"A mixed fried-food outing: the reviewer was disappointed by the chicken tenders, especially given the brand’s roots as a fried-chicken (and doughnut) operation, but the mozzarella sticks compensated with a molten center and a nice fry on the outside. Overall, the offerings are described as great food for drinking — in this case enjoyed after a weekend of three concerts with fellow choir members. — M.F." - Eater Staff
"D.C.’s go-to option for fried chicken and doughnuts expanded their downtown location next door into a beer hall and coffee shop several years back. Happy hour means $2 off beers, wines, and appetizers like loaded tots and fried pickles." - Tierney Plumb
"This Sunday, Astro Beer Hall will continue game day specials at its Shirlington spot with $15 Astro kolsch pitchers and $20 Miller pitchers alongside classic bar food." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Score big with the beer hall’s doughnut-and-chicken combo special, running Saturdays and Sundays while supplies last. For $70, get six football-shaped doughnuts and 25 chicken tenders. Available to online or inside Astro locations." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The latest Astro Beer Hall goes big on its astronaut theme, bringing 'Launchpad' espresso martinis, arcade favorites like Space Invaders and Pac-Man, and a doughnut-making robot to Arlington. The Village at Shirlington’s new 14,000-square-foot destination for beer, doughnut, and fried chicken is a collaboration between the owners of Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken and Tin Shop. Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken chef Chris Kujala sends out a familiar lineup of hot chicken sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and pimento cheese dip and biscuits, joined by an expanded bar menu full of deviled eggs, fried pickles, loaded tots, and more. Nine types of fried-to-order cake doughnuts are made by a robot that’s visible from the street. Astro Beer Hall’s underlying cosmic theme also makes its way onto the menu with new additions like the 'Astronomic' burger and 'Satellite Sampler Tower'. Cocktails include a cinnamon-spiced Launchpad espresso martini, a rum-spiked Rocket Queen with pineapple and mint, an Apollo Paloma, and two frozen flavors at a time." - Tierney Plumb
