I don't know why it took our family so long to visit Hawk & Griffin, but now that we have…read moreexperienced the jovial atmosphere and great food, I know that we will be back soon! My husband is a die-had Arsenal fan and was overjoyed by the chaotic bar scene he encountered as soon as he entered. The City + Arsenal game had the entire bar packed with fans from both sides pulling up random seats wherever there was a free space. We came a bit late into the game but found a seat in a quieter area of the restaurant that still had good television access. With the dreary rain outside, it felt like we had settled right in a proper British pub! Food wise: - For my husband: Wings were generous, grilled, and delicious with interesting flavors - For me: Fish and chips were light, flakey, and came with some of the best house cut fries I've ever had. - For the kiddos: Although they had a kids menu, my daughters decided to split some pancakes (basically crepes with raspberries and cream sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Portions are more than generous and the managers were bustling around, talking shop, and thanking everyone who walked through their door. We will definitely be back!

Great bar to watch some sports and hangout. They have a good group for football on Sundays and…read moresaturdays. They can turn any TV to a sport you want to watch as long as it's on direct TV. I came here to watch the ATP tennis finals and it was no issue to watch the match. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, especially since he was the only one working the day I came. They do not have a kitchen any more but there is a Vietnamese restaurant, pizza place, French restaurant and a few other spots right by the bar and you can bring in food.

I've heard of this place and when in the area recently, I bought many Pastys to bring home and…read moreenjoy later on. The place is really just carry-out, they have fresh made, hot pastys to go, which they can sell, as well as frozen pastys to bring home. They also have a large selection of snacks directly from England. Service was helpful, the guy working the counter was descriptive and helped me with how the various pastys were made. Also, when walking in the amazing smells of all the workers in the back making food smelled incredible! I opted for some of nearly all their offerings of pastys. A couple of days later I made the chicken masala for lunch. I used their directions for baking, not the microwaving to get it ready to eat. They were spot on and the pasty came our perfectly warmed up and ready to eat. The crust was outstanding! None of it was dry or tastless, the whole thing was flaky, perfect, buttery, and tasty! The filling was very nice, though it had no flavors that resembled Indian or "masala" to me, so I'm not sure what they consider masala, but that's not a bad thing as the filling tasted great! I'm looking forward to making and eating all the rest, I'm sure they'll be great too!

I love British food. With that said, I was super underwhelmed by their pasties. I ordered the beef,…read morechicken masala, lamb, chicken cordon bleu and sausage rolls. Beef: normally this would be my favorite back in the day but here... Absolutely no flavor. Quite surprised but I would not order again. Chicken Masala: decent flavor, probably my favorite out of all the oasties I got here. Moroccan lamb: decent flavor also. Chicken cordon bleu: not sure If I got a bad one but yea, hard pass. Sausage rolls: decent flavor. Price point is ok as the oasties were quite filled. It's just that a lot of them just didn't have that taste that I gotta come back for more taste. It was just.... Eh.

It wasn't super busy at the time but that was kinda perfect since we were a pretty large group. The bartenders/servers were awesome - shout out to Bella, Kim, and Marshall! We were 10 drunk women loudly singing and dancing the whole night and they never made us feel unwelcome or like we were an inconvenience at all. Plus they made some GOOD drinks - try the white gummy bears or the rum punch ;) And the food was great too. We didn't eat much but what we did eat was great. 10/10 would recommend this place. We've already discussed coming back again!

The talent was OK but it makes for a nice local neighborhood nite out with good food, cold drinks and entertainment. If you're feeling some Irish Pub fare you have many choices - Braised Beef Boxty, Guiness Beef Pie, Cottage Pie etc. They also have $10 Burger nite on Mondays...which can't be beat with inflation these days. On the lighter side, I really enjoyed the Blackened Salmon salad. It's packed with oranges and dried cherries which adds a nice bit of freshness/sweetness and the salmon is juicy and not dry like many other restaurants. Very pleased with the food and neighborhood feel of The Brogue. Added plus- numerous outdoor dining tables in the front and back so an excellent option for the coming warm weather. It is definitely back on our roster of local GF restaurants.

Not only was the food excellent, but the price was incredible.

A local spot within Rockville Town Center. It's a nice gathering place to hang out with friends and…read moreto grab small bites or something to eat but it's not a place I would go out of my way for. Since we sat outside we had to go inside to place our order and then a server or someone that worked there would deliver our food. If it was a drink then they would make the drink on the spot. I think it was a bit confusing because when you sit down at a table outside you'd assume maybe someone would notice but that isn't the case. I think that's just something people should ahead on time. It may be the same case inside where you have tables to sit down at but no server to take your order, ect. Otherwise I didn't get much here other than fries and Guinness on Draft so I can at least review something food related.. Fries, crispy, there is a crunch in every bite, topped with parmesan cheese and parsley, it is pretty good for something to snack on. The Guinness on Draft is surprisingly extremely smooth and was very enjoyable; I would get it again! My friends got the poutine and I'd say after sampling it, it's great. Fries with cheese curds topped with gravy. Savory, Delicious, and filling. I'll most likely pay a 2nd visit! That Guinness is calling me!

Finnagan's Wake is a local spot in the middle of Rockville Town Square. So many of the businesses…read morein Town Square are chains so it is really cool to have a locally owned business hold its own among the big businesses. I would have had a better experience if there were more vegan friendly options and better service. The only thing on the menu I could find that was vegan were french fries. I wish they had a vegan sandwich option. They do have a decent amount of vegetarian options, but they could not be made vegan. I ordered their french fries and was impressed with the portion size. Additionally, the french fries were well seasoned and the right amount of crispy with a soft center. This, however, is not a meal and I really wish I could have enjoyed something more substantial. The service was so slow and that would be my main reason for not wanting to come back. It was really fun seeing how many people the employees knew by name. The bar was bustling with business. I love that this restaurant is well attended by regulars and locals. But it took way too long for me to get a second drink and the bill.

Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

My first time visiting O'Brien's since McMahon's occupied the space…read more It was a Sunday evening - we sat at one of their bars in a room with most of the lights turned down. Over in the corner a group of musicians were gathered around a table performing traditional Irish tunes. Very much enjoyed that. I ordered their fish and chips. Overall, pretty tasty.
