This Rosslyn beer garden operates in partnership with Continental Modern Pool Lounge, an area institution. All draft beer at this outdoor space, open Tuesday through Saturday, can be ordered by the pitcher, and its daily happy hour (4 p.n. to 7 p.m.) takes $2 off glasses of wine and pints (or cans) of beer.

According to the Courthaus Social website, the beer garden is “currently the most spacious outdoor patio in Arlington.” And while we’re not taking out any measuring sticks, it’s safe to say this patio definitely has plenty of space — and drink options. The rotating tap list has two dozen beers. Cocktails include frozen margaritas, an orange blossom Old Fashioned, and Maker’s Mark mules.

For more than a decade, this market was known throughout the area for its “Wall of Beer,” where customers could browse from hundreds of cans of local and exotic brews. In 2009 it opened its outdoor beer garden, where customers can sip from a rotating selection of beers on tap, munch on bar classics, and listen to live music.

This 22,000-square-foot outdoor venue officially opened in 2019, replacing a used car dealership. The comprehensive space includes rotating food trucks, a tiki bar, tented sandlots, a rooftop lounge, and more. Customers can choose from a variety of wine, cocktails, canned beer, and pitchers.

Bronson leans into the German pub theme with soft pretzels, schnitzel, sausages, and a solid mix of imported brews and NoVa beers. There are also quirky pizzas like an al pastor option with braised pork and pineapple. A pet-friendly patio offers plenty of seats for drinkers and their dogs.

For people in search of a romantic atmosphere — or who just want to unwind with a bottle outside — Grand Cru features plenty of outdoor tables and an extensive list of wines and wine flights.

This new all-day cafe right by the Crystal City Metro stop stocks plenty of local beer, cider, and seltzer. There are close to 20 wines offered by the glass or the bottle, and a tight list of cocktails includes a mule that’s made with London dry gin and St. Germaine. Happy hour runs Wednesday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with $5 beers, $6 sangria, and other specials for food and drinks. — Gabe Hiatt

This Shirlington restaurant with a sibling spot in Loudoun County puts an emphasis on local sourcing with a rustic, cabin vibe and plenty of game on the menu (think braised rabbit and venison loin). In addition to a wide selection of whiskey and beer, Copperwood offers $1 “Oyster Hours” Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
