Check out the Forty Draft Lines at Quincy Hall

Quincy Hall at 4001 Fairfax Drive in Ballston is the kind of place that makes a weeknight feel like an occasion. The space itself sets the tone: 8,000 square feet of high ceilings, exposed metal beams, reclaimed wood accents, and communal tables that invite strangers into conversation — the architectural DNA of a German beer hall filtered through a distinctly American neighborhood bar sensibility. At the center of it all are 40 rotating draft lines showcasing local, craft, and rare beers that cycle through enough variety to give regulars a reason to check the tap list every visit.

The pizza program is a serious undertaking for a beer hall: the dough ferments for three full days under the direction of a globally respected pizza maker, resulting in pies with genuine structure and flavor complexity that hold up against the beer rather than simply serving as ballast. The event calendar is lively year-round — Monday and Tuesday trivia nights at 7 p.m., Saturday karaoke at 10 p.m., BOGO espresso martinis on Friday evenings, and Sunday bingo — making it a reliable anchor for any night of the week. The large patio is one of Ballston’s best warm-weather outdoor drinking destinations. Steps from the Ballston Metro station. Visit quincyhallbar.com for the current tap list and event calendar.
