“ Best bartender in Arlington, Mikey! He is a legend, just go into this place to see him. ”
“ Cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, great ambiance (dive bar-ish with average age maybe 26 on a Saturday night), and excellent fried pickles. What else could you want? ”
“ I guess you could call us "pinheads"! My hubby and I were looking for a great place to rack up some time on some Sterns Connected pinball tables, this is definitely one of the best in DC! Several tables, a few with the 3 plays for $2. The beer selection is great, and staff are super helpful and engaged despite having lots of patrons to manage. It's a happening place! Last but not least, food was really tasty after punching our names on some leaderboards. Thanks Carpool! We will be back! ”
“ Great place to watch a game or sit outside on the patio! They have great happy hour deals Monday-Friday 4-7pm. The bartenders go above and beyond and are always very friendly. ”
“ I came here after a track workout to social with the running team. We sat at the outside picnic tables and were able to order at the bar window. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and fries. I got tenders and fries to-go for my husband. The food was fresh and hot. The thin-sliced fries were delicious and salty. I also enjoyed a Port City Optimal Wit. I would come back here again for food or brews! ”
“ Decent beer selection, and friendly bartenders. This review is based on a happy hour where all I got were a few beers. They had quite a few on tap and even more in cans. Based on my experience I'd definitely return to try the food. It seemed like they had a good selection of typical bar food. Just a heads up that the wine selection isn't great so don't go for that! ”
“ I came here after I heard they had a lot of pinball machines. It's kind of out of the way for me, but there's no choice since Vuk's in Bethesda closed. They have a good number of machines, but not really ones that I like that much. No Monster Mash. No Medieval Madness. No South Park. For a full list, just go to the Pinball Map app. For all the most selection, you have to go all the way to Mom's in College Park. The cost to play is also expensive -75 cents or 1.00 for most (bring cash or change). Vuk's used to be 25 cents. I guess these prices match the Arlington area. However if you're lucky, you will get some free plays left over from other players who have abandoned a machine. Other than that, the garage theme was cool. It reminded me of The Garage bar in Culver City. ”
“ Great sports bar with games and pretty decent food! We ordered the nachos (which was a pretty hefty portion size) and the chicken tenders both of which were tasty! The chicken tenders came with an interesting shaped french fries which I didn't love but wasn't bad. I do really wish I ordered this buffalo style (which is dressed in buffalo sauce) as I saw someone else order this and it looked so good. This place has tons of tvs which is really great for any game days and it has a nice atmosphere (not too crowded which I appreciate)! ”
“ Really fun vibe on Saturday night we had delicious beers on tap. The wing, nachos and calamari was great the calamari were unique and delicious the sauce that comes with them is super good and the runner kindly brought us more. The best part was the bartender my brother and I agree the olds bartenders behind the bar were the owners because they probably were out off staff member like every one's in the hospitality industry. But anyway they both old man were awesome and super friendly great jobs old man's. We will definitely keep coming back good time. ”
