I love Spacebar's casual and fun ambiance. If you need a low-key place for a beer and a grilled cheese, this is it. We went right when they opened on a Saturday night and it filled quickly. We loved our grilled cheeses, beers, and tots. Our server was friendly and it was a relaxing meal. Glad we were able to visit. read more

Couldn't go wrong with beer, sandwich and rock music. They close the kitchen around 10ish, but open till midnight or 2 AM based on the guests. read more

Unique | turkey & tots | packed Unique - Probably one of the most unique spots I've ever been to. It definitely leans dive bar--but in the best way--with a menu that offers red meat, pork, turkey, and vegan options... but no chicken, which is a rare twist. They also had a solid lineup of non-alcoholic drinks and more than 10 beers on tap. A quirky, memorable place that stands out. Turkey & tots - I went with the turkey sandwich, which was served in a pulled pork style--shredded and flavorful. It came with standard tater tots on the side. The meal hit the spot: I was hungry but not starving, and it was filling and satisfying without being too heavy. Packed - The space itself is fairly small, but always busy. We were staying at the hotel across the street and every time we looked over, it was consistently over 50% full. Clearly a local favorite and worth the crowd. Pro tip: The loaded tots are a crowd favorite--but huge. Bring at least 4 people if you plan to order them, or be ready to take leftovers home. read more

Cute hole-in-the-wall place nestled in where i probably have driven past many times and never noticed. We went for dinner after suggested by a friend and im glad he did. We had a great time and some good food. The cubanaut was excellent and the canned wine i had was surprisingly good bc i did not expect canned wine to be good ! Looking forward to returning and trying their grilled cheese! read more

Wouldn't know how the food or drinks were sat down for 10 minutes was absolutely ignored by the staff and then we left. And no one seemed to care that we left. read more

The ambience of a neighborhood bar and quick service with some really flavorful, unique, and homie grilled cheese. Made a great evening.

Spacebar is a slightly nerdy dive bar and I love it. Grilled cheese any way you like it, loaded tater tots and beer....what more could you want? The space is a little small, but they maximize seating at both tables and the bar. It is a seat yourself kind of place. My husband and I grabbed the last available booth and found food and beverage menus already placed at the table. We ordered a couple beers and loaded tater tots with mojo spiced pulled pork. I enjoyed the tropical sour ale called Bel Air, by Brooklyn. My husband enjoyed the Alesmith Speedway imperial coffee stout. I'm not usually all about imperial stouts, but that one was tasty. We also ordered a #2 regular grilled cheese with pulled bbq and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both were delicous. The vibe is very casual and the staff were friendly. They have fairly diverse food and beer options. I'd definitely come back. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Spacebar has been on my radar for ages and I'm so glad I went. Very chill and unassuming atmosphere, big selection of beers on tap, and friendly staff. But best of all is the food, mostly indulgent sandwiches and piles of tots. And all of it can be made vegetarian or vegan! The space-o fundito was incredible, as was the plant based meatball sandwich. A great spot. read more

5 Stars. Spacebar has its own vibe...like outerspace!! I've heard about this place for years and heard about the grilled cheese, beer and tater tots. We decided to check it out!! This place is unique, one of a kind and cozy vibes. Plenty of beer varieties on tap and canned from hoppy, sours, cider, malty and lighter options. I checked out the menu and order a hard cider and the Cuban grilled sandwich. I knew things were going great when the Chef said...this is my favorite to make! Hot damn!! The sandwich was so yummy. I wanted to eat it all, but I decided to take half home...I'll eat the other half for lunch, lol. The menu is pure comfort food. Staff was super welcoming and friendly. What took it to the next level, the Chef took a lot of pride in making the meal. That was so cool. This is why people come back to places!!! Highly recommend because it's chill, relaxed, and they play nice music. read more

Grilled Cheese t a higher level and enough beer varieties to keep you guessing. Good spirit and solid service. Fun stop just wish as all of us that prices could come down but the market is controlled and out of our hands. read more

There isn't a ton of seating so if you prefer to sit get there early but it is a bar so only 21+ patrons. There's so many options of grilled cheese there that anyone especially the picky eaters can find something delicious to eat. I'd 1000% come back when I'm in the falls church area! read more

