About this restaurant

Lively
Good for groups
Great for brunch

We’re a diverse team of makers — baristas, bartenders, chefs, mixologists, roasters, distillers, and brewers — who came together to create a neighborhood place we all need.
It’s a place that brings people together morning, noon, and night. A place with crazy delicious food and destination drinks. A place to grab a crave-worthy bite on the fly or to hang a while with a book and coffee. A place to brunch with your besties or happy hour with your work crew. A place to roll solo with your laptop or roll deep with your family and friends.
It’s a place for you. It’s a place for us. It’s a pub for the people.
LIVE MUSIC:
EVERY FRIDAY & SATURDAY 8-11PM

I was not happy with my steak and when I mentioned it to the wait staff they completely ignored the fact that I had barely eaten it. I was with clients and didn't want to make a fuss in front of them Poor service if I'm honest

We had a really lovely experience dining outside. While the food wasn't perfect, our waiter, Sheriff, was. He was very attentive, but not overly attentive, extremely personable and a lot of fun to talk to. We had beers and a mule cocktail ...the latter being very nice, albeit a bit expensive, as was the wine. Two of us ordered the flatiron steak...very nice, one ordered the salmon entree and one ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken, which was fine but nothing to write home about. We were sitting outside, but still found the music inside to be quite loud. It was a nice spot for friends from McLean and Ashburn to meet halfway, but Sheriff is the main reason for 5 stars rather than 4.

We dined early and when we sat down, there was no one else in the restaurant yet it took a while for someone to come and see if we wanted anything. It then took 14 minutes to get four adult beverages. Oddly, it only took 15 minutes to get our food once our order was placed. Our server was nice, but maybe couldn’t hear us when we asked to split the check and it was all put on my credit card. The fish and chips were inconsistently cooked. The fries were excellent. The fried chicken was overcooked and lacked flavor. The French dip was quite good. The flat iron steak was supposed to be meeting rare and was quite rare. Lastly, the wine is overpriced if ordered per glass. We understand the wine retail markup, but it was ridiculous. With the number of restaurants in Reston, I don’t see why we would return.

This is my 3rd time in a month. I really enjoyed the food here. The crab soup is delicious. I rated my first 2 visits 5 star because both food & service were excellent. This (3rd) time around, service was fair. Please brew your iced tea stronger to stand up to the summer heat. Had to send mine back because cannot taste tea. Keep up the excellent food quality!

Food was great- monkey bread was both an appetizer and dessert. Mediterranean salad was good, but chicken was a little over spiced. May try the impossible kebabs next time. Sat outside on a beautiful day - fun to people watch. 2 of us were only drinking water and instead of bringing tall glasses, we had to flag the waiter multiple times to have our water refilled. Still overall a great lunch spot.

Our waitress was incredibly accommodating, even with all of our requests. The food presented beautifully, though we found very little dessert on the menu. A pretty area to brunch

From the moment we walked in, it looked chaotic. People were standing by the little foyer where you check in and just waiting until they’re called so you can’t tell whether they already checked in or still waiting to be acknowledged by the greeter. It wasn’t very organized. Food was delicious. Very happy with the appetizers we ordered. Fish and chips were blah. Steak was good. Food came out hot and the drinks were cold. Our server, Leilani, was definitely nice and attentive. She didn’t keep coming back to keep asking how’s the food. One time and that was definitely a plus. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s prom season or that there was a festival that day that made it chaotic. Not sure.
