They do not have a kitchen any more but there is a Vietnamese restaurant, pizza place, French restaurant and a few other spots right by the bar and you can bring in food.

The restaurant/bar has a trumpet as their logo and has some New Orleans decor. I was here for a Meetup group on Friday, February 18, 2022 after I had work travel to Loudoun County, Arlington was on my way home (although not my fastest option). I opted to get a fried shrimp Po Boy sandwich with mac n' cheese. It was great. I think it's the best Po Boy I've had the DMV although to be fair, I haven't had that many in this area, but this one was definitely delicious. Mac n Cheese was better than it looked. It wasn't the very best mac n cheese, but it was above average. I think I had a wine too as I barely made it there in time for happy hour, which ends at 7, as I had a movie walking distance from there at AMC Courthouse beforehand. I think I ordered straight from the bar for quicker convenience then ordered food at the table if I remember correctly. Server was nice, but took a bit of time, but it was a large group; it wasn't anything unreasonable. I also talked a lot with this woman, walked with her to her car (it was on my way to my car a block or two further) on that cold windy night. We talked outside briefly, but it was quite cold. So, we parted by but not before I asked for the digits; we exchanged phone numbers. See my 5-star Urban Thai review written on 2/28/26, which tells about my 2 dates with her. She was kind of strange, but she was a good person in spite of her not being a good match for me.

This is probably my 10th time going for this exact combo and I'm mad at myself for not capturing all the moments prior but it's hard to let the phone eat first when the food is that good! We got a burger, chicken sandwich and the steak salad! & everyone got an espresso martini! Truly we all couldn't stop raving about each of our individual drinks! It was fantastic! The staff is also always very lively and friendly and though always busy seemingly very attentive still! I can't wait to go back and go there for dinner and stay late for the drinks!

I can see how reviews can swing both ways for Arlington Pub. It is, after all, a hybrid craft beer…read morebar and coffee bar in the upstairs of the Clarendon Whole Foods. So I'll pose this questions to my fellow beer hunters. What matters to you most ... atmosphere of the bar, or an excellent selection of craft beers on tap, including a few that are hard to find, at rock bottom prices. If you are in the camp of the latter, then you will love Arlington Pub. I stumbled upon Arlington Pub a bit on accident. I was in the area and had heard lots of great things about Galaxy Hut and wanted to check them out. I got there about 4:15PM and found their door locked. Having to REALLY need to use the bathroom, I decided to hop across the street to Whole Foods, take care of business, and then figure out a place to kill time until 5PM. As I headed upstairs towards the restroom, I saw that my search for a place to kill time would be over quickly. Behold Arlington Pub. They had recently had a tap takeover from Oskar Blues Brewing, the brewery best know for Dale's Pale Ale. Tap takeovers are a great way to find and sample beers that you rarely see. In this case, it was the excellent Ninja Cow ESB. I found it a bit dark in color for an ESB, but had that characteristic ESB smoothness. They were on the tail end of the tap takeover, so some of the OB brews were tapped, but had been replaced with some interesting options. They offer a flight, so I decided to sample a few of the other OB offerings - their 10 Fidy Imperial Stout and Gubna Imperial IPA. I also threw in selections from other breweries - Sump Coffee Stout from Perennial and Allagash Curieux, a Belgian Tripel aged in Jim Beam bourbon barrels. These are all VERY strong beers, but the flight pours were generous, and there was no upcharge on the strong brews. The flight, normally $5, was $4 for happy hour. And prices like this is what makes you forget that you are enjoying cheap craft beer on the top floor of a hipster grocery store. My pint of Ninja Cow, normally $3, was a dollar off for happy hour. Throw in a double espresso to finish off after the flight, and my tab was under $10. And the bartender/barista actually functions as a checkout cashier, so there is no need to tip and no place for tipping on a credit card transaction. (I didn't ask if they were allowed to take cash tips ... I didn't have cash, so it was a bit of a moot point.) So if you can get over the fact that the this is a bar on the upper level of Whole Foods, you'll find Arlington Pub is a great place to kill some time and enjoy a great selection of craft beer at insanely cheap prices.

All the other Whole Foods have a much better Beer & Wine selection and are far more cleaner. The glasses all have lip marks and the tables have chunks of old food and are sticky ALWAYS! There are also numerous surveillance cameras & the lighting is extremely harsh above the bar which I find very odd. It's a shame because I love eating & having a drink or two at Whole Foods for it's a comfortable place to be alone & not feel like I'm at a meat market. I now many times go to the Fairoaks location which has lower nice lighting, is clean and has a great atmosphere.

The Kind of Bar You Accidentally Stay At for Three Rounds…read more You know that moment after work when you tell yourself you will just grab one drink? That is exactly how I ended up spending an entire Friday evening at Nanny O'Brien's, the Irish pub that feels like the heartbeat of Cleveland Park. It is the kind of place where the bartenders somehow keep track of twenty orders at once and still remember your drink the next round. The crowd is a great mix of neighbors, regulars, people wandering up from the metro, a few still in work clothes, a few clearly not. It is unpretentious, comfortable, and has that true neighborhood watering hole energy that is hard to find in DC anymore. If you are looking for a fancy cocktail bar, this is not it. But if you want to grab a pint, trade stories with strangers, and maybe forget about your inbox for a while, this is exactly where you want to be.

The wings and truffle fries were almost $20 each - the exact same price as all the burgers. They only have canned cocktails and the selection is also very limited. I believe only 3 types of canned cocktails are available. There's a beer and wine menu but I'm not sure how exhaustive it is. Our food also took forever to arrive, long after the show started and we ordered about 20+ minutes before the show started. The seating is inconvenient and narrow, and tables and floors are sticky. I'm only giving it 3 stars because my cheeseburger was good and the patty was thick. I would come back for the comedy show probably but not get food or drinks. You're probably better off just getting soda for the two item minimum. I couldn't take any pictures since our food came late after the show had already started and we weren't allowed to take any pictures during the show.
