I can't tell you how excited my family was that we might get to go and have some beers and good food in a clean establishment that doesn't suffocate you with smoke...until my we went there and paid over 11 dollars for 2 beers and 40 dollars for 2 bad dinner entrees. It's a sports bar and restuarant for godsake!! Who wants to worry about how much your spending each time you order beer hwile trying to enjoy a game! Please lower the prices and at least make them comparable to the other establishments in the area. It's not that "special" of a place. The name is a joke, just like the prices at V5.

What is up with that? I love beer and love socializing but i don't love paying 6 bucks for a beer! Perhaps V5 can get one or two kegs of Natural Light or Milwaukee's Best for me and charge a reasonable amount like 3 dollars a beer? Please. I used to love that shit in college! As far as pricing goes, a 12 pack of beast costs about 6 bucks today. mmm beer. I can get one beer for 6 bucks at V5 or pickup a 12 pack at Bloom for the same price. Perhaps i can pick up a a 12 pack and take it to V5 and sell each can for 4 bucks. I see a pot of gold a the end of this rainbow. Go beer!

We couldn't have been happier with the turnout. I have opened several bars in the area over the years and there are always going to be hiccups you have to weed out and get over over time. You guys out there are some pretty serious wine drinkers which is probably why on that certain night re isling was 86'ed it would be nice if i could run over to bloom and restock but the commonwealth deems that unlawful unfortunately. Wings are 1/2 along with all of our appetizers 5-7pm and all night (for wings) Fridays I would post our happy hour drinks but again, the commonwealth slaps me for that too. In regards to prices on drinks..if you feel anything is too high (and no we are not going to have $2 beers like FCT) please email via our website and it will be addressed, as it has with the price of our sambuca and a few others. The coolers left by FCT have always been an issue as told to me by most of the old cheers crew, freezing our glasses, bursting our champagne, it took one cooler a whole 24 hours to turn the coors light mountains blue!!! we are working this thing out, please be patient, we didn't move your cheese. =) Let me start off by thanking everyone that flocked in for our opening last week.

FCT had a great crowd, some wackos, sure, but better that than the homogeneous/corporate/fern bar/milk toast/BS crowd over in Falls Church and every other chain bar around. Real people, real problems, real friendship, real cops (sometimes!) - and affordability. I hope V5 knows most of the Lowes Island/"Great Falls" Plaza crowd are in foreclosure, or soon to be - I wish anyone well with a new biz venture, but we'll just have to see how it goes.

Anyone who puts others down is a complete loser and has serious issues. Degenerates? How about AHOLE!!!

V5 is very nice, but I've seen FCT just as crowded and the regulars were spending alot more money. As much as You hate the thought, all of them will be back, and will be the ones that keep the doors open at V5. That Guy, It sounds like You are a bitter and lonely idiot.

I went to FCT fairly often and met a lot of nice people there - people who enjoyed having fun and listening and dancing to great music or bands. Good, clean fun. Are you just angry because you used to work there and had a bad experience with the customers or people YOU dealt with? I think it is extremely rude of you to categorize and label good people as "Douchebags" - doesn't exactly make you any better, now does it? Maybe you can enroll yourself in a self confidence course over at NOVA - sounds like you desperately need it. I hope you and V5 will be very happy together.
