At dinner time on a Saturday with the World Cup on one of the televisions, we visited to try the food and the beer. The pretzels and the sliders. The pretzels were the best we have ever had on this side of the Atlantic. We had one of each of the three types of sliders; the chicken was not that great but the other two were great. This also seems to be a family place with a few kids around. We plan on returning soon. read more

Nice brewery in Oakton. Bryan was the server at the bar and was friendly. They have unique beer flavors that I would highly suggest trying if you want something outside the box. Tasty though nonetheless, I enjoyed their Belgian style beer. They also have stouts, IPAs, etc. Lots of seating inside, good for large parties, food was good too. I'm glad the wings were not an afterthought like some other places. Look forward to coming to here again! read more

Wow, sleeper hit! I'm typically not a fan of bar food- but this place does it right! This is a great, pocket-sized bar in a strip mall in Oakton. They also have a sister space in Falls Church that I need to visit now, too. The staff was super friendly, offering their recommendations on food and drink. They were patient in my indecision and helped me make all my picks. In the end, I went their grilled cheese and tomato soup, which will envelop you in its coziness on a cold wintry day. And let me TELL YOU. That was the best grilled cheese + tomato soup I've ever had! I don't know what I was expecting. But the bread was light, perfectly buttered and toasted in just the right way to give it that chew. The cheese had a great melt and flavor. Then the soup! Move over, Campbell's. This was a housemade soup and you could really tell! I could taste the basil - it was perfectly seasoned and not overly tart or creamy. Just right. Who knew you could elevate such a simple staple like a tomato soup. My partner ordered a delectable stout to finish it all off, while our friends had their picks of IPAs and other beers. Check out their extensive beer menu! As a non-bar food lover, I was raving about my meal for days! Very odd for me. But I love how refreshing this place is. Bravo! read more

Hidden in a strip mall this location has on tap seasonal beers, wine, hose brewed cocktails, food and great service! You can try a sampler if you are interested in trying out the various beers and cocktails. I was adventurous and added the cold brewed vodka espresso to my order as a sweet, liquid dessert drink. It was good, but definitely packed a caffeine punch as well! The wings had tons of options for flavoring and I tried the slightly spicy Peruvian Aji Verde, which had crunchy skin and moist meat. Very tasty! The oversized pretzel as equally crisp on the outside with soft, warm center that melted in your mouth especially with the gouda cheese dip. So yummy! read more

Food was great. Spinach artichoke dip was kick Asche! The nice young lady from Coastal Carolina university who works there was a pleasure and very knowledgeable. So many TV's! This place should kick some real 'Asche' during NFL football season. None of that Soccer sh*t. In any event, if you don't come and check it out-ur stupid , sleep late man, does much easier on your constitution. its most extraordinary & excellent Have a nice day.

Had to cancel our beach trip this weekend due to a nor'easter and made an impromptu meetup with friends here. Not knowing that they happen to have a band playing here for a fundraiser. We tried a flight of beers and I liked the Hazy IPA and Cherry Sour. BBQed brisket was a little dry but it was tasty. The wings are OK , but the sauce was a bit saltier than I prefer. Overall we are glad that we've found this place. read more

Swung by what is probably our most local brewery for an afternoon beer. It's in a strip mall and has taken over two of the spaces in there. We went just for the beer, no food - I think a lot of the five star reviews are for the BBQ. Lots of space for friends, kids, big meetups, though we just sat at a high top and enjoyed one of the sports games while we tried our beers. Quality was fine, I thought the Kolsch was a little off but the others we sampled were good. Kind staff too. We'll try their space in Merrifield / Falls Church next. read more

The reviews don't lie, the food is pretty dang good. We got the frickleburger, frickles, and wings. They should be considered in that order. The burger was magnificent. Not too greasy, not too dry. Excellent! The frickles were lightly breaded and paired very well with the chipotle ranch. Beer was good but hard to compare to the food. Ngl vibes were interesting. Pretty dead on a Saturday night and music was all over the place (I'm talking Kesha and Jason Mraz...) but it fit our needs! Would recommend for a chill vibe. read more

Very good beer! Lots of beer on tap and they allow samplers. Staff was very friendly and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and decor. Plenty of TVs to watch sports or anything else, staff let me know to tell them if I wanted a channel change. Marzen was good and I would recommend, very good malty taste. read more

Love the local vibe. Great beer, no kidding. Loved that they had more non-IPAs like a Hefeweizen. Food options were nice as well. Mild crowd but fun events like quiz night and live music. Worth becoming a regular read more

We went to an event there last night and it was a great vibe. The music was good and not too loud. The service was great - we were able to get our drinks right away even though there was a good-sized crowd there. The food was really good - especially the chicken dip with tortillas...it had just a little kick to it. We live in Centreville but will definitely be back! read more

Super friendly service, great brew and the best wings in NoVa! I'm not kidding! Check it out! read more

Excellent drinks and delicious food. The staff is helpful and very friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Great drinks, Great service, great venue. I will absolutely schedule more group meet ups here!

