    Finished paintings
    Michaele S.

    I came here with my mom to do the paint night (day) that is held by Yaymaker. Bought the tickets through Groupon and then confirmed them online. The paint session is held in the front area which is not a huge space but it was set up nicely. The room displays paintings from other artist and gives off a nice rustic vibe. I only had a glass of wine from the bar but there is a whole drink and food menu to choose from which is reasonably priced. Our waitress and paint instructor were wonderful and I would come again.

    Cute full-service distillery off the main drag in Falls Church. They distill their spirits jn-house and serve cocktails, wine and craft beer. The lemon-gin based one I got was very tasty. Although they don't serve food they have a deal where you can order from the burger place and pizza places next doors go will bring orders over and you can eat at the distillery. They had live music they day we went, which was also very nice.

    It's a local distillery with a friendly bar that's walking distance from my house so what's not to like? They serve different food at various times and events like trivia, karaoke, etc. so check the schedule. The bar area isn't huge but they manage to pack everything into a small space. They have happy hour during the week and despite the name they do serve wine and beer as well. They're a welcome addition to the area and I'll be back here for sure.

    We visited Falls Church Distillers last Saturday afternoon for a spirits tasting. I stumbled across them as a result of finding them on Yelp! We came in early on a hot afternoon - and sat at the bar. I ordered a tasting flight of two vodkas and two gins. I met Michael, the owner/proprietor. Really nice, personable guy! I enjoyed three of the four spirits I tasted. The second Gin was a little much for me. Very heavy on the licorice/anise flavor - gave me instant heartburn! The vodkas were very good! Falls Church Distillers is more than a distillery. You can order cocktails, wine, beer, and it is also a full service restaurant. They have a full menu of food. Will have to try out some menu food items during our next visit! It was a tad warm inside the day we visited. I don't know if they were having a problem with their HVAC...? Worth a visit or more! #FallsChurchDistillers

    Spirits are great,skip the food. Because it is bad, based on a panini and salad experience, but I think that is something you can't go wrong with, even being hungry since 6 hours, I was unable to call it okay. Brussetta was okay. Grab the burger at elevation or pizzeria orso adjacent to before or after it and just enjoy their amazing vodka, gin, whisky, Apple brandy to name a few. The cocktails are also excellent. Hot tini a summer drink is highly recommended if you like the zing. They have various events like open mic, paint night etc. Definitely a great place to hang out and have a few good conversations. Hopefully they get better with their food.

    My visit to Falls Church Distillers was fine. Nothing mind-blowing, but pretty good. I visited with my wife on a Sunday afternoon looking for a local craft distillery. The service was ok and the drinks were tasty. There was a group of people there painting pictures, so we felt a little out of place, but it turned out alright. I tried a flight of the "darks" - whiskey and rum. I thought the price was a little high, but the portions turned out to be ok. The bartender took some time to explain each one. All in all, each was pretty good. If you're in the area, I'd definitely give it a try.

    Nice place and they have live music on weekend. They offer wine and cocktails made with the liquor they make on site. There don't serve food but there is a pizza place and a burger place that deliver to the distillery at no cost.

    Let me start by saying DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! PLEASE SEE MY IMAGES You will understand my rage and disgust at this place. My boyfriend was running the Marine Corps Marathon Sunday and I had just flown in from being out of the country for a week. Both exhausted & at the hotel we get in yelp to find dinner. The reviews for Falls Church Distillers weren't bad. The menu looked decent. So we ordered. Let me just point out again this was the meal my boyfriend was going to eat before running 26 miles. THIS is what we got. When I opened what was supposed to be my charcuterie board, the first box to be opened, I honestly thought it was a joke. I told my boyfriend, "this can't be right, where is the rest of it and are those dollhouse crackers thrown on top?!" We opened the rest of the boxes of food and quickly saw this was not a joke THIS was what the put in the boxes, accepted hard earned money from us for, & delivered to us. On what planet is this even an attempt at ITALIAN?! We had every intention to go in after the marathon and demand a refund. I in all my anger wanted to find out what idiot reviewed the order and gave the ok to deliver this as well as the pathetic excuse for a cook that has the audacity to send this out of the kitchen! Fortunately for them after the marathon we were exhausted and decided let them have the money we wasted on the garbage they gave us. They'll need it when they are out of business soon because there is NO way a place like this will stay afloat much longer. So here it is folks RUN! STAY AWAY! SAVE YOUR MONEY! This is garbage.

