Astro Beer Hall

"Yeah! It is finally open! It is very crowded tonight for their Grand Opening’ The place is packed! The beer is flowing and good is hot! The outside patio is open and the weather is perfect for a fall day! The place looks to be a great addition to Shirlington Vilkage! I plan on coming back after this rush! Everyone here seems to be having a great time! I am back! Not near as crowded. The service at the bar could use some help honestly. Plenty of TVs to check out. The bar is too big for the number of people working to keep up. They asked for a cc on file to order food. Not a good sign! I was paying cash. They lose a star for that! The drink I had was was very good. I tried the chicken BLT, with fries. They literally brought it out and dropped it in front of me without providing silverware or a napkin. No condiments offered either. The water I asked for was served in a plastic cup, I don’t do plastic. They have long way to go before I would recommend this place. If you only want some beer, snacks and to watch a game it may be ok. The food and service need a lot of improvement. There are too many better places on this block."

"Had a good visit to this restaurant. It’s a great place for watching sports. There was also trivia happening. The food was good. The drinks were even better. Our waiter was magnificent. We had a great time!"

"My wife and I have been waiting for the shirlington location to open up for quite some time now. The staff is great and the food has gotten better each visit. We have visited the Arlington location about 5x. We usually go for lunch, I would highly recommend the fried pickles and the chicken sliders!!! The fresh cookies never ever disappoint!"

"Gosh I really wanted to love this place. We have been waiting so long….we came opening weekend and it was great. Service was on it! We came back today, Friday afternoon, and not the same experience. The service was not great. My husband was without a beer for 15 or more mins before he asked for another one. We ordered the “loaded” nachos and were disappointed by the outcome (in fairness this picture is after we have eaten some of them). The guac, sour cream and salsa on the side is odd. We had no utensils so we were forced to dip. The extra fried chicken we paid $4.50 for was minimal (not worth the extra $) and did not come with all the advertised ingredients. Will try again but hopefully they figure it out soon!"

"This place was okay. Service was very slow. They did not have enough people behind bar. Food took forever. Appetizers were cold. Food overpriced. Salad was not good. Best part was chicken sandwich. It was very busy, but we did not have a great experience. Maybe they will get better as time goes on. For the prices they charge, there are no excuses."
