    Loaded fries
    James L.

    This past summer, I found myself visiting the Tysons Biergarten a few times. Once because I had a training session in the area and stopped in to wait out traffic, and on a couple of other occasions I made the painful trek down Route 7 because I have friends who work at one of the many nearby consulting firms, and they seem to like this place. However, you wanna know what Tysons Biergarten really is? It is an attempt to recapture the nostalgia and youth of being your 20's, all while trying to escape the soul crushing reality of being an office drone in the corporate dystopia that is Tyson's Corner. Tysons Biergarten tries so hard to remind people that even if you have to wear an off the rack drab suit, that you can still be cool and hip by hanging out and drinking beer on picnic tables, all while using plastic tokens to pay for drinks - since using cash or credit cards is so early 2000's. There are plenty of other reviews explaining how the token system works, but I am in the majority of reviewers who think it's dumb and gimmicky. The only thing more abhorrent, is the food ordering system...followed closely by the cuisine itself. There seems to be a belief that people only want to interact with kiosks and tablets for services, since talking to a live human to order food is a concept again...from the early 2000's. So walk into the kitchen and then place your order on the tablet hanging on the wall, and wait for the food. Look, I've been to Austria and Switzerland so I have a pretty good idea of what Bavarian cuisine associated with Biergarten's should taste like. The food here, is an insult and not an homage to true European biergartens. The TBG loaded fries are advertised as "fresh fries topped with two different cheese, onions, scallions, and special sauce." Well these fries might be "freshly" defrosted out of a freezer since they were extremely soggy and the special sauce tasted like diluted thousand island. The various sausage platters I've tried aren't terrible, but also nothing special. If you have to order some food, I'd recommend either the jalapeno cheddarwurst or the Kielbasa. Both of these sausages have a familiar flavor to most people, and can be dressed up with some mustard on the side. When I was last here in late August since it was god-awful hot in DC this summer, I was sitting there around 6pm strategically camped under an umbrella for shade, and I watched as legions of folks were walking around with their lanyards from places like CVENT, KPMG, and Booz Allen, just to name a few. I get it. Everyone wants the nice six-figure salary associated with being a H.P.C. (aka Highly Paid Consultant) but not the hours or "golden handcuffs" that accompany that line of work. So in that regard, I give Tysons Biergarten a star for at least TRYING to provide some sort of respite to people after logging a long day at the office. Another star also because after flagging down a bartender at either the upper or downstairs (I recommend the downstairs) bar, the beer selection is actually decent, and at Happy Hour, the prices are really good for Tysons. BTW - forget about parking anywhere near the place. Follow the signs to the parking garage about a 3-5 minute walk away; just remember to bring your parking ticket so it can get validated on your way out.

    This place is not bad to have a drink and catch up with friends butttt if it's full or you want to watch a game, be prepared to hold your credit card and the bartender ignore you while time passes by. We went to watch a game and it wasn't too bad, nice summer night with not many people on a Thursday night. We sat at the table and the tv kept glitching so we had to move. We had order a beer and wings but the wings were more bones than meat. The fries were not bad and the beer was pretty good. Our second visit, the bar was full and you could barely order a drink. We went to the outside window thinking this would be easier but 10 minutes later no one helped us. This place needs better service as well as more bartenders. Music not bad at all except if you want to have a conversation, I suggest you don't sit next to dj booth as you will barely hear yourself.

    This is a huge Biergarten! Not only do they have plenty of patio space, and I mean plenty, but there are three levels inside as well. The main floor is the bar area with several beers on tap. The kitchen is also on this floor and they serve Biergarten food, sausage! There are a few different types to choose from as well as sides to go with it. They also offer some apps for snacking. The top floor has seating and TVs. I didn't venture downstairs but plan to do so next time I come. When you walk in, you go to the host stand to purchase tokens for the beer or food. The tokens are all the same price, about $9, but the beer pours are dependent on how strong the beer is. If it is strong you get a quarter liter pour, and less strong beer get half liter pours. Aside from German beers, there are some others that you could choose. From the ones I've tried they were pretty good. Supposedly they have an extensive bottle beer selection but I did not see nor try it. They also have liquor if for some reason you or someone in your party do not want beer (but that would be just silly!). I really can't wait to come here in warmer weather and have a nice cold one!

    We decided to try the Comedy show at this place wasn't funny at all, rude. Beer bar was good, we sat outside for a bit luckily they had warm propane lamps to keep us warm. I'll definitely will go back for beer and outside entertainment.

    A first visit to this place on a Friday night with a close friend of mine. It was totally packed by 6:00 PM! Parking was a total mess right near the restaurant/bar area. Had to drive around to a nearby garage, which frickin' cost $13 after 2 hours or so! Ridiculous! Besides that, you had to purchase tokens, which were like $8+ each and that was the only way to get Beer or Food items... We each tried a couple of different Beers, which were pretty good. The food menu items were alright, nothing too special. Got some sliders with fries and a pretzel. Didn't really like the sliders too much, since it was a bit undercooked and chewy. The pretzel was cold and stale, so don't know what happened there. The view outside was nice and liked the beer. But overall, it was a so-so kind of experience.

