I met a small group of friends here on a Friday evening around 7 - we were looking for a new spot to try in Arlington and found this one! This is much nicer than the average pub - it has a long granite/stone bar, comfy lounge chairs for seating, and dimly lit high top tables. Definitely a nice bar for date night; it is not the casual vibe that one might expect for a bar in this area. Our server was quick and friendly; she made some good recommendations on the cocktails and appetizers to try. Appreciate the solid service throughout the evening. The drinks were pricey but good - we got a variety of drinks ranging from espresso martinis to standard rails to margaritas. Everyone reported back that the drinks were tasty and well made (albeit a little pricier compared to other bars in that area). They provide each table with small bowls of popcorn to snack on which is fantastic (popcorn is one of my favorite snacks!). Our group thought that the cauliflower buffalo wings we ordered were good (I didn't try them). Overall, a nice spot to try and one I could see myself returning to for a fancier night out. The dimly lit and plush environment definitely makes this feel like a grown and mature bar. read more

Decided to try Brass Rabbit today because a friend has been recommending it. The bar was pretty busy, but my friend and I were seated right away at a table. We were told it was happy hour, which included $8 appetizers and lettuce wraps , as well as $8 martinis. I'm not a vodka drinker , but got the Cucumber martini since it was the only non-vodka option. It was STRONG, but good, especially for the price. We also got the wings, which the host said she enjoyed grilled (that option isn't on the menu, so make sure to ask). The wings could have used a little more seasoning but they were grilled to perfection! I ordered another batch of wings to-go, and those were much more flavorful and again, grilled perfectly! We both got burgers, which were ok. I would have liked a little more flavor there as well, but it wasn't terrible. I asked for onions on the side and that did the trick for me. The decor in the restaurant was super cute and unique. Rabbits everywhere! The TVs on the wall were also framed, which I loved! I'd definitely visit again for happy hour! read more

I went to Brass Rabbit on a Saturday for brunch. It's a good spot for day drinking or for a party vibe type of brunch. My girlfriends and I (group of 6) made reservations and had a great table near the window. This is noteworthy because a lot of the bar/restaurant feels dark. There were definitely some highlights: -The overall rabbit theme. Super cute! -$5 bottles of champagne (bottom shelf - but a great deal) -Shakshuka - delicious dish perfect for sharing -Carrot cake pancakes Everything else was just OK... basic brunch/lunch items that will fill you up if you're hungry Overall I liked this place. It was my first visit (RIP to the old Bracket Room) I'm planning to return for happy hour or in the spring/summer when I can enjoy the front patio. read more

I came in here one evening and was really pleased with the place. The bartenders are all friendly and quick. I got their lamb burger with a seasonal cocktail (or 2) and both were phenomenal! The manager, Michy is a gracious host, she's super attentive and is great to talk with. Also I love the lighting and decor of the space, the black and white theme is a nice upscale look. I'll definitely be back for happy hours and brunch! read more

Came here during the week day via Uber. If your not from the area street parking is sparse, however there's usually garage parking near by. As for me I prefer not to drive. The restaurant wasn't busy when I arrived and I was able to get a comfortable spot at the bar. The inside of the pub looked trendy and smelled clean, unlike some other bars that smell like left over beer. I ordered a burger and Ruben. The burger was on spot, had the right temperature, and was filling. The Ruben on the other hand was smaller than I thought it would be, I would suggest going with the burger if your hungry since there's not to much difference in price and the burger is meatier IMO. No complaints about the service. All the servers were professional and around to attend to me when I needed something. read more

Grilled Cheese & Tomato Bisque menu price $16, has bacon and tomato inside and with choice of fries The tomato bisque is in a literal 2.5ml side sauce cup for the grilled cheese. When I ordered this sandwich I expected the tomato bisque to be a bowl of bisque, at the very least a cup. The bisque came in the same size ramekin as the ranch and ketchup. I placed a To Go order with three entrees and an appetizer, when I got in the car I checked my bag and didn't see a cup or bowl of tomato soup. When I went back in and told the server the tomato soup was forgotten, he came back from the kitchen with just two little ramekins. Once I got home I did see one single 2.5ml ramekin of bisque in the box, so technically it was not forgotten. However, after going back in and receiving two more small ramekins, I got about 7.5ml of bisque. ( if I'm not mistaken there is about 100ml in 1/2 a cup.) Mini Eastern Shore Crab Cakes appetizer $19 for 3, we tried them, and did not eat them. The cheddar burger was good, nice flavor, regular garden set, I was not asked on the cook of the burger and came medium well. A normal good bar burger. Roasted chicken entree $28 with rice, mushrooms cauliflower, sun dried tomato gravy, was great, nice portion. Honestly the sun dried tomato gravy in the rice tasted so similar to the bisque, it does leave me wondering if it is the same sauce! read more

