I recently visited B Live and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The atmosphere was lively and fun, and the seasonal cocktails were absolutely delicious. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable, and really helped to make the experience even more enjoyable. I particularly loved the OG Burger, but the Patron tree was definitely the star of the show. The overall vibe of the place was great and I would definitely recommend B Live to anyone looking for a fun night out with friends especially if you're a fan of live music! I'm already planning my next visit!

Blive was absolutely amazing! The food was so fresh! The staff was so kind! Special shoutout to Emily who took great care of us! The food was super affordable and the restaurant decor was an absolute vibe! I will 100% come back here again. The chicken tender and fries portion was amazing for the price! The patron Christmas tree was fantastic and great for a group as it came with four different flavors so something for everyone! The Peruvian wings were cooked to perfection and seasoned so well! Finally, the Mac and cheese croquettes were the Mac and cheese bites of your dreams!

Service was slow at first. But our waitress stepped up and he had a ball for our 1st time. Chicken and waffles gave DMV flavor vibes with a touch of Old Bay, and the mimosas were great, esp the Grapefruit! Update for the Brunch Sunday May 7 2023. Met a few friends for an impromptu brunch. The bottomless brunch food was Meh...the salad and Salmon were the better options other than the crableg add on. Main complaint was that we were told the brunch was ending early (with no advance notice) to accommodate patrons for an upcoming event. Would have been nice to have been given the option for a last call, or even had this mentioned when we were seated.

For those of you who are looking for a great classic American meal with great prices, a fun vibe, great service and instagram-worthy cocktails, look no further. Dare I say, B Live has some of the best food I’ve had in Arlington, if not the best burger I’ve had in the DMV! So far, I have visited twice and have ordered the Pretzel, Chicken Wings, Mac and Cheese croquettes, the “OG” and “Oh my Truffle” burgers with fries. I watched the movie “The Menu” recently and the OG burger completely satisfied my hard craving for a cheeseburger! The fries are incredibly delicious and perfectly seasoned, even great leftover! I’m not a pretzel gal, but I ate it up which is saying a lot. The cheese sauce it comes with is big and I definitely recommend dipping more than just the pretzel into it! Now… the mac n cheese croquettes are my favorite app. I’m a die-hard mac and cheese lover and these are a slam dunk. Our table kept talking about the chicken wings, we got the Peruvian flavor and were stunned how they can have grilled/fried wings (it’s hard to comprehend so just go it them you’ll see what I’m talking about lol). All in all I love visiting B Live for great food and a great time with friends. Definitely take time to go and order many things to try!

The vibe and the band were great. The drinks were strong and delicious and the staff was very friendly. I didn’t try the food but it looked like typical bar food.

Christmas pop up is SO cute and I love that it's in NoVA. Drinks were phenomenal, but the food was what shocked us. Looking at the menu, it's typical bar food and lots of burger options...but we were so pleasantly surprised how good it was! The Peruvian wings knocked us out the park, burger was tasty and pretzel w/beer cheese is a must if you go! Mac & cheese croquettes were good, standard imo but good bar food. Drinks we're delightful! ❄️ Down the chimney (smokey, flavourful) ❄️ Mrs. Clause chocolate martini (great classic) ❄️ Snowman on Vacay (STRONG, fruity) ❄️ CEREAL SHOOTERS Strong & unique way to end the evening but I'd reccomend not mixing all the cereal in it cause it was hard to swallow LOL Overall B Live gets a 10/10 & will 100% come back here. - IG @ SpicyAivy

I went to Blive not knowing what to expect. Whitlows had been a long time favorite of mine, I originally went there in 1998 for $1 draft nights on Thursdays with some friends for the first time and fell in love with the place. Being involved in with music and DJing my whole life this place was certainly unique vibe given that is all about music. You are guaranteed to see at least one artist you know on the wallpaper. The legends live forever mural of famous dead rockers is definitely a nice touch. My family and I went there for brunch and the food is absolutely amazing, but be sure to save some room for dessert because they have a peanut butter pie that is too die for. I had a smoked omelette that was cooked perfectly. They also have a wide variety of drinks 🍹 that are amazing like the mimosa tower to share with friends. Make sure to be safe and take an Uber. Given that my brunch experience was so amazing I went back with some friends to enjoy some of the live band entertainment the next Saturday and the place was packed. Overall the experience was great both times and I will be frequenting this establishment quite often.

