I had the worst experience there tonight. Â I went to celebrate my engagement, a friend's birthday and to see a band's show. Â They only let the band play three songs before the manager, Chris, threw them off stage. The reason was because the anonymous owner said they weren't allowed to 'rap' on stage. Â They only played songs from their album, which the GM, Rob, should have listened to before booking them. Â They don't curse, are talented musicians, and actually sing about worthwhile things and not just hoes. whips and money that most rap bands sing about. Â They are hip-hop, not rap...big difference. I wouldn't have visited this establishment if I knew that myself, my friends and the band would be treated this way. Â Save your money and go somewhere that you might actually get your money's worth and enjoy yourself.
Review Source:Huge pool hall and bar with plenty of activities besides just billiards. There's a bull riding machine, arcade games, live music, karaoke and country line dancing on select days. The service is usually pretty quick and the food is typical bar food. I would recommend the cuban sliders, they are sooo good. If you don't like being around people who smoke, I would avoid this place since you can smoke inside. Pretty empty on the weekdays unless there's a big game on. Extremely packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Make sure not to forget your ID because they always check if you're 21+ at night.
Review Source:Fast Eddies is tucked into a shopping mall off from Lee Highway. Â I have passed it several time and was skeptical as to whether it was decent or not. Â After family dinner my brother who had been there before wanted to meet a friend there so we headed over.
I am not sure if it was because the place is so big or maybe the little family owned Indian restaurant next door was poppin' but the lot was full and Fast Eddies was not. Â They do have a nice bar upstairs and a lot of TV's which is a plus. Â They seemed to be pretty well staffed and it didn't appear as if one overwhelmed person was running around trying to help everyone, but as I said it was not very busy. Â We got carded on the way in and went straight downstairs to the billiard area. Â The pool tables were actually pretty nice however I overheard a few people complaining about how they are charged by the minute. Â I can't say that is credible information because we did not play pool. Â There is a bar downstairs and what looked to be a DJ setting up.
The drinks.. Well there are rumors that the drinks are watered down and the glass of Jameson's my brother ordered definitely seemed to support the rumor, not good. However the beer.. If you are a beer drinker this is your spot. I had the Sam seasonal on tap, probably the cheapest I have ever paid for beer outside of my own living room. Â Very happy with that. Â
Based on the "lively crowd" (sarcasm) we did not stay long. Â Overall there was not something that I experienced to tell you guys not to go there and to call the place awful, but at the same time there was not any real highlights either. Â If I do go back for beer I will try the food and post another review..
ATTENTION: DO NOT GO HERE!!!
If I could give this place negative stars I would.
If you enjoy smelling like an ashtray, getting charged by the minute playing pool, drinking alcohol-less drinks, no customer service, paying a cover charge, and listening to a DJ that might be deaf then this is the place for you.
This is hands down the WORST restaurant/bar I have ever been to. We were immediately overwhelmed by older women hitting on douchebags; you know the type I'm talking about. Then we were told there were no pool tables available...While we were standing next to a clearly vacant table. The bartender didn't know how to make a sex on the beach and my vodka and cranberry tasted like cranberry with a splash of vodka, maybe. We were going to order food but a server never came to our table. After we waited about 10 minutes we said "screw it" and left which after reading these reviews about how horrible their food is I am very happy we made that decision.
In one word: No.
Typical pool hall, when it comes to playing pool there's nothing to complain about. Â Every friday there's a DJ that comes and tries to get the crowd moving and most of the time its successful. Â Don't go for the food -- you've got better places within walking distance. Â What else...the drinks, oh the drinks...they are decent. They could have a little bit more alcohol in them. Â 3 stars
Review Source:So as the nickname implies, I have taken a liking to country music since I've moved to VA from NJ. Â I went on Tuesday night because they have line dance lessons and I thought it would be a fun date for me and the lady.
I didn't go for the food so I can't be too critical of the placed based on the food, but they serve hamburgers on un-toasted regular white bread which I thought was weird for a restaurant. Â The grease soaked all the way through and while it was cooked well, it was missing something because there was no bun. Â The fries were good. Â The drink prices were phenomenal. Â
That, along with the fact that they have a few customers that even at first glance scream "I have an extensive criminal record," is probably why Fairfax County PD just hangs out in the parking lot.
The line dancing was fun. Â The instructors were welcoming and accommodating and overall we had a great time. Â Not sure if that's more representative of Fast Eddies or the line dancing school that they contract to come in.
They have pool tables, darts, and a mechanical bull. Â As far as the bar goes, If you're looking for a date spot its probably not the best, but if you're looking for a get rowdy with the boys type bar, not bad.
Well, I didn't have to pay because I'm a girl. Cool for me but kind of unfair. That tactic didn't seem to attract more girls anyway.
My friend and I went to try out the Saturday night "country night." The line dancing lessons were fun but not that many people were there. Apparently the Tuesday night country night is more popular.
We got there around 7:30 and got drink specials because football was still on.
