Ambiance was pretty cool here with the various lawn games, umbrella tables/benches, dog park, activities etc. Decent selection of beer. Service was friendly but the food left something to be desired. Easy walk from the metro. Parking was different but it works with the shuttle. You have to think about how many places have zero parking at all so this is definitely better.

beautiful location, fun activities, great food, and amazing beer. Shuttle over to location was fast and convenient. The staff was so nice and energetic. recommend: Sour Red Ale and the Grapefruit beer.

Great experience!

GO and ENJOY the RARE opportunity to experience the growth of a new business!! Enjoyed the beer, did not try the food, loved the venue. Clearly a unique biz model. Even at this young stage (in next weeks opening another beer and food section) it is obvious this is going to be a haunt for those who are willing to put in the extra effort to enjoy a hidden gem that happens to be in the midst of the Tysons growth explosion. Ride a 45-sec shuttle (I timed it) to and from parking, or use the front entrance valet service (coming soon), or (gasp!) park and walk 5-minutes. AWESOME venue for families, dogs, groups, events…and it is getting better with every passing day. I get to say, “I remember being here when it was just starting.”4-stars just based on startup phase. Looking forward to changing it in a few weeks when they are ROCKING!!

Great food, drinks and views. This good looking fella served us deliciously creative Japanese inspired egg rolls, fries and hot dogs. Easy to order on the self checkout screen and they text you when it’s ready. RollBar kitchen is ???Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We went for the first time with two families. The kids played on the playground the entire time while the adults hung out, ate food and drank a few beers. It was a fantastic evening! Finally, there is a great restaurant, bar for families in Tyson Corners and McLean.The service and the food was excellent. We can't wait to go again.

A few friends and I attended their soft opening & had a lot of fun. Tried both of their fruit beers (Red delirium > scaldis peche mel). Pilsner & saisson were also popular picks among our group.Pros: games! Lots of yard games. There were big jenga sets everywhere. Can jam, corn hole, and 2 beer pong tables. There was plenty of seating both shaded & in the sun. Workers were very attentive & helpful/ service was 5/5. A bartender helped carry some waters out to our table & a gentleman even helped us open our table umbrella. There’s also FREE parking at a nearby lot & a free shuttle that ran to/ from the lot every 10-15 mins (otherwise a 5 min walk). The fenced in dog park was another perk we enjoyed. No need to bring your own toys or water bowls either.Cons: Because this was their soft opening, so not all of the food vendors were up yet. The only vendor that was up & running was the Biergarten. We ordered the pommes frittes ($8), potato pancakes ($4), and cold cucumber salad ($3) just to have something to munch on. These were listed as ‘sides’ and while the portions reflected so, the prices did not. We were kinda disappointed at both the quantity & quality of the snacks. Everything was only ‘meh’ to pretty good at best. Luckily, they were offering some free appetizers for sampling due to it being their soft opening. However, same can be said about those apps— most of it was ‘meh’ to just alright at best. I probably would’ve been equally disappointed if we had ordered apps.There’s definitely room for improvement, but I think it’s a great concept. I’m excited to revisit in the next month or so as the rest of the food vendors open up. Roll bar kitchen opens next weekend I believe. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of drink options they bring to the table (their IG posted a matcha IPA so fingers crossed). A board game cart would also be a great addition to the tented area. They have a bunch of velvet vintage couches in that area that would fit the vibe. Just a suggestion

Opening day (soft opening) and there were lots of positives and negatives involved. Overall, good beer, nice environment, and pretty good location. It is on a bit of a slope (the tables sloped downward in one area) so be careful. The service was slow, however, this was the first day they were open so that is to be expected. The food was marginal however it was free and again, first day jitters. I walked down the hill from the office, so didn't notice any parking area to leave your car if you were driving. It is close to the Metro stop, if that helps. It seemed to be fairly full and as a bonus, they are dog friendly!

This ‚biergarten‘ is an embarrassment to the name. The bartender served the wrong beer and had no idea of different beer types. The beer menu is very limited and honestly, boring. Parking is not available onsite, instead you have to take a shuttle bus. On the positive side, the view of the Tysons metro is great. Lots of room for improvement!
