We had a great time on the weekend at Lark! We ordered a few beer flights with different IPAs, wheat, beer, and more! For food, we got the chicken tenders, pepperoni flatbread, nachos , eggrolls and the Lark sampler! Everything was made-to-order very delicious! Even though it rained towards the end of our stay, the indoor section and covered patio area is very nice! It was packed with families, people with dogs etc. There was also live music until 4 PM on Sunday. The live music was inside but it was great song selections and it wasn't too loud. And there were big screen TVs everywhere for watching all of the games! Perfect spot to hang out with family and friends drinking great beer and munching on comfort food! read more

Full Review on Lark - In the grand scheme of Craft Beer in Northern Virginia - Lark is a fairly new brewery to our area. I've been going to breweries in Northern Virginia for over 14 years now and have seen a ton come and go. From Ocelot, to Old Ox, from Adroit Theory to Aslin, Solace, Honor, Route 7, Wheatland Springs, Dominion, Caboose, Crooked Run, Bluemont, Dirt Farm and probably some more. Bottom line - Lark is your average family get together venue, it rivals with Vanish, Dirt Farm and Bear Chase. Tons of room for the fam to run around and play, however - very limited parking space for the amount of seating areas. The service was okay, as someone who has served Beer and Wine for almost 3 years, I totally understand. However the staff was pretty hard to work with. They would stand behind the counter, they don't make eye contact and they don't ask who's next or really know how to engage the customer. They don't seem to be interested in their own beer. At one point there were 7 employees behind the counter while there were 3 -5 people in line. They should have teamed up and taken care of all 3 - 5 people at once. Pro tip: one person can serve multiple people, you don't need 7 people behind the bar. Get them working, you have waaaaay too many employees and barely any of them know what IBU means. For the beer, if you're a person who uses Untappd, I gave the brewery a 3/5. The beers were okay and probably need a lot more time for research. Why is a pilsner extra hoppy? But if you're really looking for a great venue with amazing service and amazing beer? Annnnnd family time? Hit up Wheatland Springs and you will not be disappointed Save yourself some time and money and just go to Ocelot for good beer and for beer and the family go to Wheatland Springs Lark is fairly new to the game but they're pulling the venue vibe card. Service 2/5 Beer 3/5 Venue 4/5 (Live music outside would take it further) read more

Lark Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Aldie, Virginia

BLUF: Popular venue on a nice day that gets very crowded. Parking is tough when busy. Food & beverages are pricey. Food seemed ok but not outstanding. Limited menu that seems more like the strategy is to see how many transformations of basic pub grub one can do. Not necessarily elevations but more like combinations of limited ingredients & heated quickly. Lots of seating but not really enough if you have kids. Come early on a busy day, if so. And, keep an eye out so that you don't get bonked by a ball, running children, jump ropes, bean bags, frisbees, cricket bats. Dogs on leashes allowed outside, so watch your step. Poop station available. Not too impressed by the menu. Unimaginative, quickly assembled bar food. Small portions. High prices. The food being brought out by staff didn't look or smell enticing enough to order anything. I'm guessing people enjoyed the booze. I think food trucks visit occasionally. It's a place good for gathering, and the kids entertain themselves. Not many appealing options for drinkers of beverages not containing alcohol & the few available are expensive. Staff seemed nice, polite, generally helpful. Are there staff enforcing rules so that you don't get bonked by a ball or bat on the patio? Not so much. When it's crowded, the grounds can get awfully squishy, but once you find a good place to sit, it's nice to kick back with friends and family. Worth the drive? For some. I'd definitely not drive out for the food. But if you're in the area and want to take a break, and it's not crowded, then it's a convenient place to pull off and stretch your legs. Enjoy a beverage, if that's your thing. They have an event space for private events, so if that's your need, give 'em a jingle. read more