Nice bar with a decent selection of alcohol and grilled cheese. It's a little pricey for my liking, but still a decent place to splurge. The bartenders were friendly. It's pretty small inside, so go with a small party. read more

Beers are very good! They have great selection with periodic rotations. The vibe is sort of like those old good college pub days. The sandwich(probably because I were always hungry) is surprisingly good, and tater tots are dangerously delicious with drinks. Could be quite crowded on weekends or in summer days. read more

BRING A SWEATER! (Just in case the cold AC is too much for you) We dined in at Spacebar on a late Saturday night. Even with the late arrival, the staff was attentive and friendly from the moment we entered to greeting us goodbye at the end of our meal. We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich and jalapeño tater tots (I believe they were called Totchos # 2) and OMG, I can't say enough about how tasty both of those were. They served it freshly made and hot. If I lived in the area, I'd go more often. The inside has a nice "spacey" look to live up to its name. read more

What a cool place in Falls Church. I went here after Black Friday shopping as a way to decompress from the stressful shopping. The minute you walk in, you're greeted with the sound of emo rock, at least what I've heard of when I walked in. There was Spaceballs playing on the TV; I'm sure it adds to the nostalgia factor. I had the grilled cheese #2 that consisted of Harvati and Gouda cheese along with Tater Tots. I really like that you can see the cooks preparing your food as you admire the ambience. I don't remember the beer I drank but it was pretty good, though I don't think I remember the taste. Both the grilled cheese and the tots were so good, I wish I ordered more. Great value for good food and many beers to try out. This place gets packed easily and I'd even say that parking here is limited. Keep that in mind if you do decide to pay a visit. read more

Very fun vibe with delicious bar food, great selection with beer and wine! Service is always the best and speedy! Great music too!

Falls Church (and NoVa in general) needs more dive bars. Spacebar and its sister bar in Arlington, Galaxy Hut, fill that niche. Spacebar is a small space that could probably stand to be three times bigger. A rotating list of drafts and cans keeps things fresh with fun new selections. Neither bar serves liquor, would be fun to add some cocktails but I'm sure there's some strange Virginia bylaw preventing it. The breadth of the selection of beers, wines, and ciders more than makes up for this, though. Food menu consists mainly of grilled cheeses and tots. Unlike Galaxy Hut, Spacebar is not vegan, but they still provide plenty of vegan and veggie options. The plant-based meatball sandwich at Galaxy Hut is still one my favorite, but the grilled cheese I had here was very tasty. Decor is fun and lightly space themed. TVs behind the bar play old DVDs - my wife and I once watched all of Men in Black while sitting at the bar by reading the subtitles. My only complaints: tough parking sitch, and for some reason, both Spacebar and Galaxy Hut are always a bit toasty inside. Crank up the AC and bribe some of the random businesses next door to share parking and I'd be here every week. read more

Interesting vibe. Best bar in Falls Church, VA.... probably. The food is mid in my opinion. Some tader tots and some drinks you cant really go wrong. Most of their food is VERY oily in my opinion, but if your drinking that might not matter to you. Overall for the vibe I would probably go back. read more

Nothing to say but the nicest things. Best vibe, delish food, and best employees. The guys that work here are genuinely nice and we always love coming here for beer, tots, and sandwiches. Music and movies also add to the positive atmosphere! read more

The best tots I have ever had. So crispy, airy and not dense. And the basket is HUGE! Can share with 3-4 people. The Choripapa had some veggies for a good crunch balance and Granny Smith had tart apple to round out the saltiness. Limited seating, not good for a large group. The bar seating is the best imo; the bartenders are great read more

Still the same classic, Spacebar. Music is always too loud, there's classic DVD movies playing in the back, the Md. pac man machine was replaced by a pinball machine, but the vegan fare - like my vegan chicken pesto sandwich - was delicious. Tatchos are always super crispy and made to your topping specs. Seat yourself, order at the bar, have a good time! read more

Well I don't live here-- traveller and hotel was across the street -- thought the place was cool from other Yelpers- so would gave it a shot. Place doesn't disappoint -- craft beers, killer tots -- sandwiches that rock-- eclectic music -- nice vibe. Get the Thanks 4 Livin' Turkey sandwich-- awesome! read more

