 Someplace no further than Rockville; Silver Spring would be good.

 Rock Bottom Brewery in Bethesda has private rooms upstairs--the bar is very noisy. Clyde's in Friendship Heights may also have a good space.

4. Do you have any recommendations for happy hour locations in Virginia?

 I'm in Virginia, so that likely wins. But some places in DC/MD are MORE convenient than some places in VA. I'm likely to drive, so ample free parking matters to me. Metro access doesn't. For extra credit, avoid crowded/noisy/overcrowded choices -- though you'd likely have figured that out yourselves!

 No idea - but someplace close to Tyson's Corner (near my office) or in Reston (near my home) would be nice. Of course, if you folks were REALLY adventurous and wanted to have some VERY GOOD draft beer and ale -- I could HIGHLY recommend the Old Brogue in Great Falls, VA (have a web site, too) which would be VERY convenient to me but maybe not so for others.

 Probably someplace in Rosslyn before the Blue and Orange Metro lines diverge would be good -- although my favorite places tend to be in Pentagon City (e.g., Sine) on the Blue Line or in the Courthouse or Ballston stop areas.
