This is a regular hang out for me. They always have something new on tap and have some of the best pizzas in the area. Food prices are pretty good, especially considering the quality of the ingredients used. They try to buy as much as they can from local farms and feature nitrate free meats. The beer selection is always morphing. Lots of seasonal variety, monthly cask ale parties, and a few hard to get beers. The beer prices can range from 4 or 5 bucks to well over 30. The deck is nice in good weather, the ac kicks butt when it is hot, and everyone there is super nice. If ever in Leesburg, give it a try.

Fireworks has a nice rotating selection of beers on tap and in bottles (and the occasional craft brewed can!). Wood fired pizzas are some of the best in the area. The only downside is the small capacity of the facility. Some of the bartenders know a good bit about beer and some seem to know little.

Located in downtown Leesburg, right next to Tuscarora Grill and, incidentally, under the same ownership. They specialize in wood-fired pizza, and the results are very good. Interesting combinations of ingredients (including some organic) on their specialty pizzas such as granny smith apples, lamb sausage, chorizo, and a variety of cheeses make them must-try’s. They are complimented by a small but by no means poor selection. About 8 taps and 40 bottles of American macros and (mostly Belgian) imports, ranging from DFH, Victory, Allagash, Southampton, Flying Dog, Stone, etc. On my last visit they had Saison Dupont on draft, and bottles of Delirium, Ommegang, LaChouffe, and Maredsous. The service is very friendly, if a little slow. Plain looking interior, with lot’s of pictures of train related stuff (it’s built on an old train depot), and they have an outdoor seating area. Highly recommended if you are in the Northern Virginia area.
