Vintage 50: A Leesburg Destination for Craft Brews and Pub Grub

July 24, 2015 by

Boasting an on-site brewery and a full-time brewmaster on staff, it comes as no surprise that Vintage 50 is a premier Leesburg destination for specialty craft beers and pub grub. V50’s dine-in menu is a collaborative effort between the chef and brew master, designed to complement the range of beers being served. For a more casual atmosphere, diners may choose to sit at the bar or in the brew lounge and munch on snacks like pretzel twists with sausage pate and beer cheese or V50’s signature beer-poached wings. The elegantly appointed dining room is available for a more formal dining experience, where you may enjoy entrees such as a beer-brined pork porterhouse or a classic New York strip steak.

Original V50 brews are crafted seasonally and drafts change weekly, keeping the interests of local beer connoisseurs piqued. A sampler flight of four of V50’s beers is available or, if volume trumps variety for you, refillable growlers may be purchased and taken to go.

Döner Bistro: European Cuisine in Leesburg

June 5, 2015 by

Bringing a little-known delicacy from Germany and finding a home for it in Virginia, Döner Bistro offers traditional fare in a lovely beer-garden setting. “Döner,” which means “turning meat,” is a reflection of German’s changing culture. In the 70s, a Turkish immigrant took the popular meat and stuffed it into a flatbread with salad and sauce, creating a fast-food sensation perfect for a modern lifestyle. The owners of Döner Bistro wanted to bring this delicious food to the US. And you’ll be glad they did! Try the tasty gyros paired with pommes or imported German pretzels, and chase it with a cold beer. The outdoor beer garden is gorgeous and sets the scene for live music every Saturday and first Fridays of the month. The laid-back atmosphere means you’ll be comfortable to sit for hours.