Came here with for brunch with some friends on a Saturday morning around 11. It was pretty empty at first, but started to fill up so the hour went on, so I would probably make a reservation just in case. The server was very nice and came around multiple times to see if we needed anything. It's not the fanciest place, so if you're looking for something with more brunch vibes this probably wouldn't be a good spot. Most of the seating is at high tops and is pretty casual. The food was very good, but theres definitely some better brunch places in the area. I got an egg white omelette and liked it. They do not have a coffee or espresso menu. One of my friends wanted an iced coffee, so our waitress offered to chill hot coffee for her. It was not good, but was nice of her to do so! This is a good spot if you're looking to drink, but was probably not the best pick for our brunch. I would come back to try their drinks! read more

This fun restaurant and bar in Clarendon is a fun spot to hangout on either a weeknight or weekend. The large bar provides ample space to serve many customers at once. Our only complaint was that the bartenders were not attentive to customers with empty glasses. We would've ordered more drinks, but it seemed like we could never get their attention. Overall, I would come here again. read more

Enjoyed an after work happy hour at Brass Rabbit Pub while on a work trip -- we are not locals. The staff were accommodating to our gluten allergy and had a great draft list. The wings were exactly what we needed -- not overly fancy but flavorful. We felt the music clashed a bit with the ambiance of the place -- didn't really feel like a pub. Would recommend to folks traveling into town looking for a quick happy hour spot. read more

Always enjoy my time here! They have a fun vodka flight that I always enjoy and the food is always delicious

The brunch is sooo amazing! Definitely try the carrot cake pancakes! Plus their mimosas are only 1.50. Matt and MJ are the best!!!

Stopped by during happy hour on Wednesday afternoon after looking up new bars in the area. As soon as I sat down, I was excited to hear that their happy hour was for lettuce wraps and martinis. $8 MARTINIS? YES, I'M SCREAMING. And no, they're not using well drinks - it's straight up Titos. I had two dirty martinis while waiting around and had a good conversation with Devin. She's an absolute doll (and on an unrelated note, a mushroom connoisseur), and had a smile to brighten up a rather dark interior (the whole place is decorated with black tiles). From what I understand, all their bartenders are seasoned craft bartenders - they'll make you whatever you want. Don't be shy and ask them to whip you up a surprise! I have no idea why it's called Public House - I'm from NYC where that translates to sticky floors and nasty well drinks with flat mixers. This is not your regular public house. It's a charming, hipster neighborhood hangout with more to offer than most in terms of fantastic concoctions and a pretty good menu that ranges from healthy to "perfect for hangovers." I'm also placing this in the "spot for small events" like retirement parties or birthdays category. Thanks for your hospitality. I certainly will be back. read more

We were looking for new restaurants to try in Arlington and found this through Yelp. We made reservations for 8 pm by calling ahead and good thing because the restaurant was packed on a Friday evening. We arrived at 8 pm, but since the table wasn't ready we sat at the bar for a bit to wait. The hostess let us know our first round would be complimentary due to the wait, which was a nice gesture. We ordered our drinks (espresso martini and rabbit-hole fashioned), but unfortunately that message was not communicated to the bartender/server so we ended up paying for them anyway. We eventually sat at our table and ordered a few different apps and entrees. We ordered the tuna ($16), chicken ($12), and shrimp ($14) lettuce wraps, sweet potato fritters ($10), lobster sliders ($26) and lamb burger ($18). We thought the lobster sliders had too much coleslaw and definitely not enough lobster for $26. Food-wise, I would recommend coming for their HH (3-6 pm) when their lettuce wraps are only $8. We thought the food and service were a tad slow (we never received water until halfway through), but the ambiance is nice and the bar was beautiful. The drinks we ordered were delicious and might come back for those. read more

