I really liked the look and feel of Audacious Aleworks. It's a bright and vibrant space with a lot…read moreof seating and light coming through the front wall of windows. 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.

We stopped by Starr Hill Brewpub in McLean on a very busy day, so I understand the staff was…read moredealing with a full house. That said, the service was just okay. Our order was missed multiple times, and we had to follow up more than once before everything finally made it to the table. As for the food, the burger was okay nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. The fries were actually the better part of the meal, cooked well and enjoyable. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it also didn't stand out. Hopefully, the service issues were just a result of how busy they were, because with a little more attention to customers, it could be a much better experience.

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!

It's not a huge place but we were able to get seats outside on a warm sunny weekday afternoon then were able to move inside and grab seats as a table where the World Cup was on the TV inside. They have a good variety of beers on tap and of course it's all stuff they make. They have everything from lighter stuff to dark porters and everything in between even...ick IPAs. They don't serve food here but they have the La Tingeria Tex Mex food truck out front and that's a must try in its own right and goes perfectly with the beer. I enjoyed my trip here and I'll be back again sometime for some beer and a side of Tex Mex food.

Highly recommend as my husband loved his prime rib (he said it was excellent) and I had a gluten free chicken sandwich that was yum! the ambiance was lovely, and an all around great experience for a quick bite as the location is very close to INOVA. Enrique made our night and truly appreciate his gracious service

First let me say Everytime we come into town I want to eat here for the Ozzie rolls (I love them,…read morethe best). I got salmon, which was good just make sure you like a smoky taste as it has one. My husband got ribs and he said they were good too. The waitress was on point and kept checking on us refilling our drinks. It wasn't over crowded for 4th of July and I do think it is decorated beautifully. Now, couple things that are weird. I asked for to go cup for my full glass of lemonade so it wasn't wasted and we were informed they have no to go cups. However, they do to go orders, but no drinks... that's weird. 2nd, they advertise that you can get 4 of their house made beers to take home, here is the catch you can't mix match them to get different ones. We wanted to get 4 different ones to bring back to NC for a friend and could only get 4 of the same kind. Which we did, but no where does it say you can't mix match them. We were told their POS systems isn't set up to be able to do this. I do love their food, but come on get to go cups.

Inside is three levels and outside has two different areas. BEVS & FOOD Great selection of craft beer and food bites. Easy ordering and friendly service. AMBIANCE Both times they had live music which was awesome. My grips are the parking which is practically non-existent and you are most likely gonna be forced to park across a four lane road which is fun to traverse! Also the private party was in June and it was incredibly hot with no AC circulating and all the guests were melting. For the price my friend paid to rent the space I'd be pissed & would not recommend it. Other than that it is a neat little place if you go when the weathers nice, lol. As always peeps, please support your local small biz! Cheers!

The biergarten has ample canopy seating with long benches and tabletops, perfect for groups! You can't make reservations. They have a strict policy of no outside food or drinks. The ambiance is very casual and there's no table service. Rather than ordering through a QR code, place your order at the bar and then you'll get a text alert when the food is ready for pick-up at the long table closest to the bar. The line is always pretty short and you can get a drink within 5-10 min, the food takes longer and even up to 1/2 hour for fries. I would stick to the beer on draft, the cocktails can be hit/miss depending on the bartender, the draft drinks tend to have better consistency. The Wildberry Mule cocktail and Pina Colada Sangria and Peach Seltzer on draft were my picks while the Bourbon Smash, Passionfruit Mojito, Pina Colada Mojito, and the Passionfruit Seltzer were misses. On the flip side, the bartenders poured a generous amount of Prosecco for Mimosas, much appreciated! The bottled Angry Orchard apple cider is generally my go-to. There's always a mocktail on the menu (came in handy when I was pregnant!) The new battered fries are so much better than last year! The menu is limited with simple bar food (bbq pulled pork sandwich, burger, grilled cheese, hot dog, fries, kettle chips). Wish there were more vegetarian options like charcuterie board, hummus and crackers, nachos, mac and cheese, etc. While I give credit for having a Veggie Burger on the menu, it's sad and disappointing. It has a very smoky meaty flavor (from the grill, not the patty) with lackluster toppings - the vegan cheese is disgusting. I would swap out the kettle chips and pay the upcharge for fries. The doughy pretzel sticks are quite salty and a step up from the movie theater. They are good for absorbing the alcohol! Despite these minor complaints, I love coming here with family and fries. So glad The Perch opened up, Starr Hill Biergarten is a great spot to kick back and relax with a beer or 2!
