Weekends at Rustico always seem to move a little too fast. Good food, great beers, plenty of laughs, and even better company. Thanks to everyone who spent part of their weekend with us.
Shoutout to Rich Goldman for keeping the energy rolling Saturday night during live music from 8–10PM. If you missed it this week, we’ll be back at it again next Saturday.
Great drinks, familiar faces, live music, and the kind of nights that remind you why neighborhood spots matter. See you next weekend at Rustico Alexandria

There is no admission fee for this event. All featured beers will be available a la carte.