Should have believed the reviews that said this place is absolutely mobbed with families and kids. Breweries are starting to take on a new level with this kind of thing. I mean they were everywhere, running around climbing on everything. Birthday parties, post weekend sports events, it was nuts. Not sure how I feel about it. Beer was fine, food was OK, prices were outrageous. It was a fine stop along the way but had too many downsides. Not for DINKs. read more

I love Lark brewing! Lots of great drink options and food options and so many seating options. Great family friendly brewery all year round. The service is awesome too! read more

New but more a play ground for small children while their parents drink. Very nice setting and beautiful building. Slightly out of the way but worth the drive. Food is ok; soft pretzel was surprisingly small. Beer is was ok and personal preference. read more

My family and I had a great time at Lark Brewing. The atmosphere was lively with wonderful music. Service was very quick, especially with the barcode on each table. The food was okay; we ordered the platter and fries, which are typical bar foods, but the $30 price tag was pretty high. Overall, we really enjoyed the place; just make sure to eat before you come. read more

I think Lark is a average - ok place. The atmosphere is good to have events- dog and kid friendly. There are a lot of different area's to rent for your events. I don't think the food is overly great and the drinks are not overly good either. So the driver to come is really the the outdoor space and sections to gather with groups. It is convenient meeting location for a lot of people, thus it's good again, to have events here. I've come twice now with kids in our party. I like there is some land for them to run on. I don't like it borders the street with a fence that isn't fully closed off. We also came for the Holiday crafts they had - but they ran out a hour before the event closed and we ended up walking away empty handed. read more

We came here for flights and good vibes while enjoying our drinks outside on a nice sunny day. Actually, day was a little too sunny and warm so after my flight, I treated myself to a frozen berry froze and that was refreshing and much needed!! To snack, we got truffle fries. It was a bit steep paying over $12 for a snack but for the views and good vibes, it balances out. Parking is free. Water stations are plenty. They have bathrooms both inside and outside. Service is quick and friendly. Honestly can't complain and would love to come back! read more

Lark Brewing - Flights galore! - Breweries Near Me - Aldie, Virginia

We've visited this place several times. I love it and will keep going back. Great ambience, good drinks and food. It's a really nice place to bring your family. There is plenty of space for kids to roam freely and play with other kids. They also have live music on the weekends. I definitely recommend this place for a fun family outing. read more

Stopped in on a cool, overcast Friday afternoon last week - first time visiting Lark... I reviewed the beer menu and ordered a tasting flight comprised of the following ales: Liquid Asset IPA (7.6% ABV) On A Whim NE IPA (7.5% ABV) On My Way NE IPA (6.5% ABV) Hops and Dreams AIPA (6.2% ABV) I'm not a fan of New England style IPA's in general. The Liquid Asset IPA was by far my favorite of the four ales. So after finishing the tasting flight - I went back for a pint of the Liquid Asset IPA. I sat outside on the back patio area of the main building and enjoyed the cooler air. There was a musician performing inside - and they piped his music through their speaker system so you could also hear him outside. I also ordered some food - using the barcode attached to my table. I went for the boneless Buffalo - with sides of Buffalo sauce and Blue Cheese. The food was delivered right to my table within 10 minutes of ordering. Pretty good heat on the Buffalo - more than I was expecting. They also had a nice texture/crunch to them. Nice snack to go with an IPA! Cool venue - I typically don't enjoy breweries when there are kids running amok - there were some kids playing out back - but the place wasn't so busy that it turned into a circus. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #LarkBrewing read more

Attended a breakfast with Santa event this weekend and although there were some positives, the overall event could use some tune up. When we arrived there was no seating, which was strange seeing as we paid for seats. There was a second tent which had its own offerings but not nearly as festive as the larger area and it was quite cold inside. The food was fine but ironically the beers were really average. I was surprised that they lacked a lot of depth. The overall beverage operation was really disorganized and almost everything lacked signage. I thought one cooler was water but it was hot cocoa. Not sure how anyone would know? Also there was no milk next to the coffee station. I felt like I had to ask wait staff for everything- I.e. where's the juice? Are there straws? The whole operation was odd because it seemed like there was a lot of staff but no one was doing much in particular. I can only assume this is a management issue. The event just lacked a lot of finesse that would make me hesitate returning to the venue. read more

