    What a cool pub to visit! There are potent libations, which I rarely consume these days, and a plethora of bar food at this long time establishment in old town Fairfax City. This used to be a volunteer fire station way back when, and inside the bar there are pictures of the historic place. My go to orders are the Heineken Zeros. There are food specials too, like $0.50 wings on Sundays during certain times. If you're in the GMU area, or walking around old town Fairfax Main Street and University Drive, make a stop to check it out!

    Bacon cheeseburger. Very tasty. A go to for lunch.

    I was in Fairfax and got hungry for a burger. Quick search and The Old Fire Station #3 came up. Ok, into the GPS. I find the place and have trouble parking. Everything has a sign on it....nothing I could find for the restaurant. I end up parking in a spot that expires at 4 pm with towing. I grab a seat at the bar and order a Tony's lager. It's 3 pm on a Monday and only a few customers are in the place. I decide on the bacon cheeseburger sans tomato. The beer is tasty and cold. I'm thinking it's a local brewery because it's really fresh. The burger comes pretty quick. I order another lager. Burger is perfectly cooked. I think it's grilled. Fresh toppings. Just what I was looking for. French fries are crispy, hot and good. They need ketchup. Quick time check, I have about 25 minutes before my car is towed. I finish the burger, the last of the fries and wash it down with the end of the beer. They have lots of notifications with events in the bar, food specials, drink specials. Definitely a place to visit with friends or family for a meal or a drink. Too bad the parking is so bad. I guess the city doesn't really care about businesses in favor of towing fees. Maybe I'll uber it next time.

    Such a great neighborhood bar! I have been going here for years. I love the cozy atmosphere, and all of the staff is so friendly and gets to know you. Everything on the menu is great, but my favorite is the gyro sandwich. When you're here, you feel like family. This is a great social venue. Great for coffee and some lunch on a lazy weekend or great for groups when they have karaoke night on Tuesdays and Fridays 9pm-1am. Their sound and light system are so good! Updated the Specials, Events & Happy Hour info: Family friendly. Free parking. Bathrooms are always clean. Live music. Poker night Wednesdays and Thursdays 7-11pm. Mondays have Trivia 7-9pm, half off Seafood and wine bottle special. Happy Hour drink specials Monday-Friday from 4-7pm! One dollar beers and two dollar rail drinks on some nights!! Can't beat that! There's also an upstairs available for private groups or private events. It's so cool with a thunder and cloud-like ceiling with special effects (Harry Potter ceiling) and usually has DJ dance music upstairs on Fridays & Saturdays. I am so glad this place was revived!

    I ordered the gyro and fries over the phone, service was friendly. The food was good, definitely decent for a quick bite. The only downside was the strong smell of cleaning products when I went in to pick up my order. It was a bit overwhelming, but overall the experience was good.

    Allison is pure delight! I think I've found my little hide away bar. Karaoke night is hilarious and definitely a pick me up if you need it.

    4/5, December 2023. This was our first visit to this iteration of this bar. While it was largely similar to the previous version it's quite obvious that they spent a good amount of time and money putting some polish on the place. The service was good and the food was a significant step up from the past concept while still fitting broadly into the same mold of a local "dive" bar. The menu had a bit more of a Mediterranean spin to it hut but they mentioned it will be evolving over time starting soon. Definitely a solid improvement.

    I had an iced americano and a BLT. Both were really good. The iced americano has a robust flavor…read moreand the BLT was packed with bacon and mayo is always a nice touch The music was insane though. Like TikTok mog compilation hard rock hard edm crazy stuff. Not what I expected at a place called de Clieu. Pretty distracting during conversation and while working.

    Absolutely obsessed with De Clue Coffee -- this place is a total gem in Fairfax! From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe just wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

    Grabbed dinner here with my brother recently and will definitely coming by again. It isn't a huge…read morespace but when the weather is nice there are a bunch of outdoor seats as well. It did get really busy as we were there and our food took a bit. I think a few people also ordered online for pickup so the order stuff was getting made was unclear. I ordered a smashburger and it was great. Nothing too crazy but very delicious. My brother got the chopped cheese and enjoyed it. The best part was something that we ordered to share, the Chapli Chopped Cheese Loaded fries. It wasn't on their menu boards yet but I had seen it on their instagram and had to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely come back and get those again. It had a great flavor, the sauce was delicious, and the fries were still relatively crispy despite the amount of sauce and toppings. Overall, a great spot that I would recommend to others and will definitely coming back soon!

    Solid smash burger…read more They make the edges crispy and charred to how I like it. I do like the bun that they use. My only complaint is there is too much sauce. I know they want to drizzle a zig zag for aesthetics (makes it look really good haha), but the sauce ends up taking over the entire flavor. If they could put less sauce by default I would definitely give this place a perfect rating. I'm in between a 4 star and 4.5 star for this place. Maybe I'll come back one day to try it again and up my rating!
