FireFlies

No Longer In Business

Fun little restaurant in Alexandria famous for their "Bluegrass Brunch" where there is a live bluegrass band inside during brunch time. Gigantic menu, any kind of higher end diner food you can imagine. Awesome waffles and eggs benedict. Tap list is certainly craft beer focused, just nothing too interesting. Decent craft bottle selection. Only strange thing I saw was a couple of Kentucky beers on the list including a BA stout. Taps will be stuff like PBR, Shiner Bock, Fat Tire then some local things like Port City. In bottles expect Stone, Founders, Green Flash, Devils Backbone, Bluegrass.

FireFlies is located in the Del Ray neighborhood, a few blocks away from one of my friends places. We’ve traveled there at least twice. Food is pretty decent, beer selection isn’t Earth-shattering, but it’s good and diverse, with plenty of local offerings. Friends mention that closing time sometimes is a little different than what is posted, with requests to finish up whatever beers they’re drinking quite a while before it closed - not sure if that’s still happening since that was well over a year ago when this happened. Never experienced that firsthand. Patio should be nice on a warm Spring or Fall day.
