Rooftop bar

Rooftop bar in downtown Leesburg. Great atmosphere, beautiful location. The drinks are stronger, fresher, and better than other bars in the area- definitely a premium selection. Since it is outside, it doesn't get loud. There is no traffic sound since it is on the roof. But you are subject to weather. They've added some umbrellas for shade and we've had some fantastic weekends for an outdoor bar lately. And it would defeat the purpose to be fully under is roof.

Look, this place is what it is. If the name "Downtown Saloon" and the dozen or so motorcycles and…read moreguys hanging out in their leathers outside don't clue you in as to what type of establishment this is... that's on you, my friend. If you're looking for craft cocktails and a list of beers a mile long to show off on your instagram, I have great news for you - there are a ton of places on and off King Street that can accommodate you. This is not one of them. This is bud light, salty-ass french fries (that are actually SO good), loud music, maybe a fight between two chicks over that scraggly looking guy with the patch on his vest (no, not that one, the one next to him with the tat on his neck), cigarette smoke in the air, bras hanging from the ceiling, is that your mom in the corner hammered and scream-singing Skynyrd?, the bartender is not trying to be your friend so quit acting put out because they're not chatting you up the quality of various strains of hops, and THE BEST KARAOKE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. And seriously... it is 100% the best karaoke ever. Rowdy, glorious, and worth the trip out on a Friday night. I read some of the other reviews on here, and the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I do agree with some of the other comments about some of the experiences people have had with other patrons. I've had to tell an old man off more than a few times for having a loose tongue, and while I've never personally seen anyone of color or members of our LGBTQ community being treated differently (in fact, there are several regulars who may fit one or many of those identities), I wont discount their experiences. Sometimes the crowd can definitely be rough around the edges. Sometimes that roughness is part of the charm of this place, but not if we're talking about people behaving in a racist or homophobic manner - if that happened to you, I'm sorry. That sucks. Again, I've never seen it and only had great experiences in a very welcoming and judge-free environment, but I'm also a white girl living in the suburbs, so what the hell do I know? At the end of the day, if dive bars and epic karaoke are your thing, this place may have helped to write the book on them. I'm a fan.

This place is very much an old timey saloon biker bar type vibes. It's one of the few places left…read morethat allows smoking inside which was surprising, a little dirty, not gonna lie, but AMAZING FOOD!! Nice lady bartender and it's a good spot to play pool. My husband and I loved it, we had some drinks, played pool, and shared some appetizers. Jalapeño poppers with ranch & wings with the "saloons way" sauce was amazing! Like a Mesquite BBQ flavor. We will definitely be back again.

This review is for the newly opened Lovettsville, VA, location…read more Lovettsville has a great new restaurant! The employees are friendly, gregarious and attentive. Service was really fast & this was only their 3rd day open. Their prices are more than reasonable in these times of stretched home budgets. Best of all, the food was quite good. My wife & I both wanted the Nutty Cat (the Twisted Cat version of a peanut butter, bacon cheeseburger). We were not disappointed at all. Great food, great service, wonderful location. Lovettsville hit the jackpot with Twisted Cat Tavern coming to our little town.

We came in for a quick meal and saw some good reviews. The staff was attentive and nice which was a…read moreplus. To start we ordered some Steak Tips, typically a safe choice. When they arrived they seemed oddly small for what you would expect, more so trimmings than "Steak Tips." For dinner I was between a couple of items, but I rushed myself to order the Steak and Cheese. When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.

There is no separate way to review for sidebar coffee, so this is for sidebar COFFEE!…read more The little hole in the wall has earned my trust in downtown leesburg. I was just looking for some good coffee one morning when I saw a little hole in the wall and realized it's a little coffee shop! I've gotten an iced coffee there, and a matcha the next two times. Both are great. The baristas are all really nice and will very likely be able to make you something if you wanna tweak an item on the menu a bit. And, most importantly, their matcha is the real deal. It's not the bitter and awful cheap stuff that most cafes will sell to you for the same price. This is the good stuff, and you can tell they make any syrup they add to it in house. It's so refreshing. If you love coffee, and especially matcha, this place is it!

