Lost Dog Cafe - Dunn Loring

Large setup of three ’main’ rooms - restaurant, bottle shop and bar. We opted for the bar which had a typical American Sports Bar vibe complete with large TV screens at every angle. Safe tap list, and surprisingly with a strong presence from Founders in particular. Pizza and sandwiches feature heavy on the food menu. Can browse the bottle shop when leaving.

Large parking garage around the corner makes that part of your job easy. The place itself is a bit of an odd setup. You enter the bottleshop area. The small restaurant is on your right, and a large square bar is on your left. Tap list was decent and included one PA cask beer. Service was quick and attentive. Nice enough place.

Visited around the first few months of their opening. Haven’t sat at the bar, only the dining area. Looked like the bar area can be opened up when weather is nice. Decent draft selection with local and regional U.S. offerings, a couple uncommon picks here and there. Bottles/cans available for take away in the entrance. Pizzas and sandwiches are solid, nice variety for everyone. Not the best pizza but a step above the big chains. Free parking on the street and in the garage, but could be scarce around peak times. Not too far of a walk from Dunn Loring Metro.

This is the fourth location for Lost Dog that opened a few months ago, about two blocks from the Dunn Loring Metro.

About the same as the other Lost Dog Cafe location I’ve gone to. Layout is really strange - narrow side, small bar area. Pretty cozy looking I suppose. Fries could have a little work done on them - but my meal was adequate and as tasty as I expected.

In terms of beer selection, it looks pretty decent. I would probably shy away from the larger bottles, as they’re pretty expensive (though most bars have their overpriced Stone 22ozs at $20+, so join the club I guess). Tap selection seems diverse enough. Nothing too out of the ordinary on normal days I would expect, but a few regional brews might just be enough.
