your hands. I think it was just very busy when we went. I did appreciate that they had a stool in the bathrooms for younger kids - which is very helpful. I did see many patrons brought their dogs which is quite nice that you can enjoy some drinks and food with your furry friends. My kids just loved it there. They could run around on the grass and roll down the hills. Like I said - it's just such a great vibe. They also had a band playing which was really nice. I also noticed a little craft market / vintage market next to the restaurant as well. If you are in the area and want some grown up drinks and a vibe - go check this place out.

There was live music, and the band was great. We ordered wings, which were good, very crunchy, and served with the sauce on the side. The only downer was the cashier. She was not customer-service oriented--no smile, just asked what we wanted. It didn't feel welcoming, and it wasn't just with us; it looked like she was having a bad day. We plan to come back because the rest of the staff was friendly and the place has a good ambiance.

For food, we got the chicken tenders, pepperoni flatbread, nachos , eggrolls and the Lark sampler! Everything was made-to-order very delicious! Even though it rained towards the end of our stay, the indoor section and covered patio area is very nice! It was packed with families, people with dogs etc. There was also live music until 4 PM on Sunday. The live music was inside but it was great song selections and it wasn't too loud. And there were big screen TVs everywhere for watching all of the games! Perfect spot to hang out with family and friends drinking great beer and munching on comfort food!

Full Review on Lark - In the grand scheme of Craft Beer in Northern Virginia - Lark is a fairly new…read morebrewery to our area. I've been going to breweries in Northern Virginia for over 14 years now and have seen a ton come and go. From Ocelot, to Old Ox, from Adroit Theory to Aslin, Solace, Honor, Route 7, Wheatland Springs, Dominion, Caboose, Crooked Run, Bluemont, Dirt Farm and probably some more. Bottom line - Lark is your average family get together venue, it rivals with Vanish, Dirt Farm and Bear Chase. Tons of room for the fam to run around and play, however - very limited parking space for the amount of seating areas. The service was okay, as someone who has served Beer and Wine for almost 3 years, I totally understand. However the staff was pretty hard to work with. They would stand behind the counter, they don't make eye contact and they don't ask who's next or really know how to engage the customer. They don't seem to be interested in their own beer. At one point there were 7 employees behind the counter while there were 3 -5 people in line. They should have teamed up and taken care of all 3 - 5 people at once. Pro tip: one person can serve multiple people, you don't need 7 people behind the bar. Get them working, you have waaaaay too many employees and barely any of them know what IBU means. For the beer, if you're a person who uses Untappd, I gave the brewery a 3/5. The beers were okay and probably need a lot more time for research. Why is a pilsner extra hoppy? But if you're really looking for a great venue with amazing service and amazing beer? Annnnnd family time? Hit up Wheatland Springs and you will not be disappointed Save yourself some time and money and just go to Ocelot for good beer and for beer and the family go to Wheatland Springs Lark is fairly new to the game but they're pulling the venue vibe card. Service 2/5 Beer 3/5 Venue 4/5 (Live music outside would take it further)

Not a beer connoisseur so my apologies for those who are seeking the beer reviews…read more The food is great. The brisket nachos are a must to try. The pretzel can be shared among a party of 4 because it's massive. The customer service was great with a friendly staff greeting you upon arrival.

The evening we went they had an open mic night which was pretty cool and it's dog friendly. The beers were good but I was food focused tonight so wanted to review. And review the wedding party experience. We had a private space upstairs and we were able to order downstairs or upstairs. Everything came out fairly quickly. The staff were all very nice and bathrooms were clean. So what did I try...I tried their logo lager (really good), honey bbq chicken wings (quite big so it was filling to have 1 order of 6 wings), classic nachos (wasn't my favorite but still decent), loaded tater tots (was a big hit with all the kids and me), Italian sub (I did like this but the bread used was just too hard for me so I mainly picked at the things inside), pepperoni pizza (just your average pizza but goes great with beer), and last thing I tried was the gluten free brownie with ice cream (I enjoyed it). All and all thought this place has a decent selection of bar foods that were mostly tasty. I thought their portions were really good as well. I would come back to try more of their drinks.

Dark woods, colored lights stickers, TV playing, music going and the vats for brewing. Walked up and took a seat at the empty bar, arriving minutes after they opened on a Monday. Looked at the tap menu, as well as can for sale. My sister ordered a lemon lime cider and I decided on a Polvo Pils. After that trip to Prague, I will always search out a good pilsner. Ocelot had a wonderful pilsner, served properly. I followed this up with Little Black Book. Can you ever go wrong with a nitro tap beer? The answer is no. So, after two rounds, I was impressed with the beer, definitely better than what I had tasted the previous days. The beertender was attentive, the decor was somewhat eclectic, lots of colored lights strung from the ceiling. Barrels against the wall, as the main beer hall opened up to the production side of the establishment. The pinball room was awesome, wall to wall pinball machines, light flashing, looked like it would really be a happening place at quitting time. All in all it was the best beer experience I had while visiting. Would recommend a stop if you don't want to battle traffic out of IAD at the wrong time of day.

There's an adventure park right next door, drop your kids off and then sneak on over to this brewery. They make all their beer except for maybe 1 or 2 other crafts. Their food is craft food. Think of trays of freshly crackle pork rinds, trays of potatoes made 3 different ways and fusion snacks that will make you wish you ate hear regularly. The place is clean and full of really fun decor. There is an upstairs for the overflow of customers. What really sticks out is the exceptional staff. They appear to love their jobs. We always get a nice greeting when we arrive and when we leave.

During today's 100 degree weather only inside service with very nice air conditioning. They often host live music. There's a bunch of snack and full meal options. The food is delicious and made fresh. The cocktail list has about 10 types. They have a Bourbon menu and a full beer menu(made in house). The food is so good. It's not the bar cheap eats like most places but it's crafted well. Our favorite is the fried pork rinds that are still sizzling when the tray is brought out. Many people around us ordered the special pig roast. Lots of meats and sides on a platters we had already eaten or we would have gotten that special. Let's talk about the staff. They are super friendly and very attentive. They welcome us and when leaving several staff wishes us a Happy 4th. Lots of TVs showing some fun shows including the Nathan's hotdog eating contest in Coney Island.
