Been here many, many times at lunch and after 5pm. Always a great beer and wine selection. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great prices and you can bring your food from the buffet downstairs. Brilliant for everyone especially those with children. Makes grocery shopping so much more pleasurable.

Parking in the lot is a nightmare. Park in he underground lot across the street and get it validated!

Lovely spot inside Whole Foods Clarendon. They have sandwiches, a variety of coffee and tea drinks, and a surprising amount of space. Nice place to hang out and listen to the hustle and bustle of shoppers below.

Here for the UVA game and there's no servers and only 2 bartenders. No plates or silverware for food orders and have to beg at the bar for beer , sorry but they're definitely not prepared and no manager in sight

Best craft beer prices in north Arlington and great daily food specials. The beer flight is a particularly good move. Laid back, friendly staff. Yes it's in Whole Foods but you can eat whatever you buy in WF so it can be very cheap eats.

This used to be a great place. Now they only serve the beers & wines they must be trying to unload. 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.

If you like eating dead animals, you're in luck. If you don't-you're SOL. Why Whole Foods? Why?
Great experience, I love the open space, it has a clean and new feel. Service was perfect, plenty of good brews on tap, all the NFL games on giant tv's, and food was excellent! Highly recommend for a game, a meal, or just a cold beer thank you R-BAG!!!

Sometimes I wish Yelp would allow for two reviews of the same place. On the one hand, I love the Arlington Pub as a place to come and have a coffee or a beer, relax and have a casual meal or work on my computer. It's a great place for that--plenty of places to sit, good coffee and an interesting selection of beers. Good food too! But, I'm giving this a two star review on the off chance that the Whole Foods management reads their Yelp reviews. I am annoyed to no end that the place is always disgusting. The table tops and floors are rarely cleaned. Every time I come in the first thing I do is go into the bathroom, wet some paper towels and come back to bus my table top. Every. Single. Time. I don't get it. I've lived in the Clarendon area since 2009 and I'm a regular at Whole Foods. The store is terrific and very well run. But it's as though the Pub is managed by another outfit entirely. I used to assume that it was the people who worked there who were slacking but now I can only conclude that this is a management problem, since there have been a variety of people working the Pub over the years while this issue remains constant. Whole Foods: I know the pub is busy and people are messy. But come on, this is so simple. Run someone through there now and again to wipe down the tables and sweep up the debris. Ask the people from behind the bar to occasionally pop out to tend to the rest of the place. As I write this the people who arrived at the next table over just grabbed a bunch of napkins to clean the table and chairs where they will sit down to eat. No surprise.

I won't waste your time with my opinion! As you see from the comments below, everyone's opinion varies and it's based on their personal expectations... go for yourself, judge for yourself!

What an underrated and awesome spot! I've been going here for 3 years, and whenever I tell my friends I'm headed to Whole Foods Pub.... I'm given blank stares and met with great reluctance on their committal to come. It's clean, quick service, lot's of space, affordable, and there are several TVs for sports. Drinks are $1 off during Happy Hours.

A nice place for a beer and some oysters. They change their beers regularly, so there is always something new and interesting.
