FAQs

Can I carry an alcoholic beverage around The Village at Shirlington?
Absolutely! Enjoy alcoholic beverages to go from Aroma, Busboys & Poets, Cheesetique, Guapo’s, Palette 22, Samuel Beckett’s, Damn Good Burgers, Copperwood Tavern, Dudley’s Sport & Ale, or Taco and Piña and stroll throughout the designated common areas and participating stores at The Village (must be 21+, you know the drill). Make sure to keep your beverage in a disposable cup provided by the restaurant where you purchased the drink.

Where can I Sip & Stroll?
You can now roam with your cocktail on Campbell Avenue, S. Randolph Street and the other pedestrian walkways throughout The Village. Click here for a map of the specific designated areas. Alcohol not permitted in any parking lot or garage.

Can I bring my own alcohol to The Village at Shirlington?
No. Only alcoholic beverages purchased from Aroma, Busboys & Poets, Cheesetique, Guapo’s, Palette 22, Samuel Beckett’s, Damn Good Burgers, Copperwood Tavern, Dudley’s Sport & Ale, or Taco and Piña may be taken outside the restaurant and into the neighborhood. No outside alcohol is permitted.

Can I take my drink into a store while shopping?
If you see the “Sip & Shop” sign on the store, you may enter that store with your alcoholic beverage. The shops you are allowed to drink and shop are Adara Spa, Hardwood Artisans and Dogma Bakery.

Can I take my drink that I purchased from Aroma, Busboys & Poets, Cheesetique, Guapo’s, Palette 22, Samuel Beckett’s, Damn Good Burgers, Copperwood Tavern, Dudley’s Sport & Ale, or Taco and Piña into another restaurant?

If you order a second beverage, the restaurant will provide you with a new cup.