Please do your research if you’re coming here from TikTok. These restaurants look aesthetically pleasing and are far from worth it. We ordered the patron margarita tower … discovers mid drink there was a huge bug in our drink. We then get our burgers .. hangover burger and they were MUSHY PINK AND RAW. Our server was nice and apologetic but we had to ask for the drinks to be taken off it wasn’t offered. One of my drinks tasted like soap. I try not to be that person but between the drinks food and lack of cleanliness someone is going to get seriously sick.

What a waste of so much potential. The inside looks so sick, only to be leveled no one ever in there. I wanted this place to do so well. It seemed like a cool idea for a bar with live music, and a sort of punk rock feel. Think of Floyds Barbershop decor, but make it a bar with a big stage. Not sure why this was put where it was. Clarendon isnt exactly a punk rock scene or much besides gingham patterns and patagonia vests. B Live would be much better suited in DC with different clientele. I wanted this to be THE spot to hear metal or anything, but I will be shocked it stays open in 2024.

B Live is a restaurant housed in the old Whitlow's space, which I miss even more after this visit. A group of friends and I dined here for brunch. The menu has a few a la carte options available, and they also have a bottomless brunch buffet option, with the option to add on crab legs. The way it's advertised on the menu, it makes it seem as though the crab legs are also bottomless. HOWEVER, that is not the case. It's $12 PER PLATE, and each plate only contains one cluster of steamed crab legs. I think they need to make this more clear on the menu and website. During our time there, I heard multiple tables in addition to ours inquire about the "bottomless" crab legs option, only to be disappointed when we were told the cost is per plate. Once again, I really miss Whitlow's, who had actual bottomless crab legs at brunch. Aside from the misleading menu, the brunch itself was pitiful. The baked salmon did not look cooked. The mac and cheese lacked flavor, and the fried chicken was nasty. The eggs were also bland, and the bacon wasn't cooked well. The only thing I really enjoyed were the random meatballs that they served, and the basic Greek salad. Even the parfait was nasty - I'm not sure what type of yogurt it was, but I was surprised that a parfait could taste so bad. The snow crab legs were supposed to be steamed, but it's was still cold. There was actually ice on one of the clusters we received. The only redeeming part of my experience was the live music (the musician was really good!), the Bellini, and our server, Matt. This is the only reason they are getting 2 stars. Otherwise, I truly regret eating here for brunch and would not recommend it.

My friends & I came to B-Live for brunch. We were eager to dine and experience a breath of fresh air in a new space as the beloved Whitlows restaurant closed. Sadly, we were I credibly mistaken. The food: Pretty much everything food related was disgusting & bad! The crab legs for many of my friends were FROZEN or really cold. The salmon was tasteless. The meat balls were raw. The salad dressing was pretty much mayo. The butter itself froze up after sitting on the table for longer than 5 minutes. ***Also, speaking of the crabs, the menu is very deceptive.The crab clusters are NOT bottomless. It's $12 per cluster and not even remotely worth it. So do not expect the clusters to be bottomless like the rest of the brunch.*** Service & Ambiance: The service/restaurant was pretty backed up, so it took forever to receive a waffle or barbecue sauce. The ambiance is pretty okay. It seems more tailored to musical legends of past generations. The only saving grace was mimosas, and the waiter was nice. Even the live music was crappy. I do NOT recommend this place and will not be returning. Seriously, do not waste your money. The clear issue is the management & the chef. There should be NO reason why there is only ONE waffle maker in the entire restaurant and for it to be made to order, thus causing a massive back-up. It doesn't make sense. Why not just have the waffle maker by the brunch buffet? No spoons nor syrup at the brunch station. The nerve to rush us out of our table when we had to wait 30+ minutes for certain items to come out is ridiculous. I hope they read this review as constructive criticism to improve.

