    Entrance has the pool tables
    Rachel D.

    This is an everyday people's bar. A good place to come in for a drink at the bar. About 12 seats at the bar. Tables all around and 2 pool tables. Super casual with a small deck in the back. Parking is shared with another bar so it can get crowded in the parking lot. Juke box has a variety of artists to choose from. Overall a cool place to chill.

    That's Betty aka Donna

    Betty aka Donna is bad ass! We came down from Cali for the game and found this place by chance. I'm so glad we found this hole in wall spot! Everyone was super friendly. Betty (Donna) was amazing, quick on the draw lol funny as heck! Made great drinks, pricing is in budget. We came bk 3 times in our 4 day trip just cus she is the best n everyone is so welcoming!!! Hole in walls are my favorite and this one is on my top list now, every time I come in town I will come bk to visit Betty! Lol

    Looks innocent enough....

    Great dive bar tucked away in Arlington. Solid service, interesting locals and ridiculously cheap drinks. Like 1973 cheap.

    I wanted to share feedback about a recent visit to your bar during karaoke night…read more I've been here multiple times in the past and have always had a great experience, which is why I recommended it to a friend and chose to come back. My group and I had been there for about an hour, ordered drinks, tipped, and participated in karaoke without any issues. Everything was going well. However, we were suddenly told we would no longer be served, without any explanation. When I calmly asked for clarification, another staff member approached and made a comment about us having "the worst attitude," which was unexpected and did not reflect our behavior or experience that evening. We chose to leave without escalating the situation, but the interaction felt unprofessional and confusing--especially since there had been no prior issue or communication. I'm sharing this in hopes that it can be reviewed internally, as it impacted what had otherwise been a consistently positive experience.

    I went there tonight. I used to be a regular when Earl was the KJ and before life got in the way of…read moreme having fun on a regular basis. The current KJ Nina is incredibly rude. She let me sing once and let other people sing 2-3 times after I did. She was dismissive when I brought this to her attention so I took back the tip I put in her jar that was double the amount of other tips. I hope you guys get a kinder KJ that will honor Earl's legacy. I will think twice before setting foot in this establishment again. There are other places to sing karaoke in Arlington. The bartenders are really nice and take good care of the patrons though.

    Used to be a regular, was a great spot. Bartenders are amazing and great prices…read more However, it's gotten weird lately. I saw the owner in there harassing his bar manager, pushing chairs around, and spitting tobacco on his own floor. They periodically go "cash only". Wonder why? I'm no Sherlock but it smells of skimming and money laundering. All of the old local regular musicians no longer will play there. Too bad, it's a piece of Arlington history.

But if you're after strong drinks, good music, and that perfect layer of gritty charm, this place *nails it*. The vibe is unapologetically old-school--dim lighting, scratched-up tables, neon beer signs, and a jukebox that somehow always knows what you need to hear. It's the kind of place where regulars and newcomers mix without pretension, and the bartenders pour with a heavy hand and zero judgment. Drinks are cheap, cash is king, and the crowd is refreshingly real. No-frills, no fuss--just cold beer, a couple of shots, and some of the best late-night conversations you'll never remember. Bonus points for the pool table in the back and the surprisingly decent bar snacks. (The chili cheese fries? Ridiculously good after midnight.) This is a bar that wears its history like a badge of honor--and somehow, it feels like home even on your first visit. Dive in and don't look back.

    So, buddy asks me if I want to go have a drink at this bar across from Bell Helicopter one night…read more I'm like, "are you kidding? No!" He says it's a nice place, about as divey as where we were at the time, and after he said he'd drive, I said "sure, why not" Get there, walk in, and he's right. It's not bad at all. It's old inside and the last remodel looks like it was back in the 70's, but I never really care about that stuff. It was a weekend night and there were quite a few people there. Bartenders were quick and friendly. No draft beer, but a pretty stocked full bar so no complaints. One thing I really ended up liking best about this place, was it's a mostly older crowd. Majority of people, I'd guess, 40's and up, maybe upper 30's in the least. I'm bad with ages. Everyone was friendly. Looks like a big regular crowd, seemed everyone knew each other. People doing Karaoke in the corner. Everyone was having a good time. Didn't see any people having drama or walk in misfits making trouble. Bit of a drive for me, but might make this more of a first stop on the weekend place. Drinks were reasonable.

    Nice smaller club with pool tables, a stage & dance floor. They have reasonably priced drinks…read moreserved by some of the nicest folks around. The regular crowd is friendly.
