Yes, you can hit up happy hour at the beach during the week without braving the Bay Bridge.
• MacDowell Brew Kitchen: There is a beach in Leesburg, but the only liquid available comes in the form of craft beer (their own and others), wine, cocktails and nonalcoholic beverages. So pull up a stump, bench or chair, shimmy your feet in the sand and relax.
• Clare and Don’s Beach Shack: With the colorful seaside decor, you may think you’ve stepped into a Margaritaville ad, but really you’re in Falls Church.
