Avoid this dump at all cost. Went to their opening night and was greeted by the typical patrons that frequented Fast Eddies, the inside looked and smelled the same, and of course the bouncer at the front.


You would think on their opening night they would try to establish a clientele worthy of making their business succeed. First words out of the bouncers mouth, "IDs and $10 for cover."

WHAT THE HELL!? You want $10 for a dive bar in CENTREVILLE! As we turned and walked away he said “But we will only charge $5.00 if you like us on Facebook.”

How the hell can I like something I’ve never experienced…… If it’s the same as Fast Eddies then, ‘No’ I will not like your shit hole.

CENTREVILLE
14114 Lee Highway
Centreville, VA 20120
(703) 266-1888

Thanks for tip. That place will never change. It's always been a shithole.

They'd have to pay me $10 bucks to walk in that friggin' dumpster.

Now that I know you will not be there (since your to thrifty to pay $10) I'll give it a try .......

I'm guessing the OP probably got kicked out for being some druhnk asshole and now is pissed at the bar.

So this guy is complaining that the "clientele worthy of making
their business succeed" But HE can't pay $10 for a cover charge for the bar.

Are the drinks poured right? Is there a decent M/F ratio? Any diversions (darts, pool, trivia?) All I care about.

I'm one of those who can make friends from the Judge to the defendant, so humans don't bother me. I just want a good time.

A $10 cover charge for a random bar in Centerville is a little much. You came there to spend money, and unless a lot has changed, it's all men: it isn't a club. Was there a band? That would make more sense and may be worth paying for.

It's not cheap to decide not to pay for something you don't want. He said it looked the same and had the same people, so why would he pay $10 for it now?

I admit, devoting a thread to it lends credence to theories about op having an axe to grind, but his points are valid if true. I live in the area and I've seen some non-anonymous Facebook posts by people having the same issues. It was also mentioned they put off using the air conditioner as long as possible, which is just silly when it's almost 90 degrees outside.

I don't plan on visiting, but there is still a chance they grab the bull by the horns and succeed,we need a good bar around here.

Forget what I said. Sounds like a good time.

Not too obvious or anything.

What is the $10 for? Normally a cover charge is for live music or strippers or something

No shit....what is the $10 for???

Was this a weekend or a weeknight?

Centreville needs a bar that is decent to hang out in with out the white trash or other low class people from Prince William County that think Centreville is DC.

> WHAT THE HELL!? You want $10 for a dive bar in

$10 kept you away

mission accomplished !

Let me guess, have the Niggers and Spics taken that over as well?

Niggers ruin everything they touch.

I dont mind paying $10 I'd just like something in return besides being let thru the door.

Stabby you may be right about that. Op is the first 3 posts. And of course 10$ is crazy on a weeknight with no band. But hey, no charge on sexy naked man night!

Jently please, gently put down your crystal ball, it isn't working. OP is not the first 3 posts. I was Stinky Eddie and Dumpster Diver. I just chimed in because the place is lacking in so many ways, like most of the establishments in Centreville...soulless and boring.

Same thing happened to me, $10 for a bar in Centreville? Hell no. I took my business to Bungalows where they had a band, darts, and billards at no cover.

The fucker never went in but knew what type of people were in the place + how it smelled.

OP is lying.

Was just in that "shopping center" tonight and noticed about 15-20 bikers parked on the sidewalk directly in front of the building and hanging out on the outdoor patio there. Plus, they are too cheap to put up an actual sign on the building?? A vinyl sign flapping in the wind probably won't cut it...

Funny I went there all week for their opening activities and there was no door charge. They do ask for ID but I expect they would do that to ensure that minors are not entering after a certain time.

The place did change and has a cleaner feel to it and new menu items are Grear. The is sounds more like a disgruntled employee posing as a customer maybe even manager.

Agreed. Bungalows is way better value and you can't beat $2 on Thursdays.

My problem is that place has always had fights or some type of parking lot rumbles. That in turn causes police to sit it the parking lots. It just creates a bad environment all together.

I had a great time their opening weekend. Metallica Tribute band Friday \m/, Country girls in daisy dukes Saturday :) , and Veterans Charity event Sunday with all you can eat crawfish.

Me and several friends entered each day, none were ever asked to pay a cover.

I know the past places used to have some good times (living here 10+ years), but seems to always get run into the ground allowing the riff-raff in. The waitresses were talking to us about how the new GM and owners are bringing in national acts the same way Jaxx used to be before it went all death metal and gangster rap night. This area needs it!