Relaxed cool vibes to include the staff. Seems like a nice bar bar styled place with tables and booths. Seems that a nice spot to hangout, talk (in a little loud) and get a beer or two and they have a little open cooking station out in the front end area. It is chill vibes for sure!!! I got a to go order but it was cool to see people actually talking, smiling and having a good time! It is different from places that I would normally go but a nice experience nonetheless. I deducted a star because I am not a big fan of nostalgia, which is what I got from this place :-) read more

Small but mighty! 7 tables and bar seating. 22 beers I tap today. Who doesn't love a good grilled cheese and beer, said no one ever. Choose from a list or create your own. The tots are amazing-I liked mine dipped in ranch. They have vegan options if you choose. The staff (a great group of guys). They were funny and helpful with suggestions. Sorry no food pics. I was too excited because it all looked amazing. read more

This rating is for the niche this place falls into- cool local dive bar! A really nice list of local draft beers and cool sandwiches. I thought the tater tots were simple yet fantastic! The Reuben I had was delicious as well. I can see how nice this place would be if I was within walking distance. Hey, it's been around for a decade so it's making some people happy! Not ideal parking but plenty with short walk. One TV playing like 70's or 80's space like movie?! So don't come here to catch the game some booth and counter seating with only one table to seat more than 4. Counter order and deliver to table. Menu ain't gonna change! Fun experience! read more

We were looking for a place to get a quick bite and enjoy some beers with a friend that was in town. After hearing about Spacebar we decided to give it a go. This place has a casual and fun vibe with a great staff to match. We ordered quite a few beers and my personal favorite was the Orange Cream Wit. We ordered the tatchos as a starter and loved how customizable they were. You can put just about anything on top of them. I also ordered the Reuben and my husband ordered the steak & cheese. Both of us agreed they were the best sammies we have had in a while! Towards the end of our dinner at Spacebar the incredibly kind cook asked if we had ordered two sandwiches he was holding. We told him no and there had apparently been a mistake in the kitchen. Without hesitation he put them in boxes for us to take home. We got to have Spacebar again for lunch the next day! You'll love this spot, give it a try! read more

I've always drove by this place hoping to go but it's been always been so busy (pre-pandemic). I've heard great things about their food and fortunately it's pretty easy to get takeout. We ordered the choripapa melt, a vegan chicken bbq sandwich, and brunchos with beyond sausage. Pickup and parking were super easy (small lot so it's hard to find a spot if it's busy). All I had to do was call the number and a friendly dude got my order right on time. This was a lot of food, it felt like a baby was in the bag. The brunchos were a must have. Their tots are perfectly golden and crispy (even on the next day from the fridge). The crispy cheese, avocado, sausage, and fried egg really just made it crazy. I would get this every time I come back (I'm absolutely coming back). The choripapa was hefty and super buttery. The bread was perfectly buttered and toasted and was loaded with chorizo and avocado. The recommendation to add the avocado and pickled red onions really gave it a nice texture and tang. I wish I didn't add the extra tots, not that I didn't like them but there was so much next to the brunchos as well. If I'm looking to just put myself in a food coma, I'm coming straight here. Helps that there are a bunch of veggie/vegan options. Also I'm trying to come back when everything is back to normal, I can see the food really helping sober people up. read more

Disclaimer: i've got a sound sensitivity thing that makes my brain hurt around environments with lots of sound. And. This place is Loud. I had to type my order down on my phone to shove in someone's face because I physically could not raise my voice above a volume where my server could hear me. I was looking for a quick place to treat a friend to a late snack as gratitude for driving me around that day. Spacebar had been on my radar because of the cool name, and the fact that Yelp had cool pictures of the place. The food is wonderful! my friend and I were so pleasantly surprised by how good the meatloaf sandwich was. (Do you SEE how much CHEESE we pulled?!) Plus, the cheesy tots were CRUNCHY and tasted fun with ketchup. we managed to get through half of them in that one sitting, but I eventually took the next four days to really run them through my air fryer. Tastes good with spicy mayo and sriracha. read more

4.5 Best pork I've ever had in a Cuban sandwich. Sandwiches were very good. Tots could use a bit more seasoning. Funky vibes and 21+ only. Will be back. read more

