    Make sure to make happy hour, with food and drink specials before a movie. A good gathering place for a group

    Can I buy a beverage at departures and take it into theatre?

    I just posted under "Alamo Drafthouse," and didn't realize that their separate bar, Departures, has a separate Yelp listing.

    Let's start with the Sunday Brunch…read more I defy anyone to find fault with that value. First round of mimosas is expensive but the next six rounds is cheeeeap. And the selection?!?! For under $70 two people can have crab cakes benedict, fried brussels, crispy French toast... I don't even remember. Like ten different things! I didn't have to eat again until 9pm. The food was great! Vinny, who was our handler (clearly he has training in special education or something because we that table. Or maybe the TIPS trainings have advanced to include messy brunch people) was fun, patient, and knowledgeable. This is THE SPOT for brunch on Sunday.

    I visited Makers Union Pentagon City for a 4:45pm Thursday reservation for four. I arrived on time…read moreand was seated outside on the patio. Unfortunately, service started off on the wrong foot. There was a very large party already on the patio, and I was seated behind them. I waited about 12-15 minutes before the rest of my group arrived, but no server ever came by. We decided to head inside to get re‑seated, but couldn't find a hostess anywhere. We eventually flagged down a random server in the bar area and asked if a four‑top could be cleared so we could sit there instead. Thankfully, once we moved inside, everything improved dramatically. Service from that point on was attentive and friendly. The "Peoples Hour" menu was a highlight--great pricing without feeling "cheap." Appetizers were $6-10, cocktails $6-8, wines $6, and beers $6.50. The Down & Dirty (a vodka martini variation without vermouth) was solid, and the Out of the Office...Forever rum punch was decent. For food, we tried several items: - Makers Mini Nachos with steak -- Generous toppings but the chips got soggy quickly under all the queso, sour cream, and guac, which is not necessarily a bad thing. - Taco-bout Fish -- Crispy cod with a lemon aioli; one of the better bites of the night. - Drop It Like It's Hot -- Really good chicken tenders with a spicy Comeback sauce. - Lil B sliders -- Nicely cooked and not overdone; the Comeback sauce added a nice kick. The space has an upscale sports‑bar vibe with TVs above and around the bar. Seating can feel tight when it's busy, and the noise level definitely climbs, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter meal. Despite the rocky start, the rest of the evening was enjoyable. Good food, great happy hour pricing, and solid service once we were settled inside. I'd return--just probably not to the patio during a big party.

    If I could rate this lower, I would. And I absolutely hate to give a one star, but this was highway…read morerobbery. Let's start with service: Although the server promptly handed me a menu, she disappeared for the next 22 mins. She walked past my table 4 times, but never came to check on me. When I initially sat down, the table next to me ordered salads & beers. They were nearly done with their food before I was able to place an order. Presentation: The menu is very straightforward, but there are definitely some liberties taken with the descriptions of the food. I opted to order the pork belly tacos, and because I love them, I also ordered a side of hush puppies. I don't eat a lot, so I figured I'd have leftovers to take up to my room. Food: Imagine my surprise when I was presented with the sorriest 4 pork belly tacos I've ever seen. Each was maybe a bite and a half. My Apple Watch was almost bigger. They came with a green chile sauce & pico de gallo. Both bowls of sauce were twice the size of the tacos. Speaking of, the tacos were overstuffed with cabbage & onions, & maybe a hint of pork. I was very glad I ordered the hush puppies. Until I had a look at them. I received 4 of the most overcooked, flavorless hush puppies I've ever eaten. And inside they had crab, I did not receive the sauce. I did not finish them. Along with a Heineken, I spent $50. I want my money back.
