Arlington Beer Garden

Summer time this is the spot! Good vibes drinks and food trucks. Love it here. There's new management and personally i prefer it

Cool place to play some games with friends, food truck food. It sure if they rotate. Good vibe.

Great location and chill cool vibes. I’ve been a few times and I have learned that the bartenders may not be professionally trained. The mixed and signature drinks are always terrible.I mean who charges $16 for a margarita that uses Sprite instead of real lime juice??? We even asked the bartender why he was using Sprite. I have no intention on going back but if I do, I will stick to their can alcoholic beverages.

I can’t say enough about how awesome this place is . It’s hands down the best bar in Arlington. They have so many different outdoor games including corn hole, Can pong, beer pong and really comfortable outdoor seating. The staff was extremely friendly and the vibe and music were on point. If you are in the DC area, do yourself a favorite and stop by Arlington Beer Garden.

Hearing “bring that shit” a millions times at 8pm on a Sunday night across the neighborhood is a whole different kind of annoying. This place needs to take cues from the old Lot and stop trying to be a club calling itself a beer garden

Really cool set up. Love the outdoor atmosphere and plenty of space for games and mingling. Surprisingly good foot at both food trucks - Salem’s and Finishing Touches!

This place was a blast! The best part was the atmosphere and the service. The drinks were a little bit on the price side but reasonable price considering the area. I highly recommend this beer garden for drinks with friends guaranteed good times and good vibes.😎

Yeah this is ridiculous. Hire some more bartenders to adequately serve your guests. We all paid 30 dollars to stand in line to get alcohol for over an hour! The line for food is the same. 4 hour tequila festival = 2 hour lines no food no drinks. Dope set up terrible execution! Then they kicked us out

I came to the Beer Garden for an AfroCaribbean event last weekend. It's been scorching in the DMV, and I was thrilled they had ample shaded seating throughout the area. It's a pretty spacious venue with comfortable seating, but it doesn't have much else going for it. The organizers supplied all the entertainment/things to do, as I'm sure most do for this venue. There were multiple food trucks on site, as well as a bar.

Came for a Tequila Festival. I'm not sure if the cocktail prices were for the Event or standard Beer Garden Someone please explain this receipt to me!! We got 2 Golden Sage.. which I think was like $16 a piece We got 2 cocktails and 2 shots = $68.00 Wtf is "rocks" for $16?????? Automatic 20% gratuity for mixed cocktail drinks ($12.36) TOTAL = $83.45 Also, i didn't get a chance to view the itemized receipt or that gratuity was included until I emailed myself the receipt Seems very deceptive

I drove past the place a couple of times so decided to go on a Saturday. They were in the middle of a happy hour with an outdoor dj blasting music. I guess they happy hour is from 3-6 and the cans were about $5 during HH and drafts $6. It is always weird why they do not have prices on the menu. There are reserved sections with comfy chairs and tvs, but also regular picnic tables with some games and a sand area. It gives we put a bunch of stuff to cover this parking lot, but it was not a bad vibe. For a Saturday afternoon though, they did tend to be out of a number of things. I would not mind hanging out on a nice day there.

This is a nice chill spot that has various promotions throughout the week. Enjoy Brazilian, Latin, Afro beats to a family fun day. The margaritas were weak ($16) but maybe it was that bartender. The staff is friendly and attentive. They typically have food trucks available.

Enjoyed a really nice dog event here on a Thursday night. They have some good cocktails and a nice outdoor space. They also have a food truck for those that need some food with their alcohol! Service was awesome! You're able to walk up to any of the bars and order! You're also able to start a tab if you like.

If you enjoy hanging out in a mostly empty outdoor parking lot that is absolutely blasting music for no apparent reason, maybe this is your vibe. Honestly, I can't wait until this lot is redeveloped. I live a few blocks away, and can hear the music like it's playing in my own house from mid-afternoon through 1AM on weekends -- despite, shall we say, a lack of clientele. Right now, they are playing Vanessa Carlton -- ABG -- why blast Vanessa Carlton? She's a talented lady, but not exactly club music.