Is it Fellas/Girls night? Look no further this is the place. I randomly found this spot on a Sat. Night. I walked in not knowing what to expect. Now This is my kind of place. Good variety of music, it was loud but you could still have a convo, good vibes, friendly bartenders, the crowd was starting to arrive. They had a band. Cool music art all over the wall. The menu selection was simple and straight to the point. Drink prices were questionable. Lucky a brand ambassador for a beer was giving complimentary drinks. I had the Chicken burger w onion rings it was spicy to my liking which made it delicious. I will definitely come back and take more photos. I guess My bad decision made a great story Message to owner A spot like this would do very well in Columbia, MD near Merriweather.

This place has really gone downhill since they "rebranded". The entire building from the outside patio, to the inside decor, is a disaster. It was so fun before they fired the previous staff and neglected the business entirely. 'Beach Bar Live' is the new name of BLive, and the majority of people I've spoken with don't even know that the place is open. The entire place is a failure. Save your money and go ANYWHERE else.

What a fantastic gem! Great drinks, great grub and really fantastic decor and style! The comedy shows have been amazing and the music nights are great! Solid service with really dedicated staff.

Really enjoyed the food. We had went to B live for burgers and they were delicious. The burgers were well season with a delicious side of fries. We had ordered the wings as appetizers, those were also delicious. The burgers were very filling and perfectly cooked. The service was great! The servers were very nice and attentive. There was no long wait for the food, it had came out in a timely manner. The place Al's have very cool vibes. The theme is rock and roll where they have live music at night and the decor was centered around various musicians. They also have a selfie light with an iPad where you can take fun pictures or create gif and send the photos to your email. It's a great place to go with friends to have really good drinks, brunch or just a delicious burger. Definitely recommend and would go again.

Went here 12/18/22 for brunch. Tik Tok made me do. In efforts to get in the holiday spirit this was my location of choice based on the Tik Tok. Parked in the garage because there was no street parking available. The hostess was seated on her iPad I said excuse me so I could get her attention. She looked up with a bothered expression advised my reservation was 12:30pm but just touched down at 12:50pm. It was still fairly empty. No Christmas music was playing. The TVs were loud with sports and whenever someone scored the guest were hype. Felt like I walked into an sports bar. Our server came over shortly to introduce herself. Let me say she turned our experience around. She was pleasant and patient. She provided recommendation based on what we wanted. She was the only server for the duration of my visit. We ordered the Margarita tree. The margarita tree was watered down with ice. My friend said she taste the alcohol but baby not me. I must be an alcoholic after the birth of my baby. For food I ordered the hangover burger and my friend ordered the smoked omelette. The hangover burger disappointed. I was expecting so much more with all the fixings that came with it. The sunny side egg wasn't sunny at all. No running egg. They could of seasoned the Pattie's to give the burger some flavor. It was nasty. Had a couple of bites and was over it. My friend said her smoke omelette was good which I have to believe cause she ate it all. The potatoes that accompanied both meals were crispy but the seasoning was on there but I could taste it only see it. This place is good for groups. I wont be back cause it's not my scene.

Keeping in mind this is just a bar....I am leaving 5 stars. Not 5 stars like Le Diplomate, but good at what it is! Good service, good happy hour specials. I enjoyed the Christmas menu. The cocoa pebbles cereal shooter was awesome! My friends also liked the fruity pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch shooters! And my friend had a burger and it looked good plus I sampled and can say the fries were crispy and well seasoned.

This place sucks now. It used to be such a fun night life go out place with the best bands and drink prices. Now it's just a pathetic waste of space and a horribly boring atmosphere.

B live is a great spot to catch food on a Saturday when everywhere else is booked. The spot itself is very much picture worthy, although the food is pretty basic. The drinks are unique and good but if your looking for an active brunch spot I would say this is more of a family ambiance.

