March has shown up acting like it’s in charge.

Cold one minute, sunny the next.

Cute.

Well, we’ll be in the pub doing what we do best.

Pouring pints, serving pies, and turning a “quick stop” into a full-blown evening. Consider this your friendly warning.

(And invitation.)

Fixtures, food, and pub mischief included.

St. Patrick's Day?!?!

Yes, we are open starting at 4PM!!

We are opening at 4PM on a Tuesday just for you!

Come celebrate with Corned Beef & Cabbage, a proper Irish Stew, and pints flowing like we suddenly found religion.

And because St. Patrick's Day deserves more than a playlist, we'll have live Irish folk music in the pub.

Featuring the Loudoun Irish Players!

Proper tunes, proper craic, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you order another round without even meaning to.

On The Table

Sausage, White Bean, & Fennel Pie

(Affectionately calling it the Cumberland Cassoulet)

Everything you want and more. Our Hawk & Griffin bangers, white beans & a hint of fennel, cooked in a rich duck-fat and white wine gravy. And of course, tucked inside our golden flaky pastry crust, baked till properly bubbling and glorious.

Comfort food with a lot of swagger.

(So good it should come with a warning.)

Speaking of pies...

We're bribing you to have a better Thursday.

From 11AM to 6PM: grab any pie and your 16oz pint is free.

Consider it community service.

Denizens

In our on-going crusade to support cask beer, we popped out to Denizens Brewing recently to show a bit of love, bring along our kit, and (very bravely) sample a few cracking beers.

We know we mention them a lot, but honestly.

They are one of a kind.

If you ever find yourself out in Riverdale Park, Maryland, do yourself a favour and give them a visit.

Guinness

We also made a cheeky little visit to the Perfect Pint Competition over at the Ireland's Four Courts for some good fun, and a great chance to stretch our legs.

While we didn't take home the trophy this time, it was brilliant to network, pinch a few good ideas, and start plotting an event of our own right here in Vienna, VA.

Are we going to be hosting a full-on Perfect Pint showdown? Probably not.

(We're aiming for "lively" not "absolute carnage")

But we will be bringing the Diageo Reps from Guinness, and yes, the Ripple Machine.

If you haven't seen one before, it's exactly as ridiculous as it sounds: it can print anything you want on the top of your Guinness. Logos, photos, your mate's face... you call.

Is it silly? Is it brilliant? Yes. 

March 13th is the date with a 7PM start time!

Therapy is great, but so is a pint. Start with the pint.

Come and drink it down with us.

Premier League

Premier League at The Hawk & Griffin is exactly how it should be: loud, lively, and just the right side of chaotic. Whether you’re top of the table, circling the drain, or only here because your mate promised you “one quick pint,” you’ll find your people.

All clubs welcome, all banter welcome. Bring your scarf, your hot takes, and your best dramatic reaction to VAR.

(We’ll handle the screens, and the matchday atmosphere.)