No sass for the brass. This Clarendon brunch spot was just as advertised. They had a cute rabbit theme going on, arguably to a fault, but considering the number of children I'll let it slide. This family friendly restaurant didn't have the most expansive menu, but what it lacked in menu it made up for in TV screens. If you want to watch the match and take your kids out for breaky this is the spot. We tried two of their egg dishes and they were just on par with our expectations. The eggs were well cooked and the side of potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. The service was quick and we got our food and coffee within 15 minutes of us sitting down. I would definitely go back in a pinch. Overall, this place may have been a family hub, but that didn't lower their food quality or service. If you need an easy no frills brunch spot this is a great option. read more

The prices were high and the portions small. Alas, we continue our journey into the post-COVID gloom with Brass Rabbit. Fish in the fish and chips was only 2 egg-roll sized filets. This was considered an entree. It was tasty and crispy but basically an appetizer. The fries were crispy, fresh, and hot w good tartar sauce but I basically paid 20 bucks for a plate of fries. The appetizers also cost around 15-20 each. No telling how small *those* are. The music was super loud and super cheesy. Like a really bad college bar on an early night. Oh wait, this is Clarendon... read more

Food was alright. Nothing I would seek out again but the cocktails were good. Service was great, our waiter was super attentive and friendly. The restaurant is super cute and my friend and I were able to get cute pictures here. read more

The only reason I would hesitate to write this review is to try to keep this place a secret because it's that good! My favorite brunch spot in the DMV by far. When I go to brunch I look for 4 key pillars: food, drinks, price, ambiance/service. Before discovering Brass Rabbit I would have said you couldn't have all 4, but I was graciously proven wrong. The food is always on point. I recommend the shakshouka- heads up it's a big portion! Probably meant to be shared. The drinks are abundantly flowing, and the staff goes above and beyond. Special shout-out to Diana, Blair and Desiree. This place is so lucky to have you! They made me feel so special on my birthday! read more

Brass Rabbit Pub - Restaurant - Pubs Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Warm beer and mediocre food. Some may consider this to be the quintessential pub experience. For us, it was a depressing evening. The high point was the fast and friendly service. The low point was everything else. We had two appetizers: the baratta and their pretzels with cheese dip. The baratta was OK. The pretzels were underbaked and raw in the middle. The dip was soupy and tasteless. Their chicken sandwich was soggy, their Caesar salad was a bowl of lettuce with too much dressing, and the crab lettuce wrap was just not good. Regrettably, my beers were served warm, perhaps in an attempt to recreate the 'authentic' pub experience. To add to our disappointment, my wife's old fashion was predominantly simple syrup, a far cry from the balanced cocktail she was expecting. This could be a nice place to meet with friends to chat. However, if you want anything to eat or drink then consider any of the other nearby restaurants. read more

Came here on a Saturday night to catch up with a friend. Walked by a decent amount but first time trying it out and was not disappointed. It was a very fun vibe inside with TVs mounted to most walls which makes it a good venue to catch a game. The food itself was alright. They gave us a free garlic bread bite to start which was delicious and a good way to start off the meal. We started with the sweet potato fritters that were... good but $11 for 4 was pricier than we would've liked. The entrees (burger, linguine and clams, and steak salad) were all just alright. Nothing bad but also nothing to write home about. The steak in the salad though wasn't really a steak. It wasn't bad, chunks of beef that went with the salad but just don't expect a traditional steak sliced, and placed on top. Overall will probably be back for happy hour and/or game night. Not sure if I'd eat dinner here again, maybe only if too lazy to go somewhere else. read more

A few updates to this review: 1. Apps and martinis at happy hour are now $10, and also I'm not sure the last time they changed the menu on martinis, so you have 5 options there. 2. The service feels all over the place. I ordered the martini and got that, but then my original bartender never came back over to see if I wanted a 2nd drink. By the time I had finished my food another person finally checked on me, but I was good at that point. 3. The quality of the crab lettuce wrap has gone down a bit since I first had it after they replaced the lobster one. They now give you the crab out of the wrap and you fill your own wrap, and on top of that the crab just doesn't taste all that appealing. Still has its charm, and the food is good overall. read more