    Was underwhelmed by my experience here. As a whiskey lover, I was excited to get a walk through of their offerings. I've gotta say, the whiskey is downright an abomination. It's way too young and doesn't have much flavor at all. Very one dimensional and lacked any real taste. It was a little like drinking a severely watered down cocktail. Not my cup of tea-but, to each their own. I really wanted to like this place, but I couldn't see myself returning again. Not a knock against the joint, clearly people dig it, I just don't like drinking bad liquor.

    I love coming here because of the unique products (have you heard of pepper flavored vodka?) and stellar service. I've been here twice for tastings and bought a bottle of bourbon for my fiancee each time. The distillery is a one-stop shop with its wide selection of 5 liquors: pepper flavored vodka, lemon flavored gin, bourbon, regular gin, regular vodka. Can't wait for the wheat and corn Jameson style whiskey, rum, and apple brandy to come out later this year! I'm impressed how Mike is able to use the same tank to distill the different types of liquor. He gave us a tour back in Dec and showed us how the whole process works! When I came back the 2nd time in Feb, the distillery got its full liquor license and became a full-service bar with extensive food menu (no fence dividing the bar from the ABC store). Now full size cocktail replace the mini flights (hope the spiked hot chocolate with vodka returns to the menu!) The distillery was previously limited to only serving 3 ounces/day per customer. Now there's no limit! Although there are only a 1/2 dozen cocktails to choose from on the new menu, the VA mule is my favorite - the bourbon and ginger beer are great! I like how the Jimmy Thyme cocktail is sweet from the brown sugar and lemonade, but balanced out with bourbon. Nick, the bartender, also hooked me up with a custom cocktail outside the menu, Pomegranate Mint cocktail, which I thoroughly enjoyed. He also gave us a complimentary shooter of eggnog with aged vodka topped with kahlua. It was heavenly and would request it as a cocktail next time. Thanks for the hook up Nick! Every time I come here, I'm greeted by a warm smile from Mike, who loves sharing his knowledge and passion of distilleries with my fiancee and I. We appreciated all of his recommendations to other distilleries and visited KO, MurLarkey, VA Distillery, and Silverback. I had fun at all of them and they each have a unique vibe and cocktail flights. I would also add Catoctin and Copper Fox to the list. I would come back for some live music. Great local spot with artisanal cocktails and friendly service.

    Fun, hip place that delivers a distillery/restaurant/bar/art combo. It sounds like a lot, but they make it work. I went for the bourbon, and was happy with my samples. Per VA ABC law, they can only serve a total of 3 ounces of booze. Those 3 ounces can be divvied up as 1 ounce pours, 0.5 ounce pours, or a pour within a cocktail. But after that - no more! VA is very specific in how much you are allowed to drink. After my samples I had a quick lunch while watching TV and admiring the artwork for sale. Loved my chicken hoagie (technically it was a panino al pollo) and chili! What I tried: Great Falls Gin: I typically don't like gin because its both tasteless & too botanical to me. Theirs surprised me with a black liquorish finish. Apparently they use 50% anise, which was unusual to me (but I liked it). Virginia Mule bourbon w/ginger: Soda-like combo that was pretty good, although it was too cold outside for me to enjoy it properly. Hot Chocolate with bourbon I think? LOVED this. I wanted more, but was at my 3 ounce limit.

    If you want to know what Virginia ABC laws are, you need only to wonder in to this place. I love small craft beer joints and distillers alike. FCD has some solid food on their short menu. I just had a couple small antipastas, but heard good things on the other foods. Upon entering, you will receive some of the rules put on distilleries by ABC. Thinking of what the owner must have gone through to abide by all of this really makes me feel for them. The distillery is segmented into several areas by cages with clear, yet ridiculous, ABC rules on where, when, and how much you can imbibe. It's a family joint where everyone seems to do a bit of everything. Seems discombobulated at times, but it is all in service of their guests. All over, cool place that serves as a living museum of what puritan liquor laws put on business owners.

    Can you bring outside snacks/food?

    Unfortunately, the health department does not allow outside foods in an establishment that operates a commercial kitchen. Food must go from one commercial kitchen to another. This is how birthday cakes are allowed.