Later in the evening there was a beer pong tourny in which we participated...and promptly lost. It was a little disorganized but it was fun all the same. I don't think I had ever played beer pong in a bar before.
Anyway, 2 instead of 3 stars because of the smoking!!! Is the bathroom the only non-smoking room? Didn't that ban take effect December 1st, 2009? Â I was unfortunately expecting it because I had read the Yelp reviews prior to going, and because of that I made sure to not wear a jacket, to not do much to my hair, and to not wear my nice jeans, because I'd have to wash everything right after anyway. That's pretty annoying.
Here's my straight and to the point review: Â DON'T GO HERE!!!
Let's start with the $5 cover for basically nothing. Â I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was Fast Eddie's Manhattan. Â
Next up, terrible karaoke in a smoke-filled cavernous room with zero acoustics. Â Think smoking chamber-of-death at the airport...
Maybe the worst part of the experience-waiting 15 minutes for a completely overwhelmed bartender to start pouring my draft beer into a plastic cup. Â I stopped her, switched to a bottle, paid, drank, and promptly left.
Sorry Fast Eddie's, I don't pay a cover  for the privilege of drinking out of plastic and I won't be back...
Alright, idk which part of town all the ppl giving this place bad reviews are from, but they need to suck it up. Â We really enjoyed this place. Â We sat at a table, ordered round after round of drinks, and the bartender kept em coming without us needing to alert her. Â VERY great. Â prices were nice, bathrooms were WAY nice. Â everyone was friendly and didnt even mind our drunk ass karaoke.
Review Source:How do I give negative stars? Can I? Please? Since I cannot let me convince you why you should NOT go to Fast Eddies in Centreville.
On a mission for a quick dinner before a movie this is what I discovered:
Number one. Those coupons in the giant yearly Entertainment Book, Yeah you know those? Avoid them. They are for idiots who don't realize that the business is offering coupons to frequent their establishment because it is Kitchen Nightmare's worthy.
Secondly. Do you like smelling like an ashtray? I for one take a shower and wear nice clothes before going out to dinner regardless of how nice the restaurant is. I do not want the newest scent of Cig De Parfume thank you very much. Even though the smoking ban is in full effect in the good ol' Commonwealth of Virginia the sneaky bastards at Fast Eddies have figured out to cheat the system. Imagine that? My fiance and I were overwhelmed by smoke wafting from the bar (straight into my hair it seems) just a few short minutes after ordering. I asked the waitress how they were allowed to smoke and she told me that they have a NON smoking room as required by the smoking ban. She pointed to a tiny  room which couldn't have been larger than 15 feet wide. This room, empty and locked up was their justification to making the REST of the entire shithole a giant smoke-a-palooza. Score: Fast Eddies- One, Health Department- Zero.
Thirdly. Is that a word? Well let's just make it TURDLY then. Cause that's what I thought about the food... when we actually got it. 5pm on a Wednesday night and it takes 30 minutes for some chicken tenders and a burger? Shame on you! The food was cold and disgusting. If I had known our evening out would have led me to this I would have taken my chances with the week old seafood in the fridge. Honestly I'm sure the end result would have been the same. Bring your Pepto Bismol if you decide to let their food pass your lips. You will thank me  later.
Lastly. Are you looking for entertainment? Well then maybe this IS your oasis! Getting the game or channel you seek will be a problem but never fear! You can cougar watch like it's  the Discovery Channel. There are a variety of over the hill women sporting bra-less tank tops from their grandaughters' closets while they hit on tool bags trying to get smashed on the happy hour specials. This is disgusting but a form of entertainment none the less.
Bottom line, avoid Fast Eddies in Centreville. I cannot comment on the Mt Vernon location as I value my life far too much to visit there in an attempt to provide a yelp review.
I really like this place. Â I always have fun here, though you can't be expecting much before you go in. Â Yes, there is a girl there that is ALWAYS there on weekends that wears totally skimpy clothing for her size, but it's kinda entertaining in a sad way.
As a non-smoker, I don't mind the smoking. Â Hey, you can always go outside, or somewhere that doesn't allow smoking, like, I don't know, ANYWHERE ELSE. Â Happy hour here is the tits. Â $9 for a TOWER of beer. Â Love the bartender Kay too. Â Just enough attitude. Â She's awesome.
The bouncers are all nice guys, and I've never had a problem with them. Â
The only issue i've ever had was that my food took a super long time one day. Â I wasn't in a rush, so it was cool.
It has been a long time since I've been to a suburban bar in any state, let alone one in Virginia. Being VA, I expected to smell like an ashtray, I expected a mix of aging d-bags and cougars-in-training.
What I didn't expect was the shamu in a belly-exposing tube top (or maybe it was just a shirt from Baby Gap?) shakin her money-loser on the oversize linoleum dance square.
I didn't expect to be yelled at by the bouncer who clearly met his athletic peak at his homecoming game about having my pint of overpriced warm Yuengling while standing on the edge of said dance square.
Nor did I expect those cougars-in-training to be so chatty with the boys in blue outside the front door - right before they walked to their cars. Well, maybe I did expect that.
