AKB, a hotel bar

Archer’s artful gathering spot is in Tysons’ emerging Scotts Run South, at the foot of the McLean Silver Line Metro station. The casually hip boutique hotel bar is underscored by a grand central bar, several cozy niches, an alfresco patio and a shuffleboard table. After work or before play, AKB’s craft cocktails and shareable bites (or Archer’s favorite burger topped with pimento cheese) hit the spot. And morning meetings are that much better with à la carte breakfast and specialty coffee.
