“My wife and I are regulars at Bedford Ice House. We’re here at least once a week, so we’ve had plenty of great experiences here over time. Tonight I wanted to give a shoutout to our waitress, Hailey, because she really stood out.

In my business at Sofia Lucas, I pay close attention to service and the little details that make an experience feel smooth and easy. Hailey absolutely nailed that. She was friendly, quick, and had great awareness of the table the whole time. Drinks stayed full, food came out right, and she checked in at the perfect moments without ever being overbearing.

You can tell when someone genuinely cares about the guest experience, and Hailey definitely does.

This is actually my first time leaving a review, but I felt like the service deserved it. We love coming here and I’m already looking forward to next Sunday when we’re back again.

Thanks again, Hailey.

I'm next on the pool table after I feed the jukebox for some tunes!! Later my friends!!“

“Friendly Folks!

I came in a complete stranger, and left with a few friends. I really enjoyed the Thursday and Monday night Open jams. Pork chop is a killer harmonica player, and Garret the Bartender is groovy on the bass. Sweet is an artist on the drums.

They took good care of me, and they'll treat you well too“

“The coolest dive in Arlington by far! This is a regulars bar with great bartenders and friendly customers. You can come solo and find plenty of people to chat with. They don't serve food, but you can bring your own food in/doordash there if you want. There's a cool smoking patio as well. There are always events going on (mariokart tournaments, musical bingo, movie nights, trivia, crafts, etc.) and they have an excellent local band a couple nights a week. Drinks are cheap too.“

“great karaoke. nice little dive bar“

“this place is AMAZING. GREAT STAFF! Dress up or dress down. You can have a great time no matter what. The BEST local "watering hole" in Arlington.“

“Mexican Inn is one of my to go to places for Mexican dining. From the moment they place the delicious chips on the table(my favorite is the strips that puff up because when I dip them in the hot sauce I actually get a bite of sauce) till I get my food, it is a very enjoyable experience. The food is fabulous and enough of it that I never quite eat all of it. The staff goes to great lengths to ensure that our comfort and safety because my husband who is almost 84 has mobility issues and until recently used a cane. He had a bad fall and now uses a walker to aid his stability. The first place we will when he starts getting out is Mexican Inn! Bettie Wylie“

“I went to Sunshine with my best friend one night because we were trying to explore Arlington at the time.. Long story short… i have rarely went to any other bars since that day. Every bartender has become a close friend and every customer is different. I literally have taken my grandmother here twice and she loves it. There is every type of crowd and a wide range of ages/music nightly.. cheap enough drinks that are served by bartenders who actually care. Shoutout Kate..Val.. Sean.. and Nat & Emily even tho they have since left .. 10/10 recommend!!“

“It's just the go-to dive bar for me.“

“I really enjoy coming here to chill and have a few drinks. I even met my wife here back in September 2019. good people here too“

“Heard this place was a rough spot for years and finally tried it. Staff remembers my name and drink order every time I walk in, regulars are about as friendly as a dive bar gets, the owner is usually there and is a really cool guy and a veteran to boot. Don't be a jackass and you'll probably have an amazing time!“

“drinks are awesome, great taste. didn't think we would finish our 32 oz bottles but we did 🤪“

“I was in Dallas for work, I didn’t know anyone out here so I looked for a bar to hang out at and this one was perfect. The atmosphere was there. The bartenders are really nice. I just needed to get out of the hotel but I enjoyed hanging out there would definitely recommend!“

“I visited yesterday (3/5/2026) for the first time after The Happy Armadillo was recommended by someone I meet at No Frills in Burleson. Lo and behold, she was actually there during my visit, which made my visit all the more eventful and enjoyable.
There weren't that many people, because it was about lunch time, but I absolutely love this place. It's a small, quaint, and the people are amazingly friendly. It encompasses everything I imagine when picturing a neighborhood bar.
I'm so glad the bartender (Gretchen) said they served Banquet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone. I wish they had it on tap, but the bottles did the job 😁
Thank you, Happy Armadillo. I'll be back. I'd like to try some of the food, too.“

“Sun atmosphere and great band with a friendly staff! Awesome sound man as well!“

“It's my favorite bar in the area!“

“Great Russian/Ukrainian food“

“Best bartenders, great drink prices, friendly crowd, with great karaoke.“

“Showed up for a football Sunday and great little spot. Bartenders were great and very attentive. They had free sliders and chips for the cowboys game and happy hour all day.

