THe thing about the DC NoVA area is that things are pretty close in terms of distance...no traffice, thats another thing.
I live in Arlington..there are definately some fun bars/restaurants up on Wilson Blvd. There is a Cheesecake Factory, this place celled Whitlows on Wilson, The Galazy Hut has live music - and thats all right in the same place - its at the Clarendon Metro. As for nearer to Alexandria - Old Town is really fun. Can't think of anything off the top of my head ( I normally don't make plans there) but the whole area has great shopping/food, etc.
Another fun area to go to in terms of bars is M st. There is tons of stuff in Georgetown by Wisconson as well as many bars on M st and like 18, 19th and 20th. I personally like The Sign of the Whale and The Madhatter.
Those are just a few suggestions.....Hope that helps.