Very cool spot to hang out for lunch/drinks. Indoor and outdoor spaces. Tons of outdoor seating. Good for families, there were tons of kids. - very serious about IDs, they scan the entire table even if you aren't drinking. - they have nonalcoholic options from 1-2 non alcoholic beers, grape slushy, 1 cocktail and lemonade. - grape slushy tastes like grape juice, good for kids - lots of families with kids here on a Sunday. - came at 12 and was easy to find a table and parking - many tables for big groups outside - outdoor seating is a mix of picnic tables, lawn chairs and tables under a covered roof. There are two areas with covered roofs that have TV's. - food: we got the platter that had the nuggets, spring rolls, pretzels and potatoes. The spring rolls and pretzels were surprisingly good and I would order this platter again. read more

Visited Lark today with our uncles who live in the area - everyone's first time and the place was a hit! Very family friendly, plenty of place to run around and the food comes out quick (no specific kids menu but the grilled cheese was a huge hit). The Director of Operations, Kat, was lovely, came by our table to chat and shared a little more about the makers market they were hosting and some of the special events (Monday bingo night!!) they have going on. The food was not only quick but also delicious -- I will be dreaming about the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls tonight. My uncle was in the mood for a burger which wasn't on the brewery menu but they did have at a food truck outside!! Not a beer girl but I tried one and it was great (I think called the one sip wonder). TVs and lively atmosphere, could've spent the whole day here!! read more

Came by for a flight and a snack. This location is huuuuge and I definitely want to return with a group or at least my kids. They have multiple areas even within the barn-like restaurant. I will say that it's more self service. They have servers but their teens who seem to be just hanging around so it's faster to go and pick up your food than attempt to wait for anything. Enjoyed the fireplace and outdoor "bubbles". The sofa seats were nice too. read more

This is quite the place. There is plenty of seating even for the largest of groups. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The short rib grilled cheese is incredible. Old Bay Chicken wings may be my all time favorite wings ever. Did a flight of IPA's then a glass of their West Coast IPA. read more

Another chuckie cheese like atmosphere- tons of kids everywhere and really hard to sit inside and speak when its so loud. Parking: its like a game of Rush - they squeeze you in or you may be parked far back. The buildings: they have 2-3 covered spaces outdoors but when it's hot, even that doesn't really provide relief. There is one area that is 21+ and there seem to be a few bars outside. The inside has a smaller upstairs that was rented out and the lower area was very packed. The main building had individual stall bathrooms that always had a line. Service: quick since you can order at the bars or using QR codes. We didn't order food but got the froze/sangria mix quickly when we ordered and you can easily close out. At a place this busy, we really appreciate fast service. My friend was pregnant and they golf carted her from her far parking spot to the front which was awesome. Drinks: froze/sangria mix was refreshing but wasnt sure how much wine was really in it and it was quite sweet. Would try other things in the future (my friend got a snow cone she loved). Overall great spot when the weather is punishingly hot or the place isnt packed to the gills with birthday celebrations. They had some food trucks onsite and their own food which looked decent. read more

Awesome venue, great beer, really friendly service and they love dogs. What more could you ask for? The Helles and Hefeweizen are both great beers! Our dogs LOVED the cupcakes. Don't sleep on this place, worth the drive! read more

Food, appetizers are good. Service is right there, order from table. Ambiance on a rainy day is crowded but friendly folks likewise seeking beer. Good beer. A little noisy. But to be expected. read more

The boneless wings were hard and dry under the mounds of BBQ sauce. The cheesesteak egg rolls were completely without flavor. Prepare yourself for what passes for "service ". You have to scout out your own table, order your own food from the QR code on the table, then pay online. The bidders were quick about cleaning the tables. The beer was cold. Overall, not worth the overpriced food. read more