We came in just for a Saturday afternoon cocktail -- the bar was packed at 4:30! We got lucky and got two seats at the end of the bar after two women left. Very comfortable bar stools -- with both a rail for your feet on the stool, and a nice brass bar foot rail. (It's a pet peeve of mine when a bar does not consider foot comfort.) Bartender crafted a fantastic Old-Fashioned for me. Lots of big screen for watching sports (love the frames around the screens -- a thoughtful touch). Humping rabbits on the ceiling are fun too! read more

Nasty, cold food with bad service. Our table and booth were both dirty and our server didn't care! The entire place, food, cups, drinks and silverware seemed dirty and not made well. Not to even mention the horrendously unkept bathrooms. How can you eat and enjoy yourself in such an environment? Won't be back. read more

I've been to Brass Rabbit twice - once with my friends, and once with my parents, and both times were lovely! In my opinion, the brunch should be more popular! Travis was my server both times, and he was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our meals. The food is great, especially the brunch-specific items, and the $5 bottles are just unbeatable in this city! This is a brunch you shouldn't miss! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and was surprised to see it so busy on a Friday night- always like to see local places succeed. We sat down and enjoyed the mini toast bread things. We ordered drinks, including the espresso martini, the dirty martini, and the paloma. We loved that their martinis were served with extra on the side so you could refill the glass. The service was a little bit all over the place- one main waitress, one lady running drinks, and another lady helping the table. At times it made it confusing on who to order what from and we did lose a diet coke in translation. We did order some mains like the fish and chips, club sandwich, burger, and a salad. Portion size was large for the $ so that was definitely nice. The club was made with hand shaved turkey which was a nice touch, and we loved the burger. We would pass on the fish and chips- while it was two large chunks, the taste just was meh. I look forward to coming back and trying more items here! read more

Wow! Such a great place for dinner and drinks. They had me at the complimentary gralic bread bites though! Soooo good. Had a couple glasses of pinot noir with one of my friends, shared some apps and both got delicious entrées. - Lamb meatballs : 10/10 the sauce was sooooo good too, we dipped our bread in there too - Whipped feta: 10/10 delish and light, one of my favourites came with bread & cucumbers - Ceasar salad: 10/10 HUGE portion - Roasted chicken: 10/10 yummy sauce, love the rainbow carrots paired with and cooked perfectly - steak and potatoes:10/10 guys, so good. It wasn't overcooked and the potatoes were SOOOOOOOO tasty - seared tuna: 10/10 great portion and really liked the avocado sauce it was on Overall such a cute place and I'd definitely come back again. - Insta @SpicyAivy read more

Brass Rabbit is a welcome gem to the clarendon neighborhood. Replacing what once was a sports bar (Bracket Room), this place is a whimsical rabbit themed pub that seems to focus on delicious and healthier takes on their food and cocktails. Came here for happy hour which features $8 martinis and a variety of lettuce wraps, and stayed for dinner with some friends. During happy hour, I ordered an espresso martini and it was out of this world. They give you the martini in a glass and a bonus of the rest of the drink in a side cup, how awesome is that?! I got the lobster wraps which were amazing. They were lightly sauce, fresh, wrapped in crisp lettuce, perfectly balanced. During dinner we moved to the regular all day menu which was a hare (ba dum chuh) on the pricey side, but had a good set of options. Everything I had was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Specifically, the table split carrot fries, Buffalo Cauliflower, and the club sandwich. Bottom line, the food was really good. The carrot fries were the best I ever had, the Cauliflower bites had a perfect texture and the club was good as well. For my drink I ordered a cocktail- the Conejo, which was outstanding. It was a carrot juice based drink and absolutely delish. Brass Rabbit is a great spot for a date or nice dinner/happy hour with friends. I'm so excited this place has come to clarendon and will be back another time to try some of their other dishes and cocktails! read more