Relaxed welcoming vibe. Kind of like your local dive bar minus the smell of beer soaked floors. The scent of this place when you walked in is more like a greasy spoon diner with a chill but warm vibe. There's 26 beers on tap and they are perfectly chilled and bubbly. We tried 6 different beers and ended up choosing 2 to drink. The loaded tots were loaded, crispy and delicious. The server made great suggestions for us to try. My only disappointment was their breads. The sourdough was not sourdough at all. With all of the great ingredient choices and exceptional selection of plant based protein options I guess you can't have everything. The bread was highly disappointing. We had a rendition of a Cuban with plant based protein and plant based bacon was was sensational! May be one of my top 5 favorite sandwich combos now. This place is clean, friendly and offers many options to wet your whistle and satisfy your need for yummy noms. They had lots of booths and bar seating. Not sure how easily it would accommodate a large group sitting together. They had a large number of seats. Just may not be very easy to seat a group of 10 together. Loved the service, hot and delicious food over all. Oh. And the tomato soup reminded me of spaghetti sauce and not tomato soup. Many pluses to Space Bar. Will definitely be heading back again soon! read more

Love this place, but the quality has definitely gone down in the last 7 years or so when we were regulars. My husband & I went for the first time in a while the other night and left a tad disappointed. The beers are still amazing (though they were out of the one I wanted), but the food? Meh. Apparently, they no longer offer eggs for the grilled cheese so I couldn't get my usual order. We ordered the totchos...which just ended up being an $8 basket of tots with hardened cheese on them (seriously, it was so hard it stuck to the paper underneath the tots and would not come off no matter how hard you tried). I'll definitely be back, but food needs work and for goodness sake BRING BACK THE EGGS! read more

Spacebar is the best place to get your grilled cheese and beer fix! Came for dinner on a Thursday evening and it wasn't too packed. There's a few sit down booths and tons of seating around the bar. Menu for sandwiches and beer is extensive. You order at the bar and food comes out pretty quickly! Tachos with Bacon and Jalapeños: Per bartenders recommendation, we asked for bacon and jalapeños on top of our tachos. The portion size was huge! Cheese was more of shredded cheese, but there was a lot of it. This was pretty good the day of, but my stomach wasn't feeling good the morning after. #21 - Turkey, pesto, sundries tomatoes, cheese: THIS WAS SO GOOD! The sun dried tomatoes added great flavor. There was also just enough pesto and cheese. Overall, Spacebar is a great place for late night eats or a cheesy dinner. Amazing beer selection with beers from all over VA. Will definitely come back to try the other sandwiches. read more

Summary- Damn Hipsters. Okay let's get the hard stuff out of the way...this is a damn hipster bar. They might as well call it Hipster Bar. They have delicious sandwiches but they ruin it by being all about "we are cool with our beards and microbrew beer". YOU SELL GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH NO TOMATO SOUP!! Wtf??? Oh and they only do web orders on their website which they have a limited menu now. I called and the only thing the guy who answered the phone was able to say is- order online. You guys aren't even on Uber Eats. Since they are using the pandemic time to do some renovations, they eliminated inside seating. First off- huge mistake. When you have a friggin parking lot in a place with parking on the street around the damn corner! Clare and Dons made it work-what's the matter Cassidy or Clementine or Zoey didn't want to spend the money on some tenting for your customers!!!!???? Secondly- limited online menu, they eliminated half of the good stuff they USED to offer. Yeah Dan or Billy or Greg or Apple we get it, your beard and tattoos make you a on conformist and your 90s punk era jackets woth flare make you edgy. Whooooaaaaaa. STFU. I was in the mood for a grilled ham and cheese with spicy honey mustard. Gone. They don't serve tomato soup or anything other then that. Damn hipsters Hey HIPSTERS! You need to get your/their/they/them life together. Otherwise when they are open, they are pretty cool place to have a beer and a sandwich while watching some edgy movie on their Netflix account at a comfy bar with a unique selection of beer. read more

I live so close to here but have never been because it always looks so dark inside. We finally came to grab some food to take back and now have my favorite grilled cheese restaurant. We ordered the Cuban and Andromeda and both were unreliably tasty. I never got the grilled cheese faze but I do now. Both sandwiches tasted like a sinfully perfect sandwich and i honestly don't have a favorite out of the two. I also highly recommend the totchos. While it can be kinda pricey after you load it up with everything you may want, it's totally worth it. The portion is huge but most importantly, they taste amazing as well and were crunchy until the last bite! read more
