Our server, Esther, was sweet, attentive, and accommodating from the start to the finish of our meal. She explained the menu options and kept checking back for the decisions we found pretty hard to make. They have a pretty good variety of selections on the menu. Mom got the wing appetizer, with the honey garlic sauce. The sauce is delicious, with a little bit of a kick. Unfortunately, once you got past the sauce, the wings themselves were not well seasoned. I got the fish (mahi-mahi) and chips. The fish batter was pretty good. The fish itself was tender and flaky, but not well seasoned.

She let us…read moretaste a couple beers to get something we liked and then quickly fixed an order that was slightly wrong. This is a great microbrewery with a classic sports bar vibe. They had the games playing with sound coming out clear through the speakers. They've got an awesome selection of craft beers and super yummy bar food. It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounds great. We decided on fried pickles to start and then a pulled pork sandwich and an order of wings for Wing Wednesday. The food was good and the side of tots were the perfect type of crispy. For beers, my spouse got a flight which he enjoyed. Special shout out to the Irish red ale and the nitro oatmeal stout! I got a 4 oz of the weizenbock and a 10 oz of the dry cider. Both were great! It looks like they have some community events here as well like weekly trivia, karaoke, and live dancing nights. This is a great, casual spot in Woodbridge that you should definitely stop by!

On our way to Woodbridge, Nicole and I stopped by Fair Winds Brewing Company in Lorton…read more By the time we got inside, the taproom was packed (rainy Sundays = everyone had the same idea), and we ended up sharing a table with another party. Not ideal, but it definitely added to the lively, community vibe. Nicole went bold with the Ghost of the Mariner Imperial Stout -- rich, dark, and layered with deep roasted notes. Perfect for stout lovers who want something robust and cozy on a rainy day. I kept it bright with the Fruit Punch Fruited Sour -- juicy, tangy, and super refreshing. A fun contrast to the gray skies outside and very much my vibe. We sampled Ironmaster Hazy IPA and Sailing Cross The Devil's Sea Hazy IPA to decide which one deserved a 6-pack for the hubby. Both were smooth, juicy, and low bitterness -- classic hazy energy -- but one edged out the other in overall balance and drinkability. Overall: great variety, solid pours, and a buzzing atmosphere -- just be prepared for limited seating during peak times.

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.

NOT SAFE FOR KIDS, BUT THE BEER IS GOOD…read more Waters End Brewery in Lake Ridge is a pleasant venue for adults to hang out and enjoy one of Waters End's fine beers. If you're thinking about bringing your kids, you might want to consider that management is OK with their trivia night DJ blasting out songs laced with expletives and vulgar themes. And, they have no problem with the DJ wearing a T-shirt that proclaims, "I [heart] MILFs". If you're not ready to explain that to your pre-teens, better leave them home, or pick a more responsible establishment.

I was so excited to visit this place after reading all the positive reviews; however, our…read moreexperience was a letdown due to the hospitality (or lack of it). We were here earlier than usual (10:30 am, don't judge me for drinking before noon!!!) and we're the only customers. It's uniquely located at a camp ground, but parking is a bit limited. The tasting room is small but has amble seating. There was a piano in the tasting room and no one was at the tasting room when we entered. My daughter who is a beginner pianist, wanted to play. Since there were no signs on the piano that forbid people touching, she went ahead and played. Then an older gentleman came in and told us in a stern tone that the piano is not for playing. He was not friendly at all and even after we apologized and ordered a flight for sampling, he still was not engaging. I'm not sure if he is the brew master or just someone works for the campsite store, but he didn't seem too happy to be there. We had the 2 stouts, an Amber, and pilsner on tap for our flight. They were all just OK. We didn't want to order more because his attitude and the sense that we were not welcomed there... Which was too bad because it was a nice space with plenty of outdoor seating, a playground in the back for kids to play while parents enjoy some refreshing beer. We will most likely not go back again given the cold-shoulder treatment.

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.