Wanted wings and they order those from next door. Will definitely return again.“

“Very nice restaurant in the doubletree. Convenient because I just walked downstairs and ordered food to go. Hostess was very polite and friendly and grabbed me an ice water while I waited. I only had to wait less than ten minutes. The picture does not do the black bean burger justice because it was delicious and flavorful. There were two bean Pattie’s and they were stuffed with a layer of beans, corn, peppers and onions. It was tasty and very filling.“

“Tap room is attached to grocery store with full deli counter and national coffee shop. Bar service for drinks. Bringing food and snacks from those locations is permitted. Good tap beer selection at reasonable prices and food selections are unlimited if you don't mind a few minutes of shopping. Website promotes game-day watching however the corner TVs were small and no jumbo screens. Very bright lighting is probably due to grocer affiliation. Very larger patio also has a few TVs. Patio appears to be pet friendly however no nearby relief spots due to vast grocer parking.“

“Great food, good music and good vibes. This late night spot is open until 12am Tues-Thur and open until 4am Fri-Sat. You're guaranteed to have and good time.“

“Amazing customer service! George helped us find the right Kegs for our family party. He gave us recommendations and they even have a bar to try some of the ones they have on tap. LOVE this place and highly recommend. They have a HUGE selection. 🍻“

“Top notch, one of a kind, great access to all the sporting events, and great restaurants.“

“Excelente lugar-buena música-grupos buenos-gente amable“

“In for the weekend from Arkansas.When we first walked in we were welcomed with a smile and a handshake! Very good time with awesome people!“

“It was quite laid back. Nice entertainment too. prices are feisable.“

“I've only ordered from the Fort Worth location Everytime I order different items and the food is off the chain good, I'm talking 🔥🔥🔥. I see why they have the name Loaded Tastebuds now. My Tastebuds where loving every second of eating this food. I HIGHLY Recommend this place“

“Love this bar friendly security guard good music“

“I visited this establishment a few days ago. Initially, I anticipated a small restaurant or bar, but upon entering, I discovered a surprisingly spacious venue. While it clearly requires significant renovation and care, I highly recommend it otherwise. The pricing is quite reasonable.“

“Best DJS $15 premium beer buckets we love this place my friends #1 hang out spot!“

“Hands down one of the most satisfying Southwest Egg rolls! I have ever tasted. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The fried pickles were absolutely incredible and easily the best I have tried anywhere. I am already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Probably the best club I’ve been to anywhere in TX! Chelsea behind the bar for the night shift makes for an amazing night full of solid drinks and conversation! Her positivity and social skills make sitting at the bar its own amazing experience!

There’s definitely some amazing talent here, but in terms of dancers I go there for Saki! She is incredibly beautiful, and when you mix that with her personality you’ll lose track of time pretty quickly.“

“If you're a smoker this is your place, I'm not a smoker and was invited by a coworker that is and I have to say met some of the most down to earth people! Reminded me of the show Cheers, everybody knows you're name.
Sherry the bartender walked up beside me even though I was obviously not a regular, sticks her hand out and says, Hi my name is Sherry!
Met some of the people that are regularly at the bar. Mary, Johnny and others.
Not a Non Smokers place but the service and conversation are amazing!
Thanks for the invite Tina!“

“Great place for a drink. Arlington establishment for sure!!!“

“Really solid spot to grab a drink. Good atmosphere, music was right, and overall just a chill place to hang out.

Shoutout to the bartender Blue. Super friendly, quick with drinks, and everything was made really well. You can tell they know what they’re doing and keep things running smooth even when it gets busy.

Definitely coming back! Hell of a good time! Update, met a new bartender there named Emily, shes amazing! Fast and attentive“