    This is definitely one of the cooler drinking spots in NOVA where you forget that you're surrounded by office buildings. My review is only for the beer since I haven't partaken in the food. There's a wide selection of German beers on tap and they're all the same price ($8). The payment system with chips is interesting, but apparently it's similar to what you do in Germany. You purchase your chips at the entrance (and have the option of adding tip if paying with credit card) and each color is for a different item and all cost $8. They also never expire so you can always come back with them! There's also mugs throughout the bar for cash tips as well. In addition to several tables with picnic style seating, there's also a few games such as Connect 4, cornhole, beer pong and big Jenga that you can play with your group. The parking situation isn't ideal since there's a shared lot with 20 or so spaces but there's also a garage about a 5 minute walk away with plentiful parking. Bring your ticket with you so it can be validated.

    Very nice chill bar. lots of room where you don't feel like you're on top of people until you get to the basement and want to dance. Large screen around to watch sports and picnic tables outside to sit and have a large group of friends. Will deff be back

    Tyson's Biergarten is located in a convenient location easily accessible by metro or car. I came on an afternoon with coworkers to grab a beer and some appetizers. Food wise, it's nothing spectacular but will quell your German beer food craving. I did appreciate that they have an efficient system where you order by iPad and get a text notification when your food is ready for pick up at the window. The beer is fine and they have a fair happy hour. There is PLENTY of outdoor seating, so this is an easy spot to meet with a large group as well.

    Bier bier bier!!! This place is probably the best beer garden in the area. Great craft beers, food and value. They have a token system $8 gives you 8 tokens to order food or drinks. You've got the kitchen and a bar upstairs. Downstairs is a large seating area with a lot of local beers to choose from. There's music outside playing. Plenty of seating for all group sizes. We even saw some folks have food catered for a birthday party. Food here is awesome and you have a lot of variety. Don't expect anything healthy though. We had the pretzel, bratwurst, fries and wings. Pretzel here is a must try. Wings are fairly large. Expect a +20 min wait for your finger food. Parking here can be really tight. Try parking at the garage and you can get it validated up to 2 hours. This is a great place to go after work or at night when the weathers nice

    First time at this Biergarten. A bit hidden away, but worth it. Located right off of Leesburg Pike, the parking lot right outside is very small, but they do validate for a parking garage right next door. This place runs off a "token system". Everything is $8 a token, which gets you food, beer, or wine. They have a pretty big menu from sharable appetizers, to sausage platters, which comes with two sides. Tried the Jalapeño sausage with pickles and fries. it was very tasty. Everyone who works here is very friendly and very willing to make sure you like your visit here. Beer is very good and HUGE glasses. Lots of outdoor seating, as well as inside. Be sure to stop by during the season!

    Can you bring in outside food?

    No, no restaurant in any of the 13 states I've lived in has ever allowed outside food. Especially in VA which requires 40% food sales if they sell alcohol.

    What time is their happy hour? And how much are their deals?

    Last time I remember they had some specials all day Wednesday and after 5 but I forgot to take pics ?

I will say the restaurant is elegant and beautiful, and the food was savory and sweet just amazing, but it is the staff who went above and beyond to make the high tea memorable. This is my third bridal shower. I have given at the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's corner, and I would go no other place. Let me start out by mentioning a few exceptional people. I started planning this in the beginning of the year and Sriram Hariharan is one of the most giving, caring and supportive person I know. He put me in touch with all the right resources. He would follow up to see how things are going. I would say his detail to customer service and experience is exceptional. Next is Rohit Ray who assisted every step of the way helping me with my attendee numbers , the set up design and more. He was there throughout the whole party. Rohit's kindness and grace that is unwavering. Finally, our server Astrid. She oversaw my last shower in January and I know we were in good hands when I saw her last Saturday. she is truly A+. She made sure the event went smoothly. Was proactive in helping us get things organized, and when one of the guests reported she was a vegetarian she made changes so her tea party food was vegetarian. The entire celebration was impeccable. I had 26 people attend and one person shared they've experienced three high teas in London and the experience at this party was the best one yet. After the party ended, I received so many calls telling me how elegant the party was, how exceptional the service was. And how wonderful all the food was. I will give honorable mention to Smail and the director of valet who helped us bring up the party favors and flowers and more. my heart is full. It was a magical experience we will continue to talk about.

Chicken crispy and juicy. Waffle fluffy. The lobster Benedict was a let down. Eggs were cooked nicely but the lobster bits were mushy. Overall the room was nice and the food was hit or miss.

