    The food was excellent, and the ambience had a wonderfully eclectic charm. I especially appreciated…read morethe artwork and the painter's style throughout the space. Our server was incredibly helpful and provided top-notch customer service that made the experience even better. Unfortunately, the hostess left a very different impression. They came across as rude and passive-aggressive, which was disappointing since they are the first point of contact for guests. I understand weekends can get busy and stressful, but a more welcoming and professional attitude would greatly improve the overall experience.

I couldn't get a real feel for the restaurant because of the crowds of people, but I did enjoy the artwork hanging in the bar area. They had $7 margarita specials, and I really should've ordered 2 because it was exactly what I needed. After devouring one order of chili shrimp tacos, I felt another was warranted. The taco shell was a bit inconsistent, soft in some parts and charred/crispy in others. The flavors were exceptional though, with the heat from the chili sauce paired with the shrimp and peanuts.

    The food is excellent! Especially with the new menus, it offers many more tastier and healthier…read moreoptions. I love their extra large milk shakes! Prices are reasonable. 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. Last time I ever set foot in this joke of an establishment.

    We have been to Samuel Beckett's many times over the decades, and it remains a reliable, simple,…read morevalue option for dinner or drinks or brunch in Shirlington. Not special, but reliable, with something on the menu to please anybody. It's not our first choice for food (this isn't exactly a chef-driven restaurant), but if you like Irish fare, they do a respectable job with all of that: corned beef, bangers & mash, lamb, fish & chips, etc., plus burgers and "bar food"-level salads and the like. Samuel Beckett's deserves extra points for NOT raising prices to the same degree as some of its Shirlington neighbors. For a table service restaurant these days, it's a greater value than it's ever been, and that's much appreciated.

We shared the Irish baked brie. This was tasty but definitely could have been warmer. I had the Lamb Stew as my entree. It was just OK. I prefer a creamier sauce, and the lamb wasn't as tender as I expected. The Irish brown bread (thin slice) that accompanied it was tasty, but the butter was not Kerrygold as the menu states. I'll select a different entree if I return. My friend had Shepherd's Pie which she enjoyed. She also ordered the bread pudding. I had a bit but it was too sweet for me. We did enjoy the ice cream that came with. Karlen, our waiter was attentive, and offered to split the cost of our appetizer. Much appreciated!

The atmosphere was bar appropriate with minimal noise, so I didn't need to raise my voice at all since I was in the tabled area in the back. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely.

    My friend and I were looking for a quick bar to slip into around 10-11 PM and stumbled across this…read morespot. It's not too far from the waterfront, so it made for a nice walk after gelato. At first, you'll see what looks like just a pizza shop -- but if you head in and either use the side door or walk through and climb a set of stairs, you'll find the speakeasy upstairs. Very cool vibe: dark, cozy, and date-night ready. Drinks: 4/5 I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned, and it was definitely the highlight of the night but sweeter than I would have liked. They served it over a stamped solid block of ice (a small detail I ). My friend was abstaining from alcohol that night and asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail. To our surprise, they didn't just hand her a lemonade like most places -- they actually made her a crafted virgin drink, which she loved. Food: 3/5 We ordered fries and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The fries turned out to be waffle fries (not mentioned on the menu) and were overly crispy, so not really our favorite. The pizza was fine -- clearly sourced from the shop downstairs -- but it leaned oily and didn't really wow us. Service: 5/5 Pretty standard -- nothing over the top, but not neglectful either. Drinks came out reasonably fast, food followed, and we were checked on enough without it feeling pushy. Vibes: 4/5 The speakeasy itself is definitely the selling point. Dark, intimate, and stylish -- you feel like you've found a little hidden spot. All in all, the cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you're into whiskey. The food was forgettable, but it's convenient that you can order pizza upstairs. We spent about $30-40 for drinks and snacks, which isn't shocking for Old Town. Would I go back? Maybe if I was already in the area, but for a dedicated whiskey night, I'd probably head somewhere else.
