First of all, some housekeeping. There are two places here - the Starr Hill Brewpub, which you are reading about. That is indoors and air conditioned. There is also the Starr Hill Biergarten on the rooftop. The Biergarten has a more limited menu, but has live music and stuff. But we won't talk about that because this isn't a Google Page of that and I wasn't there. I was indoors.
The Starr Hill Brewpub has a good selection of pub food and beer. I don't drink alcohol, but several people in the group I was with did and liked the beer. I got the Southwest Chicken Sandwich with fries and it was good. A bit of a small sandwich but very filling. The salads are huge, enough for a meal, unless of course you just get a side salad. Burgers are giant and apparently juicy.
It was quiet here at 12:30 PM on a Saturday afternoon, we had enough space for our large group of 11, but anything more than that except maybe 12 would have been a problem.
The staff here were very friendly and helpful. We were a large group but they worked with us and were patient. But the whole "ladies" first take all the ladies orders first in our large group seemed a bit weird. What is this, the 1950s? We all thought it was weird, even the women. And we're a wide range of ages too, from people in their 30s to people in their 70s.
But anyway good food, good beer (supposedly), good staff, and it's got A/C in the summer.
You park in the garage next door, it's two hour parking, just be sure to take your ticket. Or if there's a baseball game at the nearby field, you can park there for $5 (in addition to the cost of the game tickets), watch a baseball game, then walk over here afterwards and you won't get towed. That's...

Hi have eaten here twice and both meals were delicious and above par quality. The barbeque sliders have a delicious (not spicy or too sweet) sauce. The big pretzel comes with both mustard and cheese to dip. The turkey club sandwich is large with layers of Turkey some thinly sliced red onion and a creative and delicious cranberry mayonaise. I enjoyed their drink specialties and there is a very long tab of beers to choose from. The bartenders are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a stop here before or after a show right next door at Capital One Hall. I will enjoy coming back again...
Read moreWe really enjoy this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful.They have good live bands many nights of the week which we really enjoy. Good drafts, which they rotate. The food is good for a brewpub with a rotating menu of weekly specials. After 10, they have a late night menu. Usually you have to order from the bar. There is a parking lot, but not sure the price as we always come by Metro, McLean stop is 2 blocks away. This is now our...
