Afterlife 360

This is a dive bar in the most awesome way possible. It’s dark inside, it reeks of cigarette smoke, there may be a customer or two who may be a bit deep in their cups; so don’t expect to bring Aunt Sophie & the kids for a quiet dinner. Your first hint should be is they call themselves a tavern not a family restaurant, learn to read; I understand there is a Zoolander School for Kids Who Don’t Read so Good & Stuff.
Everyone in here seems to know each other & there is lots of friendly ribbing & chatter among patrons. However, unlike many other places with a «good ol boy network» this one is quick to take you into the fold. My first visit here was yesterday & I was invited into many conversations, chatted up by a few patrons who went out of their way to come over & say hi while the bartender made a point to introduce me to people.
I don’t get the biker references in other reviews, I have been to NoVA «biker bars» & this is not one (maybe I went on the wrong night), rather this is a bar full off salt of the earth people who work for a living. Think of Lee Brice’s song «The Drinking Class» & you will get a good idea. Enjoy the company while Led Zeppelin, The Police, James Brown, etc washes over you from the «Jukebox».
The service was a wee bit slow but that goes with the casual atmosphere of the place & the fact the bartender knows & interacts with patrons. Drinks were well made & you knew there was alcohol in them. This is a smoking establishment so, if that bugs you either stay home or wear something you will take off & throw immediately in the wash when you get home; it’s also apparently pipe friendly which appeals to me. I will say the night bartender seemed a bit more distracted than the day bartender but, perhaps she was having an off night. The food I ordered (Fish & Chips) was a wee bit salty, the fries were about perfect, the hushpuppies had a nice onion flavor, & the fish had a nice crispy bready & was moist.
While I didn’t play, there is a pool table & a side room with what looked like 2 dart boards (unsure on pool prices or if they provide darts), also there is a digital poker game on two TVs that several folks were playing, cheering, & groaning over. Three other sets had sports games going on.
As I left many patron bid me good bye & wished my return soon. Don’t worry, I think I found my new neighborhood bar.

Nice chill atmosphere, good food, and a cool bartender. Divey sort of bar, but I think that added to the charm. All around, a good experience.

Sketchy shopping center, blah service, cold beer, food is okay but it’s not a home run. If my friend’s band is playing, I’ll go. Other than meeting someone who has specifically chosen Afterlife 360, I have no other driving force to come here.
PS… some of the seats are made out of old church pews’, which is pretty bad ass if you ask me!

Bar food extravagenza! It’s a wannabe Biker Bar, because I get the feeling that most of the «bikers» are dentists, office workers, school teachers and the like. I love the inexpensive daily food specials and ice cold Yuenglings. Where else can you find a noon — 8 PM happy hour, but Manassas?! I’m a big fan. I visit often and destroy the NY Strip and Baked Potatoe special for $ 6. The staff is always friendly and you have HDTVs (with local/​national sports games), a couple pool tables, a modern Jukebox and local characters for plenty of people watching to keep you entertained through your meal. It’s only a 3 Stars rating from me b/​c smoking is allowed in the main room with a small side non-​smoking area, even I don’t smoke and couldnt care less about the smoke… give me «the action» of the main dining room and bar, any day!

The definition of NoVa’s «biker dive bar» in Webster’s. Classic in every sense of the word. It’s not a movie prop, you’re not on set for True Grit or something, it’s a real bar in Manassas.
You got your cheap beers, your live music of bad Eagles and lost 1990s hits on tap. You got delicious fries that are very, very cheap. You also have a time machine. Smoke-​free bars in 2011? Not here, my friend. «Classic,» as Alan from the Hangover would say.
What else you got… well, when you’re rolling with a bunch of brown people into the bar, you get the really, really drunk white guy with a beard who stumbles your way, and tells you that the two girls who are with you are «bee-​you-​tee-​ful,» while trying not to fall over. He’s harmless though, he returns back to his pool table and carries on with the night.
I dare you not to leave here without some classic story that you’ll ultimately end up posting on this site. Spread the gospel, add to the legend.
Consider yourself Tebowed… Unilocal style.
I still don’t know what that means.

A biker bar without the bikers. Feels like the best place to go if you’ve never left Manassas. I’d recommend going on a Wednesday to get their really juicy, greasy, tasty burger.

A nice little bar outside of the usual Old Town Manassas Bar scene. Good prices, average selection, a little cramped inside, bad live music performers, plenty of room outside to smoke.
That’s basically it. Although, they have a good (not incredible, but certainly not bad) steak + baked potato + veg for 5.99 $ once or twice a week.
Recently I’ve seen a lot of bikers there… Might be changing to a different scene soon.

I love this place. I visit on Saturdays with the girls for drinks and apps. My drink of choice is Vodka and cranberry and they serve a generous portion for about $ 3.00 during happy hour. All the appetizers that I’ve tried are yummy.
Service is great and the atmosphere is cool. It could be described as a bit of a dive, but I like the laid back nature of the place.