Chef Jon Krinn's menus and his warm, personal touch with diners made the place special. After he left, Chef Tracy O'Grady admirably revived it with creative new menu concepts, and under Chef Danny Ahn the brand has now expanded to a Reston location. Through it all, bartender Victor has been a steady, caring presence -- even as service slowed and courses started taking a long time to arrive. After one visit where we waited 50 minutes for dessert, we stayed away for a while. We decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary. The new manager, Jeff Miller, and the rest of the staff greeted us warmly, but the dining room was nearly empty, and the air conditioning was set to meat-locker levels. Victor had the day off. Clarity is known for a daily-changing tasting menu, and we were looking forward to that night's advertised special -- giant tiger prawns, lobster and black truffle risotto, and venison. Instead, we were handed a menu with octopus, cod loin, and duck -- solid dishes, but standard fare you'll find at plenty of restaurants in the area, not the standout the website promised. We ordered from the regular menu instead. For appetizers, we each got the grilled Wellfleet and Old Salt oyster platter. For entrées, my spouse ordered the yellowfin tuna with tiger shrimp; I asked if I could get the Maryland soft-shell crabs as an entrée with two crabs instead of one. The waiter said no and suggested I add a sweet corn bisque to round out the meal. When he mentioned to the manager that we were unhappy, Jeff offered to plate two crab appetizers together for double the appetizer price. I happily agreed. The manager explained that website updates were no longer handled in-house, that the tasting menu posted online hadn't actually been available for months, that other guests had complained about the same thing, and that the takeout/pickup menu was also wrong -- to the point that he' had just contacted customers to tell them their online orders couldn't be fulfilled. Service was slow, and the waiter never told us which oysters were Wellfleet and which were Old Salt. To kitchen's credit, the portions were generous, properly cooked, and genuinely tasty. The dessert menu seemed uninspired, so I asked about a double shot of Angel's Envy rye instead. It had always been reasonably priced when Victor poured it -- generously, too. This time, I overheard the manager quote the waiter $56. A 750ml bottle (25 oz) currently retails at Virginia ABC for about $75, or $3/oz -- so $56 for a double shot works out to about $18.67 per ounce. I said that wasn't acceptable. At that point, the manager repeated, for the fourth time, that he was still on the phone trying to get the website fixed. I told him his reiterated efforts might help future diners, but it didn't help us that evening. He said Victor had trained him and that he was charging what Victor would charge -- I told him I didn't believe that, since Victor had always been fair and accommodating. I also said that as the manager overseeing service, he should be checking the website' daily for accuracy himself. He then offered to pay for my "cocktail" out of his own pocket. Before I could point out that a shot of whiskey isn't a cocktail, my spouse asked him to just leave us alone. We paid and left feeling genuinely sad to see a restaurant we loved fall this far.

    Giving 4 stars because the selection was good, staff was knowledgeable, and the actual wine and…read morecheese we had was quite nice. It's a little pricey relative to places like Verre wine bar in Courthouse or area Vineyards. I noticed they had the Valravn cab sauv and it was A $20 glass but I have seen it for several dollars less at Verre and elsewhere. However, these were really large pours. So it may be their philosophy to have someone order/pay once and get a lot then having to constantly go back for more. Which is great if you value simplicity but less so if you want variety. I also didn't see flight options, though maybe I missed them. All in all it came out to $83 for 2 glasses of red wine and a cheese plate with 5 cheeses. However they brought bread refills - not sure if it's just that the plate was priced for unlimited bread or if we were being charged for more bread each time and that is what increased the price. Service was a little lax. Again not a bad thing, depends on your preference. When we got their attention they were on it. It resulted in being completely unrushed and unpressured which I appreciate. But my friend was starving and under those conditions we would have liked someone to come take our food order sooner. Vibe is chill. I wouldn't say it's as sexy as others do. When we arrived the lights were fairly bright and then they turned them down and started putting out candles while we were there so that may have been it. That was around 7 or 8 if you are gaming this out for a date. We were the 6pm crowd so maybe they were intentionally going for a less sexy vibe for the benefit of the after work drinks with friends types. I don't recall music. Note also they seem to really focus on imported wines more so than local. I don't thibk there was any local VA wine on the menu. All in all, if you need a wine place in the area then it is totally worth stopping by, especially if you like the specific approach described above. Is it a wine bar I would go out of my way for given that there are a bunch in different neighborhoods around DC? Probably not unless I was specifically looking for this kind of imported wine menu or large pours. This is a no if you are specifically looking for flights or to otherwise try a bunch of different wines.

    A small slice of perfect…read more I hesitate to write this review, because I selfishly wish to keep this gem to myself - but that would be unfair to the business, so here we go. Located just off the bustle of King St., Brut sits unassumingly among the Old Town townhomes. You could easily walk past, and not notice it at all. But, if you've dialed in Brut as your destination, be prepared to step in to an oenophile's wet dream. The establishment is both a bottle shop and a wine bar. Every bottle in the joint is carefully curated. There is no junk...no fluff...no quid to subsidize quo...all excellence, from any country or region your heart may desire. Do your Christmas shopping here, for sure. That shopping is going to make you thirsty, so pony up to the small but well appointed bar. Its no easy thing to find a bar with a good "wine by the glass" list, but Brut manages that task with ease. From your sauvignon blancs, through the pinots, to full bodied reds...take a flight of fancy, and walk home well fortified. Since the bar is small, and seats are at a premium, the owner Dustin does a masterful job of weeding out the Riff-raff. Trust me when I say that watching it is far better than TV. I cannot recommend this cool little spot more highly. Maybe I'll see ya there sometime!