This places lacks sanitation !! While I was there a worker kept sticking his fingers/hand into the base of the popcorn maker to grab himself popcorn to eat. Literally would grab a scoop of popcorn with his bare hands. He would do this every time he walked past it. He didn't wash his hands prior to doing it and he would wipe his hand on his pants and or dirty towel on his hip. The rest of the staff never said anything but would serve the popcorn. Idk why anyone thinks this is okay but it should not be allowed. The food was subpar but the ambiance is great read more

The Brass Rabbit is awesome!! Beautifully renovated on the inside, fun upbeat atmosphere, and great staff. All the employees we interacted with, from the hostess, to our waitress, to the manager - really nice people!! It makes the experience more fun when you can chat with people! We just stopped by for a light snack and some drinks! First they brought out some pretzel bites for us to snack on. Then we ordered the lobster lettuce wraps which were fabulous. Very tasty and surprisingly they stayed intact pretty well!! I thought it might fall apart, but it didn't. Try the lettuce wraps, they're good!!! To drink I got the cucumber martini and it was tasty! I thoroughly enjoyed it!! I will be back and recommending this new spot to my friends!! read more

***Edited for grammar*** Stopped in for lunch, after getting a notification regarding this spot. Walked in and, who I assume is the host, was too busy talking on the phone (right in front of me and making eye contact) to acknowledge my presence or non-verbally greet me. Actually, he's in jeans and a t-shirt, so I'm not not even sure he's a host but he was standing at the hosts booth. Finally, a friendly woman greeted and sat me. The decor has a luxe vibe to it, very nice - I think this place would be great at night. Crimson 'N Clover - hmmm...its interesting - it's too sweet AND too sour. It's a weird mix of the two. I don't even know how that's possible but they managed to do it. Even though there seems to be a balance of both, it's completely imbalanced, at the same time. I know...I know... and no, I am completely sober as I type this. Rabbit Hole-Fashioned - Omg, No. NO. NO. It tastes like what I would imagine gasoline to taste like. I could tell from the smell that my throat amd tastebuds were in for burning. One of the Worst 'old fashioneds' I've ever had. Perhaps an ingredient was forgotten. Lobster lettuce wraps - OMG...DELICIOUS. Juicy and flavorful. Wasn't happy about the hair I found in the sauce on the wrapper but, by that point, I'd already ate half and didn't want to make a fuss about it, it was small. My Server, Jen, was fantastic. First try was hit and miss but I encourage you to give them a try and formulate your own opinion. read more

The Brass Rabbit opening in March 2022 and is just off Clarendon Boulevard on Garfield St (Just around the corner from Circa). Parking is a huge challenge in this area and you may want to just suck it up and pay to park in one of the many underground garages. We arrived on a college football Saturday 7ish, and the host was very helpful in finding us a table. One thing that strikes you is the volume of the place; loud, loud and louder! Decor is all black, but we did not find that off-putting. A local hipster crowd in the bar area, but a little older than one might expect. Our server (Keith) was very friendly, helpful and seemed to be happy to be there. The Brass Rabbit has a serious commitment to preparing craft cocktails. The martinis, or in our case a Cosmopolitan, are served just a little over half full but are accompanied with a small carafe of the drink in a small bowl in a bed of ice (see picture). Having never seen this before we were struck that this is a nice touch. The drink menu includes a Bramble, which is highly unusual and one of my favorites. It was a nice drink served with fresh raspberries and blackberries. I think they should consider serving the drink with creme de mure (French blackberry liqueur), which is the more traditional recipe. But that is my personal preference. Cocktails arrived with complementary serving of pretzel bites, which have a hint of garlic and maybe fried with truffle oil (my guess). Another nice touch by The Brass Rabbit! We started with the Buffalo Cauliflower which comes lightly battered and fried with a blue cheese aioli; this is a huge offering and wonderful. Whipped Feta was also a great starter, served with cucumber slices and crostini. It did not have a lot of body (read it was kinda liquidy) but still a solid choice. I ate two-thirds of the cauliflower appetizer and was stuffed. We also tried the salmon filet and that was perfectly prepared. We will return to the Brass Rabbit but probably not during football frivolity; tooooo deafening. I encourage you to give The Brass Rabbit a try! read more

We came in for happy hour and the service was unfortunately disappointing. It took a while to get our drinks, and no one ever came back to see if we wanted to order another round.