Spacious, fun, and cool venue. Love the outdoorsy vibe and had a great time with my girl friends. :)

Listen to the bad reviews. I was skeptical so I had to check it out and it is as bad as it says! I never write reviews but it's crazy awful. The place is dirty. The bartender helped himself to a very generous tip and didn't tell me that he did that. He proceeded to ask me to leave a tip on the iPad while he watched. Two well drinks for $28.36?!? Go literally anywhere else in Clarendon

A beer garden with 6 domestics on tap?.... Sure. Ordered the orange crush which on the menu states uses grey goose orange vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and Sierra Mist. I watched the bartender pour 3/4 of a shot worth of rail plain vodka and a 1/4 shot of rail orange vodka, add orange juice, and top it off with water. I was honestly speechless. If the $13 drink claims to have decent liquor I expect decent liquor. Why not sell them for $10 and keep using the cheap stuff?? At least that's honest. They obviously don't think highly of their customers or care about their quality. Don't get scammed by this place. Enjoy one of the other 10 bars that treat their customers with respect in Arlington.

Truly enjoy going here. They have a very expansive choice of drinks and ample seating, not to mention the games and places to take the all important selfie. Staff is always friendly and professional from the bartenders and barbacks, to the bouncers and the DJs. Also, it's one of the few places where you can smoke a hookah under the night sky.

Went to a Meetup event here - godawful experience. I want my time and money back Pros: - Good selection of booze - Plenty of seating area - Relatively well-staffed Cons: - EXTREMELY pricey for what it offers (club level prices) - Rigid, club-like social experience (milage may vary) - Annoying, middle school club music - Fried, gross food - Long food service waits - Cheap decor did NOT hide the ugly atmosphere - Heavy doses of insecure heteromasculunity While it was advertised as a "warm community experience" it was about as far from as possible. This wannabe club venue was NOT the right place to meet people. Loud, annoying music pumped the whole time, people sat in individual groups and rarely spent time mixing - mixing that did happen happened at the front of the dance floor and did not feel natural. Most of the guys there were vineyard vines-wearing fratheads. Drinks and food were extraordinarily overpriced. The food was a greasy, fried abomination that made me sick afterwards. It took so long to make that the several people waiting (including me) finally had to demand they give us the food (it was prepared and just sitting there). The area is akin to an industrial pit. The seating was okay, but mostly just picnic benches. Needless to say the "warm community comfort" feel left a lot to be desired. This gave me flashbacks in all the wrong ways. Unless you are already going with a friend group, have eaten BEFORE, want an outdoor clubbing experience in an industrial pit, and are ready to sit through a night of middle school dance music, I would avoid like the plague.

"Rebranded" The Lot but didn't change literally anything. Drinks are overpriced and calling it a beer garden is just wrong when there's only 6 things on draft. The music is also always club-like and doesn't suite the vibe in the middle of the day. I would not recommend, there's so many better spots in walking distance.

Good atmosphere and well decorated. All the tips were added automatically (which is fine I guess but I would've liked to know lol). Drinks were kinda small but I thought over all it was good :)

We stopped in on a Friday night about 7ish. We were curious to see if they had actually turned this into a beer garden or just slapped a new name on the sign. We grabbed two 12oz beers from the bar after standing in line for nearly 15 min and somehow ended up paying $24 before tip? I didn't catch it initially so when we went back I noticed a service charge even though it doesn't say anywhere that they include gratuity. So if you're tipping, notice that you're tipping on top of what's already included. There weren't many choices for draft beer, but they did have Mango Cart and Big Wave, which are 2 of my favorite patio beers, so plus a star for that. I heard the bartender talking to someone behind us about happy hour pricing but they didn't have it advertised anywhere nor did they offer it to us so apparently there are some sort of specials but couldn't find anything about it. It's about the same as The Lot was, even though they have a "hookah bar" and "bottle service." I use quotations because it was an odd set-up to me. It felt like they were trying to turn this parking lot into an outdoor club venue and it's just not happening. There were also several staff members walking around and videoing and taking pictures as if they were club promoters. As a female, I felt uncomfortable because it was happening pretty often and it was always men filming from their cellphones and getting very close to us. Many of the picnic tables were reserved, so if you have a group or would like to sit down at some point, you probably want to reserve one ahead of time if you know you're going there. Overall, I wish it was better because the outdoor space is a nice change from a bar but the pricing and vibe didn't do it for me.
