    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!

    Great menu with a variety of European options. Comfortable atmosphere with many beers on tap…read more Service is very good!

    Bia Kitchen is a quaint Irish restaurant/pub that has lots of buzz on social media and comes highly…read morerecommended. According to one of the lovely staff,"Bia" means food in Irish, in case you were curious. They have a full bar with lots of quality spirits to choose from. The beer selection is all draught, no bottled beer. We decided to share some appetizers with our drinks. We ordered PEI mussels, champagne peppercorn patè and fried calamari. All the appetizers were excellent. The patè was presented nicely with accoutrements of fig jam, cornichon, macerated tomatoes and bread. The mussels were offered in a Thai curry sauce but we asked for another serving option due to an allergy concerns. They offered us a white wine and garlic option and we gladly took it. The mussels were cooked very well, the flavor was clean and mild but could have used stronger seasoning, The fried calamari was executed perfectly. It was crispy, tender, flavorful with zero greasiness. The garlic tomato aioli accompanied the dish well. We shared the beef medallions as our entree and a side of fries because I spotted a server carrying fish and chips and the steak fries style potatoes were speaking to me. The steak was tender and flavorful and the Demi glaze brought the dish together. The fries were crispy and salty and wonderful, I'm glad I was inspired. We saved room for dessert and chose churros and Dubai chocolate. Both were a great finish to our dining experience.

We were shown to the patio which was an indoor, covered patio. I opted for a Mimosa and opted for the buffet. My friend ordered a couple cocktails - I don't recall which ones - but both were delicious. My husband ordered the Limoncello Spritz which was also very good. My friend ordered the Herb Roasted Beets Salad with the Bavette Steak. My friend really enjoyed it. For the buffet, I tried the New York Strip, the Fried Chicken, Gulf Shrimp & Grits, Belgian Waffles and the Local Sausage. I really enjoyed everything I tried. The Belgian Waffle was very good and the Fried Chicken had a really crispy skin and was tender. The Flavor of the Shrimp & Grits and the New York Strip were also very good. Service was great and I would definitely come back to check out their dinner and the rest of their menu.

Accordingly, I recommended it to my parents for a special meal, and round two was not as good. We were sat upstairs, which detracted from the ambience substantially, but worse was our server. From the moment she greeted us, we could tell she did not want to be there. She brought red wine in white wine glasses and a bread basket with only three pieces to a table of four people. I pointed this out and requested more bread, so that each of us could have a piece, but she never returned with more as she agreed to do. (Eventually a different server brought us more bread upon second request.) After food was served, I don't recall seeing her to check in until we'd finished eating. Absolutely unacceptable when you're waiting on a table that's putting down more than $250 before tip. Food wise, pretty happy. Fried green tomato was good; pincaha was salty but well cooked (chimichurri overpowering); duck was nice; and pastas were rich. I'd be back but specify that I want a table on the main floor, not upstairs between the bathroom and kitchen. I'd also be on the lookout for the redheaded waitress with the chip on her shoulder.

My wife got the patty melt and I got the double smash. Her burger was cooked rare, which I absolutely love my burgers still mooing. So we switched.

We walked in and there only 4 or 5 people in there. 2 of the people were obvious friends of the bartender and they sat chatting, loudly, while we waited to be acknowledged. We finally got served and ordered the appetizer sampler. The fries seemed old and the old bay seasoning was almost non-existent. The mozzarella sticks were fine. The shrimp was good and the chicken was delicious. A couple of us ordered bottled beer which wasn't very cold. The bathrooms were unisex and not super clean. All in all, I wasn't super impressed and I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
