The owner told me it is brought in from Ireland. The owners are all from Ireland.

I went to Ireland. Can confirm. Tastes the same to me.

It's also $8 a glass. Just FYI.

Cool. They serve Irish breakfast. I might get dressed now and head over for pint and some breakfast around noon at O'Connells. Pictures look legit.

I like good black puddin.

I'd kill myself if I had to commute from Rockville to Lorton.

Better for what? DC traffic is bad on a good day. Add some weather and it's horrendous.

ETA: I've lived in NOVA since 1983 and have had just about every commute one can have from western Fairfax County.

Also, you should look at Fair Lakes. A lot of younger people are living in that area as there are plenty of condos and apartments plus you have great access to Fairfax County Parkway and your commute would be pretty easy down 123 to Lorton. Fairfax Town Center is close and Reston Town Center is only 5-6 miles away.

No decent place to get a bagel in Ballston on a weekend. That's my only complaint about the area.

I guess it depends where you work. I worked mostly at FtMeade and occasionally at the pentagon. So MD was more convient.

He's going to be working in Lorton. You listed two horrific commutes for him. Great for you though.