Even if my crystal ball isn't working, I agree. I keep seeing posts about it being the same staff and all, but I'll bet SOMEBODY got fired during the change off and holds it against the new owners.

The $10 cover charge thing was ridiculous, can anybody else confirm that this was not the case?

I was there on the opening Friday night, I didn't pay cover, I simply had to 'like' them on Facebook. They had a pretty kick-ass Metallica cover band, that I wouldn't have been mad if I did pay to get in. Hey, at least it's not some douche with a Mac pressing play and using digital turntables to mix music.

That being said, it does look pretty much the same in there. There also weren't a ton of people on Friday night. They may need to market it a bit better.

I hope it succeeds, Centreville could definitely use some live music.

Was there The past two Tuesdays and the place is packed with line dancers and girls in daisy dukes and boots!

I'll definitely be back!

Went to Fast Eddies a few years ago, where my bud got drunk and puked right outside of the main entrance. He had tacos that night, and the puke was so severe that rice was coming out of his nose. He blew his nose and more rice came out, it was awesome stuff.

You guys are talking about Centreville? Cause there is a new one in Fairfax too.

Still looks like the same sad shithole I've gone to for years, except it opens earlier (no happy hour until 3:00 pm though)... I guess I will still have to pregame in my marked county vehicle for a few drinks from my thermos/vodka decanter before I go in.

Revolution Bar? Do they have the Gadsden Flag hanging by any chance? Is it covered in blood? Is their beef one hundred percent no federal grazing fees paid?

No, but their cheese is supplemented by the taxpayers and if they vote Democrat in the fall I will make sure they aren't audited by the IRS

I used to love the Shark Club dance nights when all of the Al-Quieda recruits would show up for their weekly status meeting.

that place is deader now than it was before the change in ownership they got rid of the off track betting they seem to have run off a lot of the regulars. not sure about the food but it would be hard for it to be worse that the food at fast eddies.

Sadly, same shitty place just a temp face lift. And that is being nice. Also have been hearing that they employ a number of illegals. Really wish some decent bars would open in Cville. At least a bar you don't have to worry about dousing yourself in antibac after walking out.

See I'm not the only one

Man i wish i would have read this before i went last night in Fairfax' the bartender will turn the music down if its something he doesn't like and i had an expensive bill with bad drinks and bad service' they will never get another dime out of me, I walked out telling them i will never come to this shit hole again

That all changed once they built the outdoor patio at Backyard Bar and Grill. These days, that's where all the riffraff go and where the fights occur, especially now that Sully's is gone. Regardless though, Bungalows and Backyard Grill are both better than Fast Eddie's Cville.

I miss the Shark Club! They were the only ones at that location to get it right. Too bad they got shut down due to prostitution. I went to Revolutions opening Friday night, it felt like the ac wasn't on. That alone made me unable to stay...took off and hit Redrocks.

Pretty accurate. The last couple of times I've been in Backyard the crowd was kinda low life. Looked like some left over patrons from other bars. Cops certainly do like to sit in the parking lot at Backyard. I stopped going to Backyard because who wants to go to a bar with cops in the parking lot.

FCPD has an officer that is stationed out there Friday and Saturday nights. He is sometimes there on week nights. If he's not bad enough, you've got the half a dozen officers who cruise the area looking for potential DUIs. They love the
7-11 across the street. There are some good people that frequent the place, bartenders are great, lots of specials. Unfortunatly, it's gained a reputation for fights. Earlier in the year, a guy walked in a shot off a gun. So yeah, the cops will be sittin' out there.

Covers are there to keep niggers out, you dumb cracker.

The Sully District Station will often post plain clothed officers at the aforementioned establishments PLUS they have informants who will call you in if you've had more than 3 drinks without food. These informants are usually former FCPD or Fire retirees who prefer to keep the bars to themselves and claim to combat DUIs and DIPs.

Are there lots and lots of hot guys there? Not that I'm strictly "in the market" right now, but I think oodles of good-looking fellas just simply make things much more enjoyable. Don't you think so? Or don't you?

It must really suck when a plain clothes cop in the bar starts licking his chops after my 3rd beer and then Uber picks me up at the end of the night.

What a waste of a good plain clothes cops. Sit in a restaurant and look for people having more than 3 beers. Undercovers would be better used penetrating MS-13 and Pagen gangs in the county.

That made me laugh so hard haha!


Exactly what cops do, they are like scavengers going after the low hanging fruits. Trying to arrest some hard-working people for enjoying beer after their long day at the office... Makes me sick.

I'm glad I went to college, ensured that I could never be a cop!

Long, long time ago that place was Richard McKay's Used Book Store.