So....good location and pretty chill place to hangout with the whole family. Beer and wine was ok for both me and my husband. Food was not good, tasted like frozen food from the box. read more

Looking for a great spot with both indoor and outdoor seating? This is a fantastic spot. You can play a little cornhole or realax inside in the AC with. Tv and some live music. The beer is fantastic and the food is great. Great place to spend a nice sunny afternoon. You can order from the QR code at the tables or go to the cashier. Staff is friendly. read more

One of the most beautiful breweries I've been to. It is incredibly scenic with different spots to enjoy a drink or bar food. The wings were good and I appreciated that your order can be delivered right to your table (you can scan a QR code from your table to order). It was also super dog friendly! When I was leaving I also discovered a dog park right behind one of Lark's buildings. I'm going to make it a point to take my pups there. read more

Ventured out to Lark to kill some time during soccer games. I was impressed with the grounds and set up. They have a massive outdoor area with corn hole, games, TVs, fire pits, seating, photo op area and bar. You can order drinks and food from the QR code on your table and the staff with bring it out. The menu isn't large, but enough to meet the needs of a group. I ordered the London Broil French Dip sandwich, truffle fries and then snacked on then wings and pretzels from other parents. Everything was satisfying, but a little pricey. There was a Hawaiian food truck that I noticed after the fact. Overall a great place to relax, enjoy the weather and grab some food. Tip - Check out the bathroom doors ; ) read more

What a great place to spend the afternoon at. Very large with plenty of options on places to sit. Had a beer flight and thought the choices were very good. We did order a pretzel that was also very good (just took a bit to get). Looks to be a fun place to bring your kids too also. Plenty of space to move around inside and out. read more

Cute brewery. Beer and non alcoholic options were both tasty and the wings were also decent. It was really hot when we went so we had stayed inside but they have a large outdoor space as well. Would definitely go back read more

First time @ Lark and it was wonderful! Staff is super friendly (and very dog loving ) as I brought my recently rescued puppy, Levi, to enjoy the nice Sunday evening (and his first brewery outing!) Beer is delicious, my favorite being the 'Helles Yeah!' And those cheesesteak egg rolls are yum! Love the lay out and the atmosphere is nice. We will definitely be back! read more

Lark Brewing - Pups first brewery! - Breweries Near Me - Aldie, Virginia

Booked a winter igloo for a special Christmas Eve birthday celebration and I must say, it was a REALLY good time! This place is soooooooo cute! I mean, from the front door, through the main dining hall, and out to the yard, everything is so nice! The service is also great. You order food via a QR code and they promptly bring it out to your igloo. In the igloo, there's plenty of comfortable seating, throws, TV and heater to stay warm. I was also able to put up a little bday decor without a problem. The booking comes with a pitcher of beer or wine and a charcuterie pretzel. I also think these igloos are really affordable compared to other DC area igloo dining options. I mean, it's a little ways from the city, but very much worth the drive. Menu items were also decent, we had steak and cheese egg rolls, chicken tenders, fries, salad, sausage and wings. The various beers we tried were great and we ended up buying more to take home with us. It's the perfect way to have a chill bite with the fam. It's kid friendly and pet friendly. And my 13 year old was asking if they'd still have the igloos for her late spring birthday because that's where she wants to celebrate. read more

Lark was an average brewery experience that I would say people can check out and determine if it's to their taste or not, but for us it was very "mid". The plus is that it's large outdoor space allows for people to spread out but we also went on a weekday and it seems like others may have a different experience on the weekends. We liked that they have a barcode system to bring your food and drinks to your table versus going up to the bar yourself. We enjoyed a beer, cider, and frozen sangria which were all pretty tasty. We also got the Philly egg rolls which were okay but they give you a very small amount of sauce/cheese to use for dipping. The prices here are much higher than any other brewery we've been to in the area so if your looking for budget this isn't the place. They have a few choices for outdoor games like corn hike and Jenga which are pretty fun and add to the atmosphere. All in all this place is okay for people who live close by and don't mind spending the extra money. read more

