Inspired by St. Augustine, the Patron Saint of Brewers, Augie’s Mussel House and Beer Garden in historic Old Town, Alexandria blends traditional Belgium cuisine with a modern twist. Our creative mussel offerings can be thoughtfully paired with one of our extensive Ale selections. Whether you are sampling one of our many brews on the festive patio, or enjoying a waffle and frites in our bespoke dining room, Augie’s has you covered! We locally source the freshest and best ingredients to create our culinary offerings and our in-house beer Cicerones seek out both traditional and innovative brewers to provide a vast selection. The team at Augie’s is ready to take you on a culinary journey.

Been craving mussels so this was the perfect stop after 5pm Mass on Christmas Eve. Enjoyed the Christmas Cookie Ale with my husband and my brother visiting from Vegas. Perfect way to kick off Christmas. Thank You!

Great restaurant. Mussels were delicious and everything else we ordered. The lamb pie was like the one we had in Ireland, crust was flaky good. Brisket sandwich was fantastic too. Service was great; beer was good. And just loved the whole ambience. Fun place and great food!

Food was mediocre at best, not very tasty and low value for the price. Service same, didn't realize when drinks needed replenishment, two items were wrong which resulted in the entire team not being able to eat at the same time. Beer choices upstairs were very limited and didn't have a great variety.

The hostess was rude. There were gnats inside, food was mediocre, but they have great screens for sporting events and are responsive about changing the channels.

The food is always good, but our service was below par on our last visit. Hard to get refill on drinks, tried to bring us 2 meals we didn’t order and had to ask twice for our check. Hoping this was a one time thing as usually service is good, but last night was too much of a struggle. :-(