The atmosphere of B-Live when you walk in looks like it would be a great time on a weekend, with live music & nothing but vibes. A friend of mine and myself caught the Friday night Happy Hour special & ordered strawberry lemonade mule to start. Which were great!! May or may not have gotten a brain freeze... I do wish that I had nicer things to say about their Happy Hour/Dinner menu. Everything that my friend and I ordered while dining in was...Well, Bland. All except for the Turkey Club. The friend that ordered that dish spoke highly of it but I'm not quite sure you can mess up a sandwich. I on the other hand chose to go with the Shrimp Fra Diavolo Pasta. There was garlic in there for flavor and that may have been the only thing that gave this dish any sea. Based on everyone else's reviews maybe I should have gone to brunch instead. I was a bit disappointed and underwhelmed.

I had my birthday party here and had the best time ever! We coordinated with the GM eloise and when we showed up she had our table set up with food and drinks. Food was great. Her professionalism and great attitude made my birthday so special. The entire staff was great. Bartenders and security were awesome and the band Summer of George was so fun. Thank you B Live

Hours both on their website and online are not correct. We came by at 4pm since that's what their website said they opened but no one was there. We ate at Buena Vida close by then saw they were open when we were done around 5:45pm. When we asked, they said they were still figuring it out and hours on Google weren't correct (forget to let them know that we saw their hours on their website too). We decided to have a snack and drinks to finish off the night. The drinks were good and atmosphere was fun!

food, service, ambiance --- IMMACULATE! Blive is now one of my favorite bars in VA. The burgers are a must have and the drinks were so tasty. Everything is delicious and the staff was EXCELLENT! check them out!

I visited during the Christmas themed menu and B-Live was decorated so cute! I ordered the Snowman on vacay (pineapple fruity drink) and Ms.Clause chocolate martini ( tasty adult chocolate milk) and the table shared the patron Christmas tree & the margaritas were bomb. For food I ordered the "Oh my truffle" and it's my favorite burger, I've gotten it twice now and will continue to order it as long as it's on the menu. Not pictured but the pretzel with cheese was also really good ! It's hard to find a good cheese dip but B-Live delivered. All in all, I had a great meal. & we finished it off with the cereal shooters. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch which was delicious but make sure to use the cereal as a chaser because its kinda strong!

Parked in front of the business a few days ago, seen it getting worked on but had absolutely no idea how much, time.. work.. or money went into this very large Resturant/Bar/Venue. Like wow!!! Everything was completely different, so clean, so up to date, def picture worth and omgggggg the food. When I say I have never had fries in my 31 years of life be this good, traveling all over the world, being a child that require chicken nuggets and friends for dinner for the 1/3 of my life. LISTEN TO ME: THEY HAVE THE BEST FOOD IN ALL OF ARLINGTON!!! YOU PAY FOR WHAT YUU IT Y GET; AND YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, ITS ARLINGTON AND ITS LITERALLY GOING TO CHANGE UR ENERGY, I WAS EAT SINGING DANCING, SWAYING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT HAPPIER AS A LITTLE KID AT WILLY WANKA CHOCLATE FACTORY.. Recommendations: Snack // Mac and cheese croquettes Salad // Greek with grilled steak Ceaser dressing Sammies // Po' Boy (shrimp/calamari/n bacon) Supper // Steak and Frites // WHAT I GOT!!! N I didn't get a desert but I attached pictures because these folks did that and we totally deserve a better place then the few taking over with mediocre recipes and horrible service because everyone knows the bouncers.. Yea, I went there and did that!! You're welcome and remember if they asked you ; "how did you hear about us, tell me "Lola taught me" !!! LOL

The service was terrible. They had one bartender who had an attitude. They had one server taking the orders. Food and drinks nasty and no heat. Very disappointing. Thumbs down. The only thing that was okay was the decor and ambiance. Waste of money.

