During my most recent visit to Fairfax, I was looking for a nice place to relax and after Googling…read morearound, I settled on this. Talk about a diamond in the rough. 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. I observed a small family playing Uno at their table, and their activity summed up what this place is about. A family friendly safe place to relax.

The ceremony and cocktail hour were held on the first floor and the reception was upstairs (and yes, there are elevators). The only caveat is that there are only bathrooms on the first floor, so we all made multiple up-and-down trips throughout the night. There is also an outdoor terrace on the second floor (unfortunately, the view is... the parking lot) but it was a nice area to chat with other wedding guests on a breezy, late May evening. The dance floor area was a bit small for the amount of guests, but it ended up working out. The dinner was buffet style, and the food was quite good! The strawberry salad was tasty, but maybe a bit too much dressing. The mashed potatoes were very garlicky with the perfect texture (not too smooth, but not too chunky). The steamed vegetables (broccoli and carrots) were seasoned enough to be enjoyable on its own and with the protein. There were three protein options: chicken, salmon, and steak. The chicken had a creamy sauce with a red pepper topping that I didn't love. The salmon was seasoned generously, but it was a bit overcooked. The steak was seared quite nicely, cooked medium, and it was my favorite of all three proteins. Overall, the food was good for a wedding venue. This was a great venue to have a wedding! We all had a great time at Sweeney Barn to celebrate our friends getting married.

(But also optional if you don't like cows) They don't yet have water running to the barn, but included in the price were some luxury toilets.

Highly recommend, it was really nice to have a venue that was so beautiful that we didn't have to decorate it very much!

We did our ceremony in the large grassy area in front of a big tree, cocktail hour on the back terrace, and dinner upstairs in the main room. With ten guest tables and our sweetheart table in the corner we had plenty of space for the DJ and a good size dance floor. We had a buffet and bar downstairs (this could be an issue for older guests to get down the stairs). Because it's a county park it is significantly more affordable than any other venue we considered. They recently did some renovations and the bathrooms are now very nice-bright, clean, spacious (unfortunately there are only 2 bathrooms, but I don't think this was an issue for the number of guests we had). We had a fantastic wedding here and have lots of beautiful pictures from the day. I highly recommend!
