It took a while to get a drink, and not the best stage setup, but I had fun!
Didn't eat, so can't comment.
Good parking, not far from downtown. I will be back to try the Sunday buffet, it sounds great. The outdoor seating area looks nice, when it warms up some that will be good.
All in all, it's well worth a try.

This place was a surprise to us. It doesn't seem like much from the outside, but don't be fooled. The inside has a good size dining area and a really great bar area with outside seating for warmer weather. It's a cool ambiance. The food was delicious! The service was great. Would highly recommend.
The jambalaya pasta is very good (see below photo). But the crab cakes here are not that great.
We were traveling through the area and we discovered this local restaurant and bar. It has been serving the locals since 1963. Great atmosphere, lots of areas to choose from. An old wooden bar, wood dividers, outdoor seating, tables in different areas and a room for receptions or parties.
The drinks were served promptly and the menu was extensive. The French dip sandwich was huge and the half pound hamburger was good.

The City Tavern in Old town Manassas Virginia is a hidden gem! We started coming here last summer and can’t stop! The foods here are true high-quality gourmet dishes. You can’t go wrong with anything you order.
The atmosphere here it’s very warm, cozy and welcoming. Different places to sit if you wanted to be close to the live music or sit a bit further away. Friendly staff:) We’ve become regular patrons! We just finished out special Valentines dinner! 😉

Very nice atmosphere, and it was quiet pleasant in decor! Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. I feel she went above and beyond for us.
Alas, the food was, well, okay. Now, this could just be me, but most of my food was just sort of....lacking in seasoning sadly. Some salt went a long way at least. The mozzarella sticks tasted a bit burnt as well, though the cheese inside was nice.
Got to also taste the cheeseburger soup they had though and honestly it was the best part of the meal. I'd go back just for that soup, ha.
Overall, I'd be willing to go back and maybe try something else on the menu.

Environment was pretty good. At a minimum, the crowd was very friendly.
Our server was pretty good but not great. She was very friendly though. Had to keep looking for her.
Food was also so-so. I'm not sure why a French dip doesn't have a massive amount of dripping cheese, a hard roll, and a larger ramekin for dipping. See my review for The Cove in Pennsylvania and you'll understand.
The beer selection was respectable, and better than most, but they were out of the bells two-hearted. Environment was great this particular night because my brother-in-law was playing music up there. My father-in-law loved the single malt scotch selection.

I had the black bean veggie burger. It was excellent. Very flavorful. The black bean patty itself was quite savory. I also love that the burger comes with guacamole. So good! It doesn't come with cheese, you have to ask for them to put cheese on and that costs an additional dollar. The French fries were pretty good.
The one thing I really didn't like was there were a few fruit flies hovering around our table and our food. This was annoying and gross. This is why I'm not giving the full five stars.
The service was good. Our server was very friendly, polite and helpful. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere is nice. It was pretty quiet when we went there. It was around 4pm on a Saturday. We got a booth.
Parking is great. There is a spacious parking lot.
