Returned to Carpool today for the first time since COVID, and had a fantastic experience. Sat outside on the patio in the shade. They were nice enough to put the Nats game on for us outdoors. Rama was super pleasant and accommodating, and Teresa, our server, couldn't have been better! Service was prompt, friendly and masked. The beer selection was phenomenal as always, and we were really pleasantly surprised to hear they had discounted one of the beers 50% because it it didn't tap at the quality they were expecting. Now, that's the type of establishment I want to return to time and time again.
Great place for a beer and a big authentic smashed burger. About 30 draft beers, wine, cocktails and good prices and good music. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Menu says B1G1 apps, then they charge you full price anyway. Server says the managers are fully aware of it but refuse to fix it. Food was gross and I only accepted it because it was supposed to be half price. Price per person: $100+ Vegetarian offerings: Menu is all vegetarian

Carpool is such a fun spot. It has the charm of a dive bar but with a spacious interior filled with games like darts, pool, pinball, and skee-ball. The bartenders are fantastic, and the draft menu features an impressive selection of local beers. There’s also outdoor seating available. With plenty of TVs showing sports, Carpool is an excellent place to catch a game. It’s clear why so many locals make this bar their regular hangout—it's always a great time.
I generally do not do reviews after just one visit just like I don't fall in love after one night and some hand stuff but there is something about Carpool that's quite special and I I'll make an exception. Friends and I often visit Spider Kelly'sfor pool and a drink or two, but decided on Carpool last night because we wanted to avoid the crowd. It was definitely a gooddecision. For a bar that has pool, pinball machines and other attractions, this place was especially clam and quiet, which isalways a plus. Even though there is a jukebox, the volume was a manageable level to where we could have a conversation and stillhave fun with friends while enjoying some tunes. Perhaps the biggest difference between this place and Spider Kelly's is thatwhile both has a younger college crowd (GMU is close by), the ones going to Carpool do not appear to be frat boys and look likethey have a future after graduation rather than moving back into's mom's basement. The food was also delicious, and the drinkscheap and strong. I recommend the calamari. It was easily one of the best. I especially loved the bartenders who were very quickand friendly. If you're looking for a hole in the wall kind of place for a night out with friends, this is just it. I willdefinitely be back!
Carpool is a fantastic car-themed bar with reasonable prices and plenty of pool tables and other games for entertainment. Note that pool tables have an additional hourly fee.
I had an amazing experience at Carpool. The lively atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming to people of all ages and orientations. It’s a laid-back place featuring outdoor seating, games, pool tables, and a well-stocked bar. I’ll definitely be coming back!
