13 Best Cocktail Bars in Arlington

“Great atmosphere, great service“

“Thankfully, North Arlington now has a wonderful, unique, locally-owned upscale dining experience! The owners are incredible, as is the food, and they may have the best sangria this side of Barcelona. The only downside to the restaurant is we always order more than we intended. We start with small plates, then order more small plates, try a new cocktail, and then maybe one more small plate! the menu is somewhat seasonal and the atmosphere is convivial. Cafe Americana lends itself to a leisurely meal -- one where you linger for a date night or to catch up with friends. Love this place!“

“The customer service from April is top notch! She takes her time to make sure the customers have a positive experience and a frozen drink they’ll enjoy.“

“I ate dinner here yesterday and was shocked and appalled to be served INSTANT MASH POTATOES. I dine out to have a nice dinner with something I don't eat at home. I won't be coming back“

“Spot on delicious. 10/10 recommend. Anything with the tuna is amazing“

“Wonderful ambience and gorgeous amenities. Definitely recommended the meeting spaces“

“Whenever I am near Arlington I make sure to stop by to get to bratwurst sandwiches with ground mustard and onions and a side of loaded tater tots. They do have a large variety of beers but since I'm not a drinker I always get a large root beer.“

“THIS FOOD IS UNDERRATED! Reviews when posting this were 4 stars overall…that’s disappointing and they deserve better! For the record, I travel about 30% of the year - not a road warrior, but enough to have experienced plenty of hotel restaurants. Let me tell you, this restaurant is another level compared to most. From the moment I arrived, Debbe, my server, greeted me and from there took excellent care of me. She checked in just the right amount of times. She made some great recommendations and I’m glad I listened! I ordered the Carne Asada Queso and a smoked Old Fashioned…both were excellent. The OF was a generous pour too 😉. The entree was the Brisket Smash Burger and I was truly impressed! Sesame seed bun, perfect balance with sauce, onion and char on burger. So often I just opt for a food delivery service when traveling. I would eat here 10 out of 10 times. Shout out to a Chefs Chris and Jose! Outstanding job and trust I’ll be back!!“

“I just want to shout out the great service of Jade on 2/28/26! She was an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so welcome. Jade was so personable and fun!“

“Great atmosphere — the vibe was really chill, not overly loud but definitely not dead either. Our server Melanie, who said she just goes by Mel, was amazing. She suggested multiple lunch items and actually took the time to describe each one. She raved about the ceviche, but I settled on the Barbacoa tacos. Wow. Don’t skip the pickled vegetables — they’re not just a garnish, they perfectly complement the food.

Mel checked on me often and made the whole experience memorable and pleasant. First time here, but I’ll definitely be back.“
