    I sat at a table for 20 minutes and no one spoke to me about food or drinks. I went to the charity and was rudely told to use the qr code on the table. Unbelievable there are no wait staff. I would say don't go there if you want to eat and enjoy a game since there's no one to help you. I've had their food before it is very good, too bad the service sucks. I will pass on this to the local hotels to not suggest you!

    We hosted a happy hour for our members and everything was beyond perfect! The entire team took such good care of our group--special appreciation to Aaron who managed our reservation! The food and drinks were fantastic--everyone was clamoring for more of the pretzels and beer cheese! Thank you all for such a great experience. The place was packed--I was glad we had a reservation!

    Stopped into Bronson Bierhall for my 40th Washington & Lee High School reunion and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The place has a great energy without being too loud—perfect for catching up with old friends and swapping stories over a cold beer. The location’s tough to beat, just a short walk from the Metro, and there’s plenty of space for small groups without feeling crowded. The German-style food hits the mark—pretzels, sausages, and sandwiches that actually taste like someone cared when they made them. The beer list is long enough to make you pause and appreciate your options, and the staff kept everything moving smoothly even with a packed house. If you’re looking for a lively place in Arlington to meet friends, grab solid food, and actually hear each other talk, Bronson Bierhall’s the spot.

    This place is awesome if you are looking for a place that can handle large groups. They have a self service ordering system with QR codes at the table and the food comes out direct to whatever table you order from. Beer and food were both great. We ordered a pretzel, beer cheese, and a rueben sandwich. All of it was delicious. Service was great!
