    We came here with a couple of friends and got an hour of axe throwing. Bar area is pretty nice with a full selection and a decent tap list. We all enjoyed the camaraderie of the whole place because you have something to do while eating and drinking. Think Top Golf but with axes. I think this is a nice spot for a work event or a small group of friends. With all of that being said after throwing axes for an hour I'm not sure I need to do it again real soon. I'd come here for a drink at the bar though. Enjoy!

    So much fun axe throwing! It's a one-of-a-kind experience and totally worth it. Elysium provides the fun so just bring your group for something totally new. They have super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and good food and drinks. I was skeptical at first, but everyone was safe and we laughed and smiled as we enjoyed the drinks and got to see who could 'land' the axe on the board. Pro tip: Make reservations cuz it gets busy.

    Had a Airbnb in the area and decided to do this for one of our new years activities. Really solid place. Nice ambiance, service was pretty good and they broke down the rules etc well. 30min went by well but the cost wasn't bad enough to add an additional hour. One thing I really liked that it was a digital background which added multiple games to basic axe throwing. Can't give it a full 5 stars only because we didn't get any food but definitely a must try. FYI the entry is in the back of the building lol it

    I'm fairly new to axe throwing, having only visited two other axe throwing venues...but THIS one was the BEST! The sheer number and variety of axe throwing games available is awesome! Both Kristin and Lori, our hosts on the day we visited, were equally awesome and welcoming and helpful. Incredible selection of beer on hand, and while we didn't have any food, it DID look incredible. I cannot more HIGHLY recommend a better place to try axe throwing in Northern Virginia...just do it!

    My husband and I had come from drinking wine (to celebrate our wedding anniversary) at a nearby vineyard that had quite possibly the worst wine we have ever had. The day was so windy, my husband's food flipped out of his hands onto the ground and we left feeling really irritated about how badly our anniversary was going. We decided to try axe throwing to conclude what was turning out to be a horrible anniversary day and we ended up having a really fun time at Elysium. The staff member that helped us get set up was super friendly and attentive. We were never without great advice on throwing the axe better or without a drink in our hands. The place has great ambiance to begin with, but right now it is decorated for Halloween and they did such a great job! It put us in the Halloween spirit, for sure. My husband and I are wine and whiskey snobs, so we didn't have high expectations for bar drinks. We were pleasantly surprised by the fun libations on the menu and we enjoyed our cocktails a lot more than we expected to. And the bar food was pretty good! Overall I give this place 5 stars and an extra invisible star for helping us turn a really bad day into a great one.

    We wanted to try out a new place for Halloween and went to the Elysium Halloween "Scare Throw"! It was incredibly fun and entertaining. The staff, people, music and ambience were exceptional! They really have ax throwing with electronic scorekeepers. The menu is by scanning the whatchamadeally and items are all appealing and reasonably priced. The drinks 2 per person) were included in the ticket price. Everyone was friendly and approachable. My wife won Best Costume and had numerous requests for selfie and photos. We are definitely coming back! This time I'll try my skill at Ax throwing!

    Well this was an unexpected surprise. I was skeptical at first. We made reservations and rolled up and they told us they were running behind. Normally this does not end up with a 5 star review but they saw I wasn't happy and they made it right. What a gem this place is. The team genuinely cares about making sure you're having a good time, the libations are fantastic and on the night we went they had a DJ. Bonus points for being family friendly and and having the perfect ambiance for a date night! Thanks to the team for a great night.

    Amazing service, tons of fun and great games love the music and staff. Also food is fresh and delicious my recommendation is the pretzel bite they were so good.

    My daughter's and wife took me to Alysium Axe Bar for Father's Day. We had a blast, and we are already planning our next visit. The stuff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Alysium Axe Bar!

    Jordan was great!

