    Bar seating.
    Ray C.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had time to grab some food before I flight departed. We had one order of sliders and a regular cheeseburger. The fries were great, the big steak fries. The burger was just okay. The sliders were probably the better option between the two. Tall ice cold drafts were $12.

    the menu for the restaurant

    Waiting for a connecting flight... I like the hospitality from the host, and how the employees here are accommodating to the customers. Food was decent. Typical quick fix bar food before connecting to the next flight. Nothing special. Live, love and laugh - Sha

    Restaurant Dallas international Airport A gates

    I arrived to Dulles Airport to take my flight and came across this Firkin & Fox "British" pub . This is not a British pub and never will be. Silly me for thinking it.be. Should be called "American stile nothing like British Pub". False advertising.

    Stranded in Dulles Airport this place offers up great drinks (bam!), has several beers on draft and makes a seriously tasty Reuben sandwich

    a sandwich and a drink on a table
    Marc L.

    Ate lunch today at Firkin & Fox while waiting for my connecting flight to Asheville, NC. This "English" pub really has zero British characteristics other than the wallpaper which has a British theme. Neither the menu nor the beers were anything even resembling anything British. Ok - they did have fish and chips - but that was really about it. I ended up having the Turkey Club with Avocado if that tells you anything. I poured some malt vinegar on my fries to try and have some sort of Anglican Experience. With the above said - I totally enjoyed this place. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and completely cognizant of the fact that service needed to be quick. They inquired whether I wanted a second beer exactly at the right point in time. I appreciated that. And my Turkey Club sandwich was delicious (although i guess it would be tough to mess that particular sandwich up) So if I'm ever passing through Dulles Airport ever again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop at Firkin & Fox for a quick meal before I jump on the plane and fly away!

    Wings
    Jim S.

    This was pretty good for an airport, the wings were cooked to order with a nice crispy skin and the fries were fresh and hot when they arrived. The manager stopped and checked on me twice and it was a good experience. It's an airport so it's pricey but that's expected.

    Much needed spirits and libations
    Alice G.

    This was the only good thing that happened to me on a ridiculous day of covid travel. After a United Flight Attendant made me cry, I found Firkin in terminal A, it was spit polish clean and the manager welcomed me in. Tables were spaced for social distancing. I enjoyed a Stella then ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. I expected a big fried thing, but it was a delicious juicy grilled chicken instead! Hi quality, with tons of fries. I ordered a second Stella and lounged there for an hour. They played Beatles music mostly, but then switched it over to pop. It was a nice layover in DC only because of Firkin.

    Black bean burger with avocado
    Sharon G.

    This place was right in front of my gate when I arrived and I was STARVING. looking around I realized it was the only sit-down restaurant within eyesight, so I opted in. I got the black bean burger with avocado, and it also came with fries, and it was by far the BEST veggie burger I've had in a very long time. Totally recommend this place! The staff was very nice and attentive as well.

    Nachos-No meat
    Artrell W.

    I wish I had more time to sit and enjoy my food. I had to try one more place before my food adventure ended and this place was in the terminal near my gate. The staff was very cognizant of my time and they made it a point to get me everything I asked for quickly. They were also very friendly and pleasant. They were fast, but they didn't rush. I appreciate that. I didn't check into Yelp until after I had received my food. That's when I learned of the 10% coupon. They even adjusted my check after the fact for me. The food was delicious, though I wish I had not gotten the nachos to go. I didn't start eating until after we were allowed to drop our tray table during the flight (probably 45 minutes later). The flavors were still good. They use melted cheese as opposed to cheese sauce, which is disappointing to me, but I know good nachos when I eat them and these were well-balanced nachos.

    Washington-Dulles unfortunately has the worst bar scene of any major city airport I've been to. I travel a lot and I can't think of one that I would consider to be second worst... for perspective, It's easier to have a good time at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's airport. Anyways, I ended up here. I can accept the fact that their Moscow mule was not served in a copper mug, which is painful to say because it was $13.99. The one star rating is because it was shaken like a martini before it was served to me. To circle back, there aren't any other bars in the airport I can recommend going to but definitely avoid this one.

    With only 45 minutes before boarding started, we were met outside Firkin and Fox by one of their employees who promised us that we'd be served in 10 minutes or under. True to his word, our chicken tenders and fries were delivered to our table in short order. The BBQ sauce that came with the chicken was there for dunking. Good thing because the chicken was a bit dry. Not bad. Definitely edible. The fries were ok too I noticed that there are plenty of places to charge your phone under the long bar. And, many people were enjoying a cold one while charging. They have Guinness!! They also have a full bar. Service was quick and easy. Yelp offered a 10% discount which we gladly took. We made it back to the gate with time to spare. Clap! Clap! Clap!

    Wow. Only Graden on menu

The bar area is self-seating.I chose to sit in the bar area...the only remaining big table with high chairs/table...it was packed! The happy hour is pretty awesome here. They have daily happy hour from 4-6 pm, which is pretty awesome, starting early and ending late. There is also a power hour from 3-6, where everything on the happy hour menu is $5, which is a little early!! The menu includes regular bar food and a variety of drinks (as shown in the picture). We ordered the following: -Let that "man"go - in general it's an iced drink, so I'd avoid. -Spicy pina marg - another iced drink. It was ok. -I'm Ron Burgundy (2x)- this had a nice strong coffee flavor, doesn't come with ice; I would highly recommend it...they made it so good!!! -Maker's mini nachos - There proportion of chips to toppings was off there wasn't enough toppings and too many chips, but there was a lot of cheese. -Calamari was a good portion, and tasty -Chicken tenders - they were delicious and moist There are so many items to choose from on the power hour/happy hour menu. I would definitely recommend lil B and the wings. There was live music, which was just way too loud for such a small space. We would have been okay with all the music. There is plenty of parking available in nearby garages, I believe free after 5pm. There is also timed/paid parallel parking. Would I return? definitely!

The buffalo wings, both mild and medium, were perfectly saucy and crispy with a good quality meat used. The potato skins shouldn't be slept on either, they were quite tasty and cheesy. We did get two mains, the chili mac and the chicken parm sub. Both were pretty mid- not bad but not as amazing as the appetizers. The chili mac should have been made on actual spaghetti and I think it would jazz it up. The chicken parm sub was good but too dry. Overall good service, good vibes, amazing apps.

Dark woods, colored lights stickers, TV playing, music going and the vats for brewing. Walked up and took a seat at the empty bar, arriving minutes after they opened on a Monday.
