50 Best Pubs near Arlington

“My entire group loved the atmosphere and the food was awesome! The staff was excellent, prompt, kind and engaging! Will definitely be going back!“

“What a great spot waitress was the best“

“One of the better locations in my opinion! This location has a cafe where you can sit down and eat food that you buy from the hot bar, or a pizza by the slice. So in addition to buying groceries, you can also sit down and eat! Not to mention that there is also a bar as well.“

“Stayed at the Holiday Inn so we ate here and were pleasantly surprised! The yuca fries and crab dip were so good! The fries are really crispy and the sauce is creamy and a little spicy. The house red on the happy hour menu was also good for $6. Wasn't busy at all on a Monday during happy hour, but the service was great and prompt.“

Ever since moving to in/around this area, I've been looking for a low-key, all-are-welcome, and generally kind place to relax after a long day.

Here it is.“

“First timer here but my children aren’t . They live in Arlington.“

“Great bar with great vibes and even better employees. I truly cannot convey how grateful I am for the amazing employees at this bar! After fainting at the bottom of the stairs Friday night, the employees all immediately sprang into action, making sure that I was ok and asking questions while they called for paramedics. They even knew that I hadn’t been drinking, properly conveying that I was having a true medical issue. The first thing I remember is one of them telling me that I wasn’t alone and everything was going to be ok. Fainting episodes are always very disorienting and even painful for me, but everyone made me feel completely safe and comforted. They ensured no onlookers made me uncomfortable or laughed, really minimizing my immense embarrassment about the whole experience. They were so respectful, and one man in particular truly took care of me the entire time. Honestly, I’m sure they did even more than I was aware of, and I am so grateful for their assistance. This is an absolutely amazing bar that simply put my safety above all else. I have never been treated with such genuine care, thoughtfulness, and kindness during a fainting episode. My only regret is not getting any of their names to properly thank them for their help, so I really hope they see this! Your help meant the world to me, and I cannot wait to tell all of my friends to come to The Commodore!“

“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!“

“I have chicken wings ring ring Chris Rock they would really really good I had a good time there“

“it's like cheers, wherever you live!“

“Great selection of beer on tap, lots of wine and cocktail options, along with non-alcoholic beverages. I was welcome to bring food from downstairs and eat it at the bar while enjoying some brews. There are utensils, still and sparkling water, napkins etc“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“This continues to be the best little seminary pub in the world. The staff is excellent. The food is great. The people are all happy. I first told my wife I love her outside on what is now the patio. It's a very special place. If you're reading this you should go, have a blast, and tip lavishly.“

“Nadi is amazing. Been going to Queens for 20 years 🙂‍↕️🫶🏽“

“My family and I enjoyed a great and fun lunch. The appetizer and entrees were delicious. The waitstaff and hostess were excellent and friendly. We will be back to dine again in the future.“

“The food was not good and service was subpar. Seemed like it was an okay place, but didn't have enough tables and was very small inside. Came late and on a few occasions when last call came, there were always 10 to 15 people still inside after the male bartender told everyone else to leave. He locked the door with always others left inside. I've observed this happening on a number of occasions. So last call, isn't apparently last call, and why were some staying when everyone else was told to leave?“

“The best place to see new music from everywhere on earth“

“come on out, best dive bar ever!“

“You won’t go wrong with anything 🦚❤️👍🏻“

“Great place for mussels!“

“Please come out October the 29th for the Halloween Sip&Paint party the cost is $50.00 per adult“

“So, here's the thing...feeling welcomed as soon as you walk in to a place you have never been before means so much. My husband and I were visiting DC. We were checking out places to eat near our hotel. We stopped in at Tune Inn. It was packed! The bar and all tables were full. The bartender welcomed us right away even though he was super busy. He told us to order a beer and hang out...the next table was ours. He handed us a happy hour drink menu and we did just that. Our waitress was on the ball. She was handling more tables than humanly possible but she made it look easy. Food was delicious!!!! An excellent find on our trip and obviously busy for a reason.“

“All I can say is the only thing better than the outstanding food is the incredible customer service. The next time we are on DC, I will go out if my way to visit one of the locations.“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Very good beer, about 12 on tap at a time. The brewery is small but has a nice atmosphere and very clean bathrooms. There were several fun activities listed on the monthly calendar as well. The flight is a bit pricey, but I would definitely go back!!!“

“So definitely not what you expect outside looking in. The bar like atmosphere is very chill, from the music to the seating. Pick a comfy couch with a table or regular comfortable seats at a table (equally comfortable). The lighting low and all good vibes. The food was delicious we forgot to take pictures, but the kimchi pancake (kimchi jeon) the Korean fried chicken and the bulgolgi quesadilla were all delicious. We like Korean better than anything else so we had Krush with honey do soju aka (somaek) the two were great together. The staff was awesome, and very chill (if you need constant attention from your server this is not the place for you, honestly). We loved the service, food and drinks came out in a reasonable time. I also had the Hechi (cocktail) it was delicious. Ordering isn't them coming to ask but an electronic screen with the full menu with pictures so very easy to order. Overall an awesome experience and will definitely be back!!!“

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“Chill neighborhood bar. Great beers and an actually tasty pina colada…“

“The last 2 years at Murphy’s on New Year’s Eve were really great. We were surprised at how delicious our meals were, steak so tender you cut cut it with a fork. Pohemia is such a fun and friendly band. The perfect place for NYE.“

“One of our all time favorites!“

“Kyra, Kyra , Kyra !!!!!! Wowowowowowo !!!!! Friendly, gorgeous, and man can she make a drink !!!! 10 stars to her !!!!! Keep up the good work !!!!! Go see her when u are in town!!! U will not be disappointed!!!! Food and drinks are all top notch!!!!! Thanks so much !!!!🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥“

“Great pub for watching NFL, NCAA, Soccer any sport! Great staff bar tenders, for bar food not bad. The beer is cold! Watched several games here, always a good time, outside seating, and also has a TV.“

“Wonderful people and place.“

“Once you go, you are family!“

“muy buen servicio gracias por ser muy amables“

“A 501(c)(3) non-profit bar, where you can drink for a good cause! Good Belgian beers. NO TV! Cell phones discouraged. Real live, face-to-face, human-to-human communication instead of screen-to-screen or screaming at television B.S. Live music. Open mics and jams. Good conversations.“

“What a great place! I arrived early in the morning to watch a Six Nations game that they were streaming (a rare feat for American bars). They had no food, and not even milk for coffee. Just alcohol (marvellous). The bartender very kindly ran out to the store in the middle of the game to get us milk! No funny business, just kind, chatty people who are rugby lovers. Rustic and simple. I’m planning on going every week for a morning Guinness (or a $4 mimosa! Bargain!) 😉“

“A little piece of Ireland in the heart of Cleveland Park.“