I'm not even lying to you when I say, hands down one of my favorite brunches I've ever had! From the vibes, to the food, to the service... everything legit. The aesthetic was so fun and fresh with the theme paying homage to some music greats with their wall artwork. The pancakes were so flavorful and fluffy and the chocolate chips just added on some more sweet bites. The eggs Benedict was full of flavor, so cheesy and again... FULL OF FLAVOR. Lol the marg-mosa tree did exactly what it needed to do, because I was definitely feeling a nice buzz after leaving. It's nestled on a street full of other shops and restaurants but you have to try here! They also have a photo booth that you can take pictures with your group of friends or heh just by yourself if you'd like it! Amazing experience and I can't wait to go back!

B Live is fantastic! The food was super delicious!! Everyone loved the food! We were a party of 12 and everyone loved this place! The service was excellent and the waitress was very pleasant and gracious even when a drink was spilt!! The drinks were yummy and the prices were very reasonable. The music was exactly the right volume as to not overwhelm & we could carry on a conversation! We will be returning frequently!

We went here for girls night and it was amazing! The drinks and food are to die for.. get the club sandwich! The service was top notch and the manager even stopped by to see how we were doing. The overall experience was a 10/10. I'll definitely be going back!

Nichelle T.

Yelp
This place when you walk in smells like old wet dirty mop. But giving them the benefit of the doubt, we stayed. The price of the food is not worth the portion size. Trivia was bland and no one was excited. For this place to be open only a few months, it's mediocre, if that!

Reviewing based on night visits to the bar with bands and DJ playing. Everything looks nice and clean since the renovation and rebranding of the building. Drinks are expensive and still as hard to be served as when it was whitlows. New layout is open and interesting yet somehow makes the space smaller and more crowded. Big reason why I rated how I did is due to the new design positioning the stage and dance floor in a way that makes it impossible to get to the bathrooms without rubbing by countless sweaty drunk patrons while trying to not slip and fall on the new black and white ceramic tiles that are always covered in moisture from spilled drinks, condensate dripping from the hvac, and sweat. The music and DJ were all over the place in terms of genera. It seems like the bar has not claimed it's identity yet. Hopefully it will find it soon and not end up like the G.O.A.T. or other places in Clarendon that have failed.

We stopped for brunch on a Saturday and had the Cali Eggs Benedict and the burger. Both dishes were very tasty and on point. Loved the mix of flavors of the egg benedict and the potatoes that come with it as well as the biscuit! Amazing combination! Burger was delicious too. Service was friendly. We will be back!

Vee C.

Yelp
The brunch here is just not good. I wanted to love this place when I noticed it is where Whitlow's used to be but the brunch buffet is just not good. The servers were nice enough, but I won't be back. I spent nearly $50 and ended up stopping for a sub on my way home. With the ambiance and vibe of the place, the owners should consider making this a happy hour/nightlife bar.

This is a brand new spot in the Clarendon neighborhood of Arlington that my friends and I were very excited to try. We went for a Saturday afternoon brunch and the place was busy but not packed by any means. The service was slow and disjointed; 4 of the 6 within our group received drinks quickly, but the other 2 drinks didn't show up and we had to ask the server and reorder. Our server took a long time to come by for our food order and seemed a bit overwhelmed; but, the food did come out quickly once we ordered and tasted pretty good. The drinks were also very good - highly recommend the iced cold brew. Overall, the staff was friendly and accommodating. It was a positive experience for a brand new place and I would certainly go back once they are a bit past their growing pains.

Great place. Amazing drinks, great atmosphere. Emily (with the long curly hair) and Eloise (manager) are amazing. We came on a Wednesday night and they were working. They took great care of us. Top notch service, comfortable place to hang out. Good location.

Horrible down to the environment, staff, and food. Nothing good here. The general manager was rude and was video recording us without permission, and the food was bland. Drinks were all ice, no alcohol. They're way better places in Clarendon (I.e. Bar Bao). They deserve zero stars and zero business with how disgraceful their service and staff were.

