Hey I'm heading to Arlington/Ballston, Virginia this weekend to visit some friends. Let me know what the go to spots (restaurants, bars or bottleshops) are in the area. Also if anyone wanted to set-up an IP trade let me know. Gots are here: http://beeradvocate.com/user/beers?ba=claspada&view=G
You might have beer luck posting this in the Mid Atlantic forum. Hit up Rustico for sure as that'll be close by. Skip World of Beer. Or even better hop on the metro and walk a bit to Churchkey.
It is just expensive with busy non beer centric atmosphere. I tried it out for the first time a few days ago and have a lot of complaints from the beer aspect. If I were going to spend that kind of money on beer I would go to Rustico, not to mention better food and selection.
What complaints do you have? Just curious because I bartend there part-time, as in once a week, for fun and everyone seems pleased when I'm working. The food isn't Rustico-quality, but then again we wouldn't have any except ABC is awesome and requires it in VA. It's the only WoB with food.
