Noticed the place rarely has a crowd these days as I drive through beautiful Merrifield. Stopped in 2 fridays ago to watch the Celtics play on the tv. and they had karaoke going, ain't that kind of a bad sign to have that kind of stuff on a friday night? not much of crowd at that. last went in last fall to watch Favre lots of waitresses and some fine looking bartendressess but seemed like no waitresses and mainly dude bartenders now. oh did have some dude you tip to use the bathroom. i hate that kind of crap. must have worked previously at bridges. Ain't this Velocity Five the original. business they intially had gravitate back to Grevey's. Neglect by the owners as they opened new Velocity 5's. Merrifield is a dump?

Yep, they are constantly being named as a defendant in civil actions for not paying their bills. And yes, it is a DUMP.

Have been there a few times - always busy when I'm there, the inside is great, nice atmosphere -- not sure where you all have been - but its not that bad at all.

Yeah I agree with the first poster. I started going to V5 when it first opened and it was pretty tight back then, like about two years ago. But now it is empty every time I go there. The shopping center sucks, it's trashy. And the place has an overall cheeseness that ive noticed over the past few years.

I just moved to the area from Boston and I like going out drinking trying to meet some people. I've been to Sweet Water, Four Provinces, and Grevey's. I watched the Bruins a few times at Grevey's. Had a good time there and the food was tastier then I expected. Fairfax City and Washington D.C. are too far for me to have a few drinks and drive; so i want to stick to places nearby. Never been to Velocity V but I pass it often. Guess im gonna skip it. I dont want to pay to use the bathroom.

I have no complaints at all about V5. It is a great place to watch a game and the food is not bad. I enjoy sitting at the bar. If you haven't been there, don't hesitate about going. It's very nice inside and clean.

It doesn't help that Merrifield is a disaster with construction right now. Once that is finished, although it might be awhile, V5 will be in a great spot. I think that is what the owner is anticipating.

There is a lot of good development planned for that corner.

Muddyfield construction will be going on for years. Doubt an near empty V5 could hold out that long. And most of the tv's are too small to watch ballgames on. No better than what most folks probably have at home these days. if its a singles bar still seems like a small crowd. what happened to the beautiful blonde bartendress moved on to some place with better business?

its probably all of the fucking illegals constantly hanging out in the parking lot that is scaring away business.

Or it could be the beer prices that are about what you'd expect to pay in downtown D.C. I have to laugh at that every time I go there, they're charging drink prices like they're some hip club right next door to the Verizon Center, and they're in dumpy strip mall in Fairfax next to a dollar store and an Asian market. No way that's going to fly. If I'm going to pay $5 for a beer, why wouldn't I go to Greveys where there are a lot more TVs & outside seating, or to Sweetwater for a fresh microbrew? At best, this is a second coming of Bridges, and the times that I've been to V5 it looked like about the same crowd - and that is not a compliment.
