Things To Do
Historic Downtown Manassas
Historic Downtown or "Old Town" Manassas is home to many cute shops and fun restaurants + bars, such as CJ Finz, Philadelphia Tavern, Sinistral Brewing, Public House, Monza, Zandra's Taqueria (features a rooftop), Mariachis Tequileria, Crossroads Tavern (featuring dozens of board games you can play at your table), and Olde Town Sports Pub.

For those who like antique shopping, George and I used to visit this shop when we lived just five minutes away. We display a lot of the finds we collected from Iron Horse in our home today.
Manassas National Battlefield Park
Manassas National Battlefield Park offers great walking trails and beautiful scenery all year round.
2 Silos Brewing Co.
2 Silos is great for a large group. They have their indoor seating and plenty of outdoor space (covered bar-height tables, patio tables, fire pits, etc). They have live music most days and display the schedule for that on their website. Dogs are welcome!
Vertical Rock Climbing & Fitness Center
Vertical Rock is an incredibly fun and rewarding experience that allows you to chose guided or solo rock climbing and or bouldering. They have shoe rental as well so you don't have to worry about bringing your own climbing shoes.
Old Town Warrenton
Old Town Warrenton is just outside of Prince William County but still close by and offers countless restaurants, bars, shops, with a historic feel.
Blooms Park
I've been to this trail Zulia a dozen times and personally love + recommend it often. The main trail is 2.3 miles and has beautiful views all the way around. It has a paved walking path throughout the entire duration and has varying scenery to include rock formations, large fields, trees, and a pond.
Eavesdrop Brewery
Eavesdrop is a fun place to grab a drink with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. They allow dogs, have fire pits, play live music on certain days, and usually have a food truck parked on site.
Cedar Run Antique Center
Just outside of Prince William County, this is another great antique store option that George and I have visited (and happens to be 4 minutes from our house). This shop is huge and will have you wandering around for over an hour. You are bound to find something special like we have!
Promenade at Virginia Gateway
The Promenade is located very close to Manassas and offers a variety of stores and delicious restaurants. Most notably, they have a movie theater if you want to catch a film and Muse Paint Bar if you want to get creative with a glass of wine in hand.
The Farm Brewery at Broad Run
The Farm is another great brewery option which offers a variety of outdoor seating, tons of drink options, and is dog friendly. Plus, they have axe throwing as well!
Messick's Farm Market
Messicks is just a couple minutes past the Prince William County line and is a great spot for all ages. They are family-owned have fresh flowers, foods, locally-sourced wines and offers a really cute atmosphere.
