🍻 Best of Bars Series #4: Astro Beer Hall! 🎉
Keep the Best of Bars series going strong with a night at Astro Beer Hall in Arlington’s Shirlington Village — a big, lively beer hall with tons of space to meet people, hang out, and have fun. This two‑level spot has a laid‑back yet energetic vibe perfect for socializing with other meetup members. You’ll find plenty of craft beer on draft, creative cocktails, and full‑bar favorites to sip while you dive into conversation or just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. 🍺🍹 
🍔 Food, Games & Vibes: Astro pairs its drinks with crowd‑pleasing bar fare — think fried chicken, smashburgers, loaded tots, fried pickles, nachos, chicken waffles, and more — so you can snack as you chat. 🌭🍗 The big indoor‑outdoor space also has tournament pool tables, darts, and arcade games to break the ice and spark laughs, plus a large patio that’s great for groups. 🎯🎮 
🤝 Meet New People: Whether you’re coming solo or with a friend, this meetup is all about connecting with others, making new friends, and sharing laughs in a welcoming, casual setting. Everyone’s here to have a good time — so grab a drink, join a game, or just jump into a great conversation.
🅿️ Parking & Transit: Street parking and nearby lots in Shirlington Village make driving easy 🚗. If you’re taking transit, the closest Metro is a short rideshare or bus away since there’s no direct Metro stop — but it’s still totally convenient for a fun night out! 🚇
Come for the drinks, stay for the connections, and let’s keep this Best of Bars series packed with good times and great people! 🍻✨
