this place is scary..... or depending on where you're from, scurry.  i used to live in the apt complex right next to it back in the late 80s/early 90s and the whole area has gone downhill big time.  but anyway, back to the restaurant, the whole place is just so 1980's.  they have pictures of athletes and sports teams from the 70s and 80s.... the beer mugs they use are probably from the 80s... the computer they use for the register is from the 80s.  the food is just ok though i guess.  hence the 3 stars.  as for the cleanliness, it's not the cleanest.  there's a lot of smoke.  and the characters you'll find there are a little sketchy.well, good luck to you!

Have you ever seen something so ugly, that its beautiful? In my opinion, this is the best way to describe Neighbors.I just moved to Vienna about 2 months ago, and was in desperate need of finding a new watering hole (nothing against Vienna Inn- just a little too family friendly at times).  Boy did I hit the jackpot when I found this diamond in the rough.  First of all, I am shocked this place, yet alone, the whole shopping center was not demolished maybe 20 years ago?My friends, this place is truly trapped in time.   All the televisions seem to be on their last leg (none of which are HD of course), the lighting is dim, and the smell of stale cigarettes fill the air.  Staying true to its 'Sports Bar' theme, there are assorted '88 Topps baseball cards laminated on all the tables and the bar, very classy.  Not to mention any of the other miscellaneous 80s sports paraphernalia covering the dingy walls. I'm not kidding, the clocks stopped here somewhere around Regan's second term.Let me first say that I've never eaten here and never will eat here.  I might be missing out, but I highly doubt it. This review is for drinking only. Luckily the few times I decided to drop by coincided with karaoke night.  Which I really think National Geographic should do a social documentary on.   Right away, it was easy to see that this bar had its regulars and was a little clicky, but very welcoming as well.  I'm talkin about some real hard alcoholics here, morbidly obese chain smokers, and some folks who didn't speak a lick of English, but had the desire to blow their last  paycheck on getting drunk and having a good time, something I cant help but respect.Some of these characters include: 1)A couple in their early 40s who are clearly dysfunctional and both have severe alcohol problems. They seem to be magnetized to my girlfriend and I the second we entered the bar, they told us the entire history of their relationship, crying, laughing, and yelling until they abruptly stormed out to take their chances behind the wheel.2)A small squirrely looking fella with hair that covers his eyes who is equipped with a bitchin' airguitar.  This guy always sings the same 5 classic rock songs, usually with a 3 second delay to go along with the words.  He sways back and forth as he walks up to the microphone as his Marlboro red 100 miraculously balances on the edge of his lips. Once he finishes a song, the clientele goes wild and this guy is once again the hero of the night. I think hes my fav.3) The tool guy. This dude, is definitely a fan favorite and seems to always be surrounded by an entourage of like-minded angry people.  He is tall, skinny, has a shaved head, and only sings Tool songs to the audience. He has a very distinguished routine: chugs his beer, smokes his entire cig with one drag, and proceeds to squeal into the microphone for a solid 4 minutes. All his songs are very angry and depressing, not sure why this is, maybe his mom hit the road in his formative years, or maybe just cuz hes at Neighbors. Either way, this guy always seems to take the night hostage, which surprisingly doesn't seem to upset the older alcoholics who cant speak or pretty much move for that matter.This place is a cross between a retirement home and an insane asylum that requires all their patients to drink and smoke as much as possible. Leave your inhibitions at the door (along with your designer Jeans and Gap Hoodie), welcome to Neighbors!

It's Sunday. 1pm. I find myself in Vienna, VA; an hour away from home, with the Redskins game ticking away..I drive to a dilapidated shopping center frantically searching for a sports bar. Then I find it "Neighbor's Sports Bar / Catering". The restaurant, frankly it's old and ugly inside. The regulars seem a little rough. I feel awkward in my nice jeans and Gap hoodie. I seat myself slightly to the right of the big screen TV. The room is too bright, or the TV is too weak; either way it's a bit washed out. The waiter is rushed, but friendly. I order a cheesesteak. There is someone sitting a few seats behind me, I'm assuming he's a bit drunk: he's laughing at the Hyundai commercial.The cheesesteak arrives. It barely has any taste to it - I almost feel like adding salt to it. The soda I ordered has a staleness to it. People are smoking (VA still allows smoking in public places I guess?). Not the best restaurant experience. But I get to watch the first half in relative peace and munch on some food. I head out at halftime.

KAREOKE NIGHT REVIEWMe an my friends always have a good time here.  I have never had the food but Neighbors gets 4 stars for offering a place where you can drink, sing and smoke a hookah.  To my knowledge, this is the only place where you can do all three of those at once.

What a weird place, a sports bar with hookah and karaoke, in a remote strip mall no lessIt appears to be an American sports bar from the outside but is actually run by Azeris and they serve kabobs. Inside there is a bar and folks singing Kareoke, but if you befriend the Turkish speaking management, they will lead you into adjoining rooms where you can watch Persian music videos, karaoke, and eat in peace. The food was not bad, good earl grey tea, hookah available. Just glad I went here with Azeri and Turkish friends. Otherwise I would have felt completely out of place.
