    Always check the board for chef's creations and new beer. But especially the chef's creation. But especially for the new beer.

    Great place to try a variety of excellent beers and pub food! Grilled cheese and tots are my go-to but I love the meatloaf and salads too. You owe it to yourself to go here if you like craft beers!

    Delish grilled cheeses! They have their own menu & you can create your own. I got the pear cider - amazing. Dimly lit, packed. Awesome local place

    Full of twenty and early thirty something hipsters with a nice mix of nerdsters thrown in. Don't expect to get a table unless you arrive before 6 or after 9 on the weekend, but it is worth the wait.

    The hippest bar in Falls Church, this newest contribution from the creators of Galaxy Hut is serving up Grilled Cheese Sandwiches that are worth the drive. Impressive beer menu and buttery grilling.

    Sample their always changing selection of beers, many local, along with a creative grilled cheese sandwich; definitely don't pass on the tater tots though!

    Fun grilled cheese selection. The bread is run of the mill so opt for a sandwich that is topping heavy.

    Don't worry about choosing one of the dozens of beers on tap - you can get 3-4 different sample sizes and decide what'll carry you through the night

    Bright idea: if you get the daiya non-dairy cheese, make sure it is melted completely. There is a radical difference when it is only partially melted.

    The Tots were great- and the grilled cheeses are to die for. Also a great selection of beers, in particular the Kentucky Bourbon.

    Come mid-week for a late dinner to get a table. Get a grilled cheese with bacon, apples, roasted red peppers or mix of two cheeses.

    Best grilled cheese. I mean, you can't go wrong at a bar that sells pretty much only beer and cheese.

    Useless bartender with short red head. I literally waited for 30 mins, so I can order my dinner and the bar was practically empty. She was too busy flirting...I think