The building itself is nice and clean but they only have one table inside and no outdoor seating. We didn't mind though and turned it into a drive in experience eating in the car. The service was friendly and it being a locally owned small business was a huge plus. They take card and cash which was also nice. The hot dogs were fantastic and huge. I assumed I would eat 2 but only made it through 1.5 before getting full. We tried the Daredevil Dog which had the jalapeños and was good. The Sleepy Creek Slaw Dog had a really good chili and the coleslaw wasn't watery or soggy so it added a nice crunch. My favorite of the three we tried. The last was the New York dog which I did with sauerkraut and it was solid, not quite like the dog in manhattan which go heavier on the onion sauce but still very nice. The sweets were also really really good. We got two brownies which got devoured. The Dubai Sunday was very nice and they didn't skimp on the pistachio sauce. The Samoa sundae was also very good. All in all, we both really enjoyed this place and will be back. The food is affordable and tasty and the service is friendly.

Soft serve Ice Cream is rich and delucious New sandwhiches are generous in size/meat portion and fresh. He has many options. Primarily cold, though a few hot options. Sandwhiches BEAT the nearby chains everyday.....SHOP LOCAL!!!! Other notes: Still better for takeout vs dine in as there is just one community table with folding chairs. The owner us working on expandibg the inside. There can be a little wait when several folks are ordering sandwhiches. Check facebook for hours/open closed days as they vary.

You grab a table, scan the barcode for the menu, then place your order on line, and someone brings it to your table. It's very impersonable. The menu includes mostly bar food like wings, nuggets, various hot dogs, and hamburgers. I forgot the name of the hot dog I chose. I wasn't able to fully enjoy it because the roll that I chose kept breaking. The fries were good though. I was happy to finally go. It may be a good spot to watch a game and have some beers but I wouldn't go there to eat again.

A normal person looks at a hamburger and asks, "Would you like cheese on that?" The people at MELT apparently look at one and ask, "How can we make this so extraordinary that customers begin questioning whether everything they previously called a burger was actually just meat occupying bread?" I ordered the Paris Burger: Premium beef char-grilled with roasted garlic, then topped with melted French Brie, balsamic-glazed onions, baby spinach, and a smear of Dijon mustard on a house-made bun. This ingredient list sounds less like a hamburger and more like several upscale appetizers became trapped in an elevator and decided to form a government. I do not know what kind of inspired nut job first assembled this combination, but everything contributes to everything else. The Brie, roasted garlic, sweet richness of the balsamic-glazed onions, spinach, and Dijon do not compete for attention; they cooperate with suspicious precision. The flavor is exquisite. This should not be placed in the same category as ordinary burgers unless the category is titled "Round Foods That Technically Contain Beef." And then there is the bun. Most hamburger buns eventually choose one of two career paths: Damp sponge or roofing material. This one rejected both. It was cooked to that nearly mythical point between soft and soggy, firm and crunchy. It supported the burger without collapsing, disintegrating, or scraping the roof of my mouth like an edible Brillo pad. Perfection. For a side, I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were already very good, which apparently was considered insufficient by the resident mad scientists. Someone had the completely unreasonable idea of serving them with marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow fluff. With sweet potato fries. This sounds like a suggestion made at 2:00 a.m. by someone who should have been politely escorted away from the kitchen. Instead, that person may be a genius. The combination is incredible. The salty sweet potato fries dipped in marshmallow fluff produced one of those moments when your brain objects on principle while your hand quietly reaches for another fry. This proves that not every insane idea is crazy; some merely require dipping sauce. I also had the Thin Mint shake, which was excellent except for the only legitimate complaint I could manufacture during the entire meal: It came with an ordinary straw. Every attempt to drink it became a small plumbing emergency when a piece of Thin Mint lodged in the opening. Sip, blockage, investigate, clear obstruction, repeat. I was not drinking a milkshake so much as performing routine maintenance on a delicious cookie pipeline. A proper milkshake straw would eliminate the one defect in an otherwise outstanding operation. This was not merely a good meal from a burger joint. It was a culinary experience disguised as casual food. The Paris Burger was phenomenal, the fries and marshmallow fluff were an act of benevolent madness, and even my complaint involves the shake containing too many actual pieces of Thin Mint to pass through standard beverage infrastructure. MELT is almost worth traveling to Virginia for by itself. If the people running this place are insane, nobody intervene. Whatever treatment would make them normal might ruin the menu.
