Harry's Tap Room

Located: 2800 Clarendon Blvd, just a few blocks from the Clarendon metro stop.  They also have locations in the Pentagon City Mall and in the Dulles Airport.

The decor & atmosphere of Harry's was quite nice.  A medium, open room in front with upscale settings and a small bar area in back.  Harry's appeared to have a larger upstairs area, but I did not expore.

I had only a wine and appetizers at Harry's.  The wine was reasonably good and priced in the $7-$13 range.  The complimentary bread was quite good, especially the little jalapeño muffiny things.  The two appetizers we tried were the Baked Bree Cheese and the Jumbo Lump Chesapeake Blue Crab Cake.  Appetizers were generally pricey at $9-$14.  The bree was pretty good.  It was melted with a touch of some kind of wine reduction and a few very thin pear slices.  It wasn't the best Bree or cheese appetizer that I've had, but it's hard to go wrong with bree, and it was pretty good sized.  I don't really remember the Crab Cake at this point (5 days later), so I suspect that it was fine, but unremarkable.  Based on the appetizers, it appears that you're paying for fancy, but only solid food, but mainly atmosphere and location.

The (dinner) menu lists the Entrees at $17-$30 with the sandwiches (burgers) being all over $10.  They also have mussels for $16.