SDE oakton is great. My favorite beer by far is the cloud 9 but they always have a good selection to try. Brian is awesome he is always friendly and gives a great input on things to try. Kennedy and Jax the other bartenders have always been just as welcoming and friendly. Great place to go and relax. Foods good beers great. Definitely recommend trying the grilled chicken sandwich with some fries and the bread pudding. read more

Fabulous atmosphere and the bartenders are excellent. Over the top since they added the pig

Came into Settle Down Easy because of a chocolate and candle vendor. Was able to try some of their seltzers and it was really delicious. The service here is really good and is very bright and spacious! Can't wait to come back and try some of their beers and some of the food! read more

Always a great time here! New menu has many more options all delicious! Flatbreads, wings (great flavors), burgers, chili nachos and of course the beer. All Weiner No Schnitzel beer is my favorite today! read more

The food was great. Staff was super nice. Spent a little more money than planned, but it was worth it. We'll be back.

I have been to both locations and prefer the new Oakton spot. The beers to go can get a bit pricey ($24 for a 4 pack!), but it's a convenient location, nice and clean, with different types of seating, and offering flights. I think the way they do their flights is pretty cool too with color coding so it's easy to tell which drink is which. The food options at The Fermented Pig are also pretty tasty. read more

I visited last month with a group of people. The server was very helpful and informed us about the ordering and payment processes. We had a bunch of apps (charcuterie board, nachos, etc) and I ordered the chili. The food was awesome and very shareable. I had the IPA to wash it all down. Will definitely return with family. My only suggestion is I do wish they add a few acoustical elements to damper the noise. read more

I don't want to give this one a 3 stars rating. But that's what the beers of settle down easy are. What I like is that this place is combined with the "fermented pig" restaurant which is awesome with excellent Barbeque options. Love the sliders, nachos, salads and pretzels. There's plenty of room and the ambiance is low key and inexpensive looking. Not pretentious. For settle down easy the service is ok....the lady at the bar was surly and awkward whereas the guy was friendly and professional. Their NE IPAs are average including their signature ones. The milk stout would rate a 4, as well as the unique lager brewed in bourbon casks. Looking forward to more and better brew options here. But for now I prefer going to Aslin brewing or the new Commonwealth brewing for great beer. But I want this place to do well hence the 4 stars. read more

Had them all; no duds. Damn good beer up and down the list. Really liked the 123 and 4Cloud18. Partnership with Fermented pumps out brisket heavy food (had the chili and nachos). Good prices on both tabs. Edit. SUNDAY TICKET read more

Been there twice since opening and the beer, food and service has been great! Definitely go check it out! read more

Best restaurant!! Food, service, and beer were awesome. Best part is that it's family owned and operated so there's a good chance that the guy behind the bar is your neighbor or went to school with your kids. I go there all the time and hosted my holiday party there. Great place whether you want a chill dinner, want to watch football, or want a fun night out. read more

Great brewery with solid beers and love the brewery side of the new location. Polite staff, helpful with decisions, and everything you expect from Settle Down Easy. Unfortunately, they partnered with a disrespectful restaurant owner and our group will continue to drive to the original location until a different restaurant occupies their space. read more

Great atmosphere. Great beer Great service. Love it. It's the modern neighborhood bar. And the food at Fermented Pig is amazing . Best of both world. read more

Tasty and true-to-style beer, just five minutes from our house. We loved the open space too! Happy to see The Fermented Pig has a home, with Casey making some great recommendations. We ordered brisket nachos and BLT slides with FP's famous bacon and finished up with a warmed cinnamon bun, ice cream, and a glass of Le Grand Chocolat. read more

Great beer and great food. So glad to have a cool place to hang in Oakton. Try the Ghost of Val and the chili.

Excellent brewery, friendly owners and staff, and the Gastropub quality permanent "food truck inside" restaurant with gourmet takes on pub fare is worth the stop. Their standard beers are excellent.. some of their rotators are even better. Have Ben a couple times this month and it's now on the regular rotation! read more

What a great opening for such a deserving enterprise! Super beer with fabulous food from Fermented Pig. Come hungry and thirsty!!
