Chicken thighs | Seating | Service…read more Chicken Thighs - The chicken thighs are surprisingly filling. Each order comes as one large deboned piece of meat, which is then cut into bite-sized pieces--easy to eat by hand or with a fork. They're available in a variety of flavors. I ordered them dry and got several sauces on the side to mix things up. Highly recommend. Seating - The restaurant has a surprising amount of seating. There's just as much indoor seating as there is outdoor, and possibly even more inside thanks to the bar and high-top tables. It's a great spot to start your night, end your night, or enjoy happy hour with friends after work. Service - For a bar, I thought the service was really good. Multiple waiters checked in on us, and we never had to wait for water or anything else. The recommendations they gave were great, and they stayed attentive throughout the night--even though it was moderately busy when we went. Pro tip: Be prepared to sit inside if you're hoping for a meaningful conversation--the street noise outside is quite loud. Between the main thoroughfare and the neighboring restaurants in the same alcove, it can get pretty noisy. If you value good conversation, you'll definitely want to opt for indoor seating. Pro tip: There isn't much parking in the area, so give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes when planning your visit.

Of the beer halls and breweries in Falls Church, this one feels the most commercial. Despite that,…read morethey had a limited selection of beers on tap, and nothing on the darker end at all. The bar tender was very helpful and friendly and let us sample some of the options. The pineapple mango sour was ok, but more of a fruit cocktail than a beer. There is a lot of seating and space inside with several different rooms, including an arcade room. We didn't try the food there this time, but might on a visit later.

I headed to the bar area to place an order for a flight. I chose 4 beers and sat at the bar to drink them. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of most of the 4, particularly the sour which had a smokey finish - let me just say, sour and smokey aren't a viable flavor combo. Yuck. That said, service was excellent and the vibe was right - wish the beers were more to my liking though...and cheaper.

It's a great, chill and lowkey vibe if you're not looking for a loud and crowded bar. Their food selection is so good with a wide range of grilled cheeses as well! They have a rotating menu of drinks that they do at the bar and the service is great. The bartenders are personable and kind and always open to giving you a sample before you decide on a drink. Definitely worth a visit! There is a small lot in the front, I've never struggled to get parking before but would be cautious if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night!

We arrived for a lunch reservation at Harvey's in Falls Church and were seated right away by the…read moreowner, Thomas Harvey, who was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the hot dogs with fries. The hot dogs were excellent, with a firm bite and served on nicely toasted buns. The fries arrived hot, with a satisfying mix of crispy and softer pieces. Ketchup and a soda created a perfect, simple lunch. My friend ordered the smash burger with Roquefort cheese and said it was delicious. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the Roquefort added a rich, tangy kick that really set it apart. Our server, Janet, was warm and attentive throughout the meal. She checked in at just the right moments and made us feel well taken care of without hovering. A great lunch and a place I'm very happy to recommend. We'll definitely return.

They also always have NA root beer, and ciders on tap for gluten-free folks or those who just don't like beer. You can get a crowler (can) or growler to-go of any beer on tap at any time. They also have two large coolers of canned beer, ciders, NA beer, NA beverages, and more that you can take with your or enjoy on site. There is a 40% discount for 6+ beers to go. This place has a large and established regular scene. They also have a Mug Club membership which gets you more beer per pour and some other perks. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome outside. There's also several TVs for sports, and a ton of board and card games you can play. Jeff does a stellar job every Tuesday with trivia. There are themed trivia nights (Disney, Harry Potter, Marvel, etc.) sometimes that tend to get PACKED. So if you're planning to go, plan ahead and go early. The kitchen staff rock and are efficient at getting food out quickly. Everything is cooked in an oven. The pretzel and beer cheese is very popular and yummy. The food overall is average, but Darren does a good job of rotating specials throughout the year. Some of my personal favorite items (note some are specials) : Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, BBQ chicken nachos, German brat, CBR flatbread + drunken onions and peppers, the Apple pie quesadilla and the Elvis dilla. If you're looking for an amazing sit down dinner, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for a great beer selection, awesome people, and a bite to eat this is definitely for you! The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable on beer. A few of them have the level 1 Cicerone certification. Admittedly, I bartended here for a year and just recently left due to moving. I frequented this place before I started working and I will return from time to time now as a customer. This is my honest feedback.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Last Saturday, we had a quieter day because it's…read morebetween hockey seasons, so we take the kids and head to the CP. we walked in and looked around for a while, nobody greeted us, there is no sign to seat yourself or to wait. We stand there for almost ten minutes, still no greeting and my son notices a sign that says "order here". Fine. Skipping a lot of frustrating banter with the woman at the register, who I hope has an excuse like it was her first day... The beer list was good, the pours were nice, temp was a little colder than room temperature, which I'm fine with but some people don't love it. The food was just ok, with the tots being the clear winner. I would go back for the beer (they have "to-go" in addition to draft) and it seemed like the bartender was friendly if you were sitting at the bar. But I wouldn't bring the kids or sit for a meal again.

They have so many enjoyable beers it's hard to choose so I usually try a flight to try several of them. Be sure and try their Scoville Sting or any other variants of their jalapeño beer for a spicy taste you don't get most places. This place can get crowded but they do have a a good number of tables so I've always been able to get a seat and there are also seats at the bar. Service is always really friendly too. This isn't really a sports bar type place so they have a TV with a game on but it might not be your favored team. As if all that wasn't enough, you can get awesome El Tio Tex-Mex food at a stand in the back. Their chips and guacamole or queso or some nachos or tacos go perfectly with some beer. This is the best brewery in the area and I'll come back again.

The environment was an open industrial space with a low-key vibe (at least at this time). A handful of regulars were posted up at the bar. They had sports on the TVs in front and on the big screen in the back. There's a stack of board games in the corner. For the couple times I've been here, the bartender has always been very informative, walking me through the beers on tap without my asking. The beer list is solid, and I had to try the Raspberry Beret imperial stout - the flavor was unique and the raspberry very notable. If you're feeling brave, ask about the Sweet Scoville Sting. Seriously spicy, so make sure you taste it before committing. Beyond beer, there's wine, ready-to-drink margaritas and cocktails, and a robust food menu so something for everyone.

The spot may not garner a 5-star recommendation every time, but this evening -- for Happy Hour -- BAM, it hit on all the right notes. HAPPY HOUR HITS: Draft beers ($3 pints starting at 3pm) & small bites menu ($2 off). The Cobb Lettuce Wrap (blue cheese yummy!) are a must have (4 per order) and the nachos (BBQ chicken) were a surprisingly solid table pleaser.
