Solace Brewing Company

Reviews

This is hands down our favorite brewery in Northern Virginia! The beer list is very IPA heavy and best in class in the region imo. The menu isn’t exactly rotating but there are some changes every month. For non IPA drinkers, there’s a few good lager, Pilsner and sour options available too. The food is usually great, with the spicy chicken tenders in Nashville sauce, burgers, and bowls being great options although vegetarian options are limited unfortunately. But what makes this place truly remarkable is the absolutely best staff, always upbeat, helpful, engaging and just creating a very friendly atmosphere that some larger breweries in NoVa lack. In terms of ambience, this brewery doubles as an arcade with a lot of game options for fun with friends and family. It’s also fun to watch football or basketball games here on the large projector and TVs at the bar, but with no sound and no TVs in the regular sitting area so I wouldn’t target this specifically as a sports pub. Wednesdays are bingo nights, there’s live music on Fri/Sat depending on the week and Sundays offer discounted take-home beer purchases. Overall, this place always has a mix of regulars and new visitors, great beer, good food and great staff and is absolutely worth visiting.

The totchos were a revelation, the beer was fantastic, and the music slapped. Thank you, Solace & Felix Pickles ♡