This is a beach theme bar, with a ton of things going on. They had vendors, and one was selling Venus fly traps of all things. There's plenty of beer to be consumed. They have a nice taproom with seating, and plenty of seats and tables out on the "beach." This is a great place for a young adult date, not to mention a family spot. Dogs are welcome, and I saw a decent amount of kids running around. They didn't broadcast live sports during my visit. I did see people eating, but couldn't really tell where the food was coming from. I didn't want to venture around because I don't see well, and the grounds are composed of pea rocks. I did see rooftop seating, but I'm not sure what's up there. This place is next to a Sheetz gas station, and if worse comes to worse, you can literally walk there and buy food and no one would know your'e gone because it's so close. The parking here is bad. Real bad. There is an adjacent small strip small with parking, and a catering hall with a huge parking lot. I opted for the catering hall, but walking to this venue was tricky, because there isn't a sidewalk. This place has casual charm.

No, this was a full-blown culinary Six Flags experience that left me both speechless and deeply emotional. First Stop: Southwest Egg Rolls These bad boys arrived at my table looking like they just got back from a food modeling gig--crispy, golden, and filled with a spicy, cheesy, Tex-Mex magic that made my taste buds sing mariachi music. One bite in, and I could practically hear the tortilla whisper, "Welcome to Flavor Town, amigo." The creamy dipping sauce? Absolute sorcery. If I could legally marry a condiment, this one would be a strong contender. The Main Event: Manny's Meatloaf Manny--whoever you are--I just want to say thank you. Thank you for crafting a meatloaf that has single-handedly redefined my understanding of comfort food. This wasn't your grandma's meatloaf, folks. This was a rich, juicy, perfectly seasoned masterpiece, glazed in what I can only assume is liquid happiness. Each forkful melted in my mouth like butter in the sun, making me question every other meatloaf I've encountered in my life. Do I now have beef with every other meatloaf? Yes. Yes, I do. The Beverage That Tied It All Together: The Freshest Beer Ever Now, I don't know if they have a magical beer wizard in the back, but this was the freshest, crispest, most life-affirming beer I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. Each sip was like being softly kissed by an angel who also happens to be a craft brewer. Ice-cold, smooth, and so refreshing I briefly considered writing a love letter to the brewery. Final Verdict If you are hungry, thirsty, or just looking for an existentially transformative dining experience, get yourself to this restaurant immediately. The food is sensational, the drinks are divine, and I am now a better person for having eaten here. 10/10, would trade my left shoe for another bite of that meatloaf.

    Omg ok let me organize my thoughts because this brunch experience blew my mind!!!…read more I live fairly close to two silos, and I always really enjoy my time there. I have been there several times before they started expanding and I remember seeing the signs go up and the excitement of what would come next. Fast forward several months maybe even a year and my friend suggested we go to brunch at this new spot called proof kitchen. It didn't occur to me until yelping that this was one of the new additions to the two silos (villagio group) kingdom! The second I found out that I would get the chance to finally try out this spot. Any other options that were on the table were immediately thrown out and we decided to go here. The menu looked really impressive and let me tell you the menu itself was not nearly as impressive as what was presented to us when we ordered, and our food arrived. It was really hard to pick an option... I was really impressed because quite a few of the options I've never even heard of before or thought of. For example, the crab Rangoon dip was so great. Just the right amount of sweetness and a bunch of lump crab meat. I love how they want above and beyond, even just with the wonton chips. The server was incredible and he brought over more chips for us without us even asking, and I don't recall any additional surcharge. We were here to celebrate my girlfriend's upcoming wedding and got to open her save the dates! The brunch was perfect. The grill time was lovely and the food was spectacular. The beverages were really delicious too! My friend ordered a flatbread that came with eggs. My other friend ordered the pancake with the berries that I almost ordered. When her pancake came out, we were all absolutely floored at the presentation! Firstly, the pancake was extremely thin, full of flavor and covered in delicious fresh berries. It took up the whole plate!! fortunately, I didn't also order that because I ended up being able to eat several bites of it to help my friend finish her meal. Portion sizes are very generous!! which we love in this economy... we also ordered the fry trio, which was so elevated in the most simple and flavorful way you absolutely must order this. I ended up just ordering the side of mac & cheese that was really gooey and flavorful which to me are the two main components of a good mac & cheese. Overall, we all agreed that we must come back. The food was lovely service was truly top-notch and the restaurant itself was beautiful New and modern.