Literally the worst service we have ever had…read more We had family in town and had never been here before. We were seated in the closed off dining area, to the right of the hostess desk. It took 10 mins for anyone to come see us. I had to get up to ask for someone to get our orders. To boot, the person who was supposed to assist us, was in the back hall by the restrooms texting and hanging out. I assume no one told her that we were there. The cider I ordered was warm, so I had to ask for a cup of ice at the bar. My husband's burger was meant to be medium well and it was raw. Lastly, it's extremely loud in that room. The chairs are metal, and when drug against the flooring, they make an awful sound! They really need a form of rubber on the legs. Very hard for grandma, who has hearing aids. Poor thing was so uncomfortable. The room next to us, with a door leading to the window to the kitchen, was so incredibly annoying. They were pounding the entire time we were seated, and it was LOUD! We all just sat completely silent. This was an incredibly disappointing visit and we will not come back.

Would not recommend this place unless you enjoy overpriced mediocre food in a very pretentious…read moreenvironment. Everything we ordered was either trying too hard and missed, or was poorly done. For example, we couldn't taste the oysters at all because they were filled with some kind of cream with a rhubarb sauce on top. A complete abuse of an oyster in my opinion. Oysters are a delicate flavor and the point of them is to taste (or enhance) their unique brine, not bury them in a sweet sauce over cream. The giant pork chop was overcooked. The fries were so overcooked you could barely bite into them (and insanely salty). It is also incredibly overpriced. I rarely comment on price (we eat at Michelin restaurants a few times a year), but this place is ridiculous. Basically Clyde's style of food for 3x the price (and Clyde's is better). The staff was nice, but they seriously need to drop some of the pretense. Like I don't need my table swept for crumbs several times throughout a meal when you don't even bother to provide a beverage napkin to mitigate condensation (on a bare wood table, no tablecloths). The servers won't even take dishes off the table. They find their little crumb sweeper minions to do that for them. I've eaten at fine dining all over the world. This place is just trying too hard to be something it's not. Oh, and you also get the perk of paying $15 to park in the lot behind the hotel. Because apparently spending $500 on dinner doesn't include parking. Ridiculous. AVOID. They need to figure something else out. Loudouners may have money, but we also have taste and don't like being swindled.

Celebrated our anniversary here and was mostly a good experience. First the positives. The food…read morewas tasty. I really liked my duck and my wife's short ribs were very good as well. We ended up sharing a side of brussel sprouts which ended up probably not necessary as portions were a good size. Service was good. I never went without water and had no complaints on the time it took to sit down/order and get our food. The only negatives I have were the drinks and the ambiance. First the cocktails were pretty expensive (is $17 the normal now? one was pushing $22) and beer selection was dismal (limited offering and my first choice was out). Second our table was really close to another table. I really dislike it was restaurants squeeze people in like sardines. I get it business wise, but it makes for a terrible experience when i'm basically sitting next to another table hearing them talk and eat. Plus the noise level was on the high side throughout the restaurant, not a huge deal but worth knowing.

Not entirely sure where to start with this review. The restaurant itself is well-decorated and…read moreconstructed. My visit happened not long after World Cup 2026 began. So, there was quite a lively and noisy scene happening. Stutters has TVs facing where I was sitting at the bar. I didn't know that they switched to drastically slashed menu. I am a vegetarian but, after so long, but I'm very good about finding something where I'm eating. Except here. The quality of service is really what I remember. The young bartender serving was quick to provide me with menus and water. She returned and took my drink order. Then nothing. She had moved to a couple of regularly who had just sat down at the bar. I ended up being rescued by a (maybe?) manager who brought my drink and took my food order. The menu was made up of solely appetizer. What I ate was good.
