Rock Bottom Brewery - Shirlington

Great to go to for a sporting event, as long as you're surrounded by people cheering for your team and your team isn't losing. Otherwise, you're going to buy a lot more beer and still not be happy. Start with the sampler if you don't already have a favorite. It's a good way to figure out what you like, and what you don't like. And for around $9 for something like seven 4 oz cups, you can't really lose. Rock Bottom also has their own seasonal brews, and in the fall made a really nice pumpkin. The only thing to be weary of is that if you go with 4 people, and 3 of them order the sampler, you might get some weird looks from patrons because of the 20 empty glasses surrounding you. They have a tower of appetizers sampler, which is great for sharing among a bunch of indecisive people. Skip the nachos, they're not that good. The pizza is excellent.
