Upon entering the restaurant, first impression was that it was clean compared to other sports bars. We reserved the private room which was comfortable. Usually when I frequent sports bars, I have a hard time finding something on the menu that I find appetizing. Well, not here! I've been a fan of mushrooms since childhood and so the mushroom ravioli stood out to me and it was delicious! It's a hefty portion if you add additional protein. Too bad I forgot my to-go container and noticed when I was nearly home :( I tried my friend's Fish & Chips which were equally delicious and perfectly crispy. I'll come back to get my own plate of Fish & Chips and French Onion Soup. The White Russian was especially well-done. They also had St. Patrick's Day specials and while I don't think I would try the Sparkling Shamrock in the future though enjoyed that they had fun options to try. I also am appreciative that there are a handful of non-alcoholic options for someone like me who gets easily flushed. This was my first non-alcoholic beer I've tried and am a fan. The restroom is a bit awkward; upon entering the women's restroom, there is only a single stall and not sure if there is a lock mechanism - anyone can enter and could enter the stall if you aren't holding the stall door restroom. Otherwise the restroom is well maintained and clean. +Mushroom Ravioli-wild mushroom ravioli sautéed with fresh spinach, pancetta, mushrooms, tomato and onions in a sherry-parmesan cream sauce, topped with parmesan cheese w/ shrimp +Fish & Chips-handcut cod filets dipped in beer batter and golden fried, served with hand cut fries, coleslaw and a malt vinegar tartar sauce +Salted Caramel White Russian-Salted caramel vodka, kailua, salted caramel syrup, cream, shaken over ice with a garlic of salted caramel popcorn +Sparkling Shamrock-Vanilla vodka, dark creme de menthe, white creme de cocoa, cream, edible glitter +Erdinger Non-Alcoholic Beer

Always a great time at Astro!…read more Sometimes you have to wait for service but all in all they always pull through. My go to is the smash burger and tots!! Love their crispy tots. Since I don't eat meat they do offer the smash burger to be subbed with impossible meat. One of my favorite bartenders is Sammy!! He's always great with listening to my drink orders especially when I have a special request and a great person to have conversation with a boy sports and such. Cool guy that loves his family!!

They also have great daily specials. They have a gigantic projection screen TV on the ground floor for sports and karaoke. They have been experimenting with the karaoke, but I am so glad they brought it back! It was so popular so it was confusing why they changed it to begin with. Karaoke is hopefully back to stay on Fridays from 9pm-1am. When it gets busy, the service can be slow. However, it is usually good. They have a private back room on the ground floor for hosting private parties, holiday parties, birthdays, corporate events and happy hours. The rooftop patio has a full bar and is very nice to eat there and relax in warmer weather. Bathrooms are usually clean. There are two entrances -- one sliding door without stairs near the ground floor outside patio and the main entrance does have stairs. There are no elevators. The ground floor is massive and able to hold hundreds of people. This is a great spot for sports, brunch, karaoke, and just socializing.

Well what ever you dont drink your beer from a glass pint because multiple times I heard the bar…read moretender tell people "you dont want it in a glass the dish washer has been broken for over a year" I dont expect a lot when going to a sports bar but man this place is just sad.... Workers look pissed. Fred the bartender was an absolute trip pitchers falling over all the place beer taps sputtering and foam. I ordered off the happy hour menu for a "smash burger" its not a smash burger its a frozen store patty unsmashed. When I asked about it I was told "I dont F'ing know they changed this S and dont even tell us" I knew I was in for interesting time when every worker in there looks like they do not want to be there. Finshed my food and drink and got the heck out of there. Order a cocktail and they just yolo it when making it. Hope the Virginia Department of Health comes and checks this place out asap.

As soon as I let them know, they brought out newly poached eggs right away. Great bar set up with large TVs. A fun table side treat is the popcorn that is on every table at the start. It is worth a visit and a great spot for brunch. I was not a fan of the automatic 22% tip charge for a group. I have seen 20% auto which is fine and normally what I tip. I was surprised by the 22%.

We stopped in for lunch before taking some family to the airport, and Copperwood Tavern was perfectly on the way. From the start, things felt easy and relaxed. A few family members ordered the fried green tomatoes. Since they're Southern, they felt the tomatoes could've used a bit more batter--but that critique is very subjective. Flavor-wise, they still enjoyed them. Several of us had the onion soup. It leaned a little on the watery side, but it was still comforting and did its job warming us up on a cold day. My mom ordered the farmer's salad with squash, and that maple mustard vinaigrette? Chef's kiss. The flavors paired beautifully and made the dish shine. A few family members ordered the tavern burger, which was huge--easily enough for two meals. I went with the grilled rosemary chicken, which was flavorful, well-cooked, and very satisfying. We didn't even make it to dessert because everyone was full, which says a lot. The ambiance was very holiday-focused and cozy, service was efficient without being rushed, and parking is metered with a two-hour limit. Overall, a solid stop with comforting food, generous portions, and a warm atmosphere. Copperwood Tavern proves that sometimes the quieter spots are absolutely worth the visit.
