Eating & Drinking

We will be participating in a trivia night event at craft house located in Fairfax on Tuesday. Trivia starts at 7:30 pm. Parking: There is free parking. Please show up by 7:15 pm so that we organize accordingly. We may field multiple teams depending on turnout. Please plan on arriving and staying for the entire trivia event. To ensure you get a spot on a trivia team: * Please arrive by 7:15 PM, or notify the hosts that you are running late by 7:15 PM. If you arrive after 7:15 or don't notify the hosts, you are not guaranteed a spot on a trivia team and may need to form your own, separate team. * Please RSVP so we know to expect you. Don't be like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn from Wedding Crashers and crash a trivia event (i.e., don't show up without being on the attendee list). \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- If you have Instagram, you can check out our account at asiandiningandadventuregroup for photos and announcements of group outings!

Keep the good times rolling with our next hangout in the Best of Bars series at Kaldi’s Social House — a trendy day‑to‑night spot in Arlington that’s equal parts cozy café and lively social lounge. By day it’s known for great coffee and fresh eats, and by night it transforms into a relaxed cocktail bar with craft drinks, wine, beer, and creative cocktails that set the tone for a laid‑back night out.  🍽 Food & Drinks: Expect a fun mix of coffee favorites, brunch‑style bites, sandwiches, salads, and seasonal dishes that pair perfectly with drinks whether you’re easing into the evening or kicking things off. Their drink menu leans into both classic and inventive options, making this a vibe‑filled place to sample something new or stick with a favorite.  🤝 Meet & Mingle: This meetup is all about socializing, making new friends, and having great conversations — whether you’re flying solo or with friends. Kaldi’s welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to mingle, catch up with familiar faces, and enjoy a great crowd that’s here to have fun and connect. 🅿️ Parking & Transit: Street parking and nearby garages make driving here simple 🚗. If you’re taking transit, the Clarendon Metro (Orange/Silver Lines) is a short walk away 🚇 — perfect for a stress‑free night out. Come for the drinks, stay for the laughs, and let’s keep the Best of Bars series going strong with good people and even better vibes! 🍻✨

This cafe is in a church lobby, and it’s got lots of seating, parking. The staff is super friendly and I promised we would pay them a visit. I had a dirty matcha, but you can select from their relatively standard drink menu and add a breakfast sandwich if you like. (No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Join the rest of the Grove in creating your own 2026 bingo cards. Then in 2027 we can see who did the best! There will be glue and glitter\~\~ Also, the first drink is on me!