Never ever again. I was SO excited to take my husband here for St Pattys after reading the reviews on Unilocal.He commented on the sketchy shopping area, but I promised him that there were nothing but good reviews and that we should give it a try.
We walked in, and *immediately* walked out. We were in there literally three seconds and I exited REEKING of smoke. Who the hell lets the smokers take charge of the front dining room? I really wish we could have given this place a better try — but when there is that much smoke upon entering a restaurant… I can’t even imagine eating food in there, regardless of how good it is. It really sucked we had to leave — because there was even live music playing. If heavy smoke in the atmosphere doesn’t bother you — then go for sure. But I’m not a smoker and I sure hate smelling like I am when I’m not! Move the smoking to outside, none at all, or put it in the back with ventilation!

We came here based on Unilocal reviews. It’s everything y’all say it is.
I can’t drink but my wife had a margarita for under $ 3 during happy hour and we had the steak and potato special (salad is extra).
Service was right on the spot and the steak was done exactly as ordered. Don’t know if they even have a menu but I gather they have a different $ 5.95 dinner special each night.
Atmosphere is quiet (for a tuesday night, maybe that’s to be expected) and they have a separate dining area for non-​smokers.
We’ll be back.

I just found out about this place last week and I’ve been twice since. Great, easy atmosphere, good food, and excellent service. Afterlife 360 has a low-​key local pub feel. The bar set-​up is very regular friendly, there’re lots of TVs showing multiple channels, a couple of arcade games, and theres even a pool table tucked into the corner. Events throughout the year and brunch from 1 – 4 on weekends. Prices are very reasonable (fantastic prices on daily specials and drinks). I’m looking forward to spending more time there.
5÷16÷2010 — I’m updating this review to add that there is outdoor seating available:)

If you don’t mind a completely cheesy and cheap environment, this place is great. I got a steak, baked potato and garlic bread for $ 5.15 on a Friday night. My wine cost more than my steak dinner. I was skeptical and a tad frightened but was pleasantly surprised. No wonder my friends keep coming here!

Been going to this place for a few months now. The place has a decent comfort level. There is an Arcade game or two, a few aquariums, pool table and a small stage often occupied by local small-​timers. They also used to have a few couches, that was cool, but I believe they have been moved.
The dining room has plenty of small tables without being crowded. The bar is small and usually packed.
The service is always friendly and the owner seems to be there all the time. He’ll do table visits and is easily approachable.
Tuesdays they offer $ 5 NY Strips with a potato and garlic bread. Nice quality and always cooked correctly.
Do verify the subtotal on your check, as they have a ghost charge (for modifications) that doesn’t show up on your bill and can ultimately increase your check without your knowledge.

I like the laid back atmosphere and friendly service at Afterlife 360. The cheap beers don’t hurt either. I think it is important to note this place is very different — furniture from an old church, pay-​to-​play pool and darts, and quiet folksy music — none of which seems to go together. For some, this is jarring, but I think the overall affect is a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s just a fun little neighborhood bar where you can have a good pint with a good friend.

I love this place. It’s a cozy neighborhood bar. The bartenders/​servers always have a smile on their face, the prices are great, and it’s one of the few places in this area that either aren’t redneck or, alternately, harbor pretentions of «fine dining» that fall pitifully short.
As for the food? It’s bar food — I mean, what can you expect? It’s nothing amazing, but it’s hardly unpleasant. This is just not a place you go to for the food. The ambiance is comfortable and low-​key, the music is never over-​powering, and there’s a pay-​to-​play pool table, video poker machine, and darts. Since Sharpshooter’s closed, this is the kind of place that’s been sorely missing around here.

A small group of us stopped by tonight because of the good reviews here, and I have to say it was an enjoyable evening out! The staff was definitely friendly, and the house draft (Afterlife 360 beer!?) was actually quite good, we ordered two pitchers! Prices are fair too, don’t know about the food though, but interested to try some on the next visit. Live music that wasn’t overly loud, a pleasant change of pace and overall a nice relaxing atmosphere. I’d call it sort of a neighborhood joint, or a «dive bar», but what it might not have in flashy amenities, it definitely makes up with in charm and friendly and comfortable surroundings. The pool table, electronic darts, and bar game machines are nice additions for stuff to do while out for a drink. Will plan on going back for a meal soon and look forward to a returning again.

Like every bar in Manassas, this one still has the redneck-​feel to it but so far it’s my favorite bar to go to. Bartenders & waitresses are very friendly, the drinks are really good & pretty cheap! The live music, which is mainly acoustic, can be a downer, so I like the TouchTunes a lot more. And there’s a lot of places to sit. Don’t sit near the stage or else you can’t hear what your friends are saying.

I have been going to 360 for about 6 months now and have always had a great time there without it putting a big dent on my pocket. Staff is very personable, food is better and healthier then other local bars and cheaper, drink specials are always great too! You add the live music and it’s a win win combination!
Thumbs up!

Great, spacious atmosphere; friendly staff; good food; draws a large variety of people; best of all… CHEAP drinks!
The owner, Dan, is very personable; he’ll set up a section for parties/​groups/​special occasions if need be. There’s often times live music (acoustic normally), and if there’s not, they have one of those TouchTunes on the wall. There’s a pool table, darts, a bowling video game and two touch screen game portals, as well as numerous large flat screen TVs. There are two leather couches, several booths and several tables as well.