A new brewery a little out of the urban environment. Very nice new construction. Main building has some indoor seating along with bathrooms (love the sit stand markings), bar, and kitchen. Large outdoor area with lots of seating, though most of it was in use. Two covered seating bar areas. One is marked for 21 and above only. Lots of kids and dogs roaming around. Several corn hole sets and a few other entertainment options. Good selection of beer. Decent selection of food. Beer is a bit pricey, ranging from $8.50 to $10 per pint. Food is also a little high, but not quite as bad. I made the mistake of starting at the bar and opening a tab. When I found seating and saw the QR code to order, I realized I'd have to open a second tab since there is no way to link your currently open tab. Save yourself the trouble and find your seating location first. Drinks and food were delivered individually but fairly quick after ordering. This is definitely worth a visit if you're within an hour drive, but due to the prices we probably won't go back often if at all. read more

The best aspect of this brewery is that it has lovely indoor and outdoor space. But the beer is expensive and not very g. The food is even worse. Tasted a few beers and settled on the red ale. Got poured a glass with no foam. Because it was flat. The staff tasted it to confirm it was flat, but said they could not fix it. So I had to pick another beer. The food was bad. The sandwich was described as a short rib grilled cheese. But what we got was a soggy sandwich with mushy meat and I think some cheese over-melted into the bread (maybe that is why it was so soggy)? It came with soggy fries. All for $16. I wanted to like this place, but can't see any reason to return. read more

I've been here a couple times now, once with family and once for an event, and it's fantastic. There's a lot of beautiful outdoor space and really convenient QR codes for ordering. It's kid-friendly, and there are games of cornhole scattered throughout. The food and service are fantastic. On a hot day, I'd recommend the frozen rosé! When I was planning an event, the coordinators were super helpful and responsive: I always got a response back within the same day. We rented out the Found Pavilion with catering, and the event was success. We received multiple comments about how cool the venue was. The service we received was top-notch: everyone was friendly and helpful. We did caprese skewers, ravioli bite, and bbq meatballs as stationary appetizers, and then the premium buffet package with salmon filet, pulled pork, brisket, mac & cheese, brussels sprouts, and Caesar salad for mains. Everything was delicious. A severe thunderstorm came out of nowhere toward the end of the event, and they let us hang out past our scheduled event time to wait it out: we had great service throughout. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Lark is one of the newer breweries located within Loudoun County. It has a designated parking lot, but can get busy so there is street parking on Route 15. They have beer, wine, sangria and cocktails. Their service was good for being busy. We had a beer and sangria. They do have food here: from nachos, to burgers/sandwiches, to salads and ice cream. They have a nice indoor and outdoor setup for seating areas! I look forward to coming back here for food! read more

Came on a hot summer afternoon & this place was packed. Indoor seating was hard to come by & all the shaded outdoor spots were taken. People were fighting for tables. Aside from that, the overall vibes are great. Super kids friendly & the food is surprisingly decent for brewery eats. Good selection of beers, ciders, & frozen slushie drinks. Kids enjoyed the grilled cheese. Wings were nice & crispy, but too salty. Lobster roll was SO good! Came with a generous amount of meat. Had to order another one because it was so good. Overall, great place to unwind. read more

Lark Brewing opened up probably about 2-3 months ago. Been here a couple of times now. Love that it's so close to home. The first time we were super excited to try everything since it was new to us. However, we quickly found out how expensive everything was especially when you close your tab at the end of the night. The food was okay. I'd say our favorites were probably the short rib grilled cheese and the fries. I did love that they offer wine slushies since I don't really drink beer. Our first time, the service was very slow and we weren't aware that you could order by scanning the QR code at your table. I think my favorite part about this brewery is the atmosphere and open space of the property. They do have bar and table seating as well as fire pits. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket for the kids to sit on. Love how family oriented it was. My family had a great time. read more