Davis H.

Horrible brunch experience. Food was awful and overpriced. The buffet included a 20% tip. Will never be going back.

Came Friday March 3 to see live music. It was busy but service was prompt. We even had the manager stop by. We got a burger (the one with mushrooms) bbq wings, a few beers and bread pudding. Food was delish! Highly recommend this place for food and entertainment. It does get busy/loud but the vibes are impeccable. Management is definitely doing something right. We will be back for HH

Sophie M.

Yelp
I really wanted to like this place. The buffet was horrible and rarely refilled, atmosphere of live country music was unnecessary, and crab legs were $12 extra per plate/cluster. Additionally, the crab legs were frozen at the cluster root, and service was slow. The food was either under seasoned, or just not good in general. The best part of the experience were the peach Bellinis. Our server was nice until he brought two different bills telling us he mischarged us and that we only had a few mins before our time was up to leave. Safe to say I will not return. Best of luck if you take a chance on it!

Emily S.

Yelp
I don't know if we came in on a bad day but the only two people there for a 1pm brunch on Sunday were myself, my friend, and the staff. That should have been enough of a red flag but since they recently opened we figured we would still give it a shot. The drinks were ok but nothing to write home about and I could have gotten better food at Dennys. Even though we were the only people there, our food got to us cold and the biscuits in the biscuits and gravy were harder than calculus for a 1st grader. I left full, but that's because I wasn't wasting my money completely at that point. They had turned the flashing lights off and music was good if you like what's hot on the radio right now. You'd think with a wall of musical greats they'd play some of them. Won't be coming back.

Erin M.

Yelp
GM was completely unprofessional. Approached us with an attitude because we brought in outside food. We were happy to put it away, but she took the most aggressive approach saying it's a "health code violation" which is untrue. Additionally we caught her very obviously recording our table and when we confronted her, she denied it. Very sketchy and unprofessional. Will never be returning.

We went for brunch yesterday's on Saturday, love how the place looks (retro dining) make feels us like we was in the " pulp fiction " movie,about the food, we ordered: Biscuit & Gravy : Love the biscuit texture, gravy was rich and flavorful , is serving with eggs and fresh fruit to balance the richness of the dish. If you want take a risk order the smoked salmon , caviar & cream fraiche , complex dish but works . Overall great experience.

We had a reservation at B Live on Sunday January 15. We showed up and we're seated by a nice hostess. We had prompt service by Emily and also by Elloise (she gave us her card because our friend is a musician!) .... Food was great. We ordered Lox Bennie, Chocolate pancakes and Hangover Burger. The vibe was nice and food was good. They were busy but we felt well taken care of. Will definitely return because of the service and yummy food.

B Live is an awesome spot on the weekends and during the week. I've been a few times on the weekends and the live bands and DJs never disappoint. We went yesterday for their weekly trivia night which was also such a fun time. 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great time. Came in on Saturday night, I forget what band was playing, but the vibe was pretty legit. Made my way to the bar (it was busy!!) and ordered and got my drink fairly quickly, especially with how busy it was. Overall, I think for a new spot in Clarendon this place is cool and has staying power. I'd give it a shot if you're in the area.

I went here on Saturday for a friends birthday around 7. Place was slow had a few people at the bar and only one other table. We sat ourselves and waited about ten minutes and went to the bar to order a drink. We finished our first round of drinks and waited expecting a server to come to our table.. they did not.. so we went back to the bar and put in another drink order and food. I got a kobe beef burger and I asked if it came with fries and he said no so I ordered a side of fires. I got my burger medium and it came back well done and wasn't seasoned well and was dry. My buddy got the same and his burger was over cooked. When we got our burgers we noticed that it did in fact come with fries and was a bit upset that we were forced to order a side of fries when the bartender didn't know their own menu and was already frustrated with the service. We then saw a table come in of 4 chicks and they got a server right away and was like well we never got a server I then talked to the bartender and asked why we never got a server. He didn't have a good answer and said they would get us a drink but I don't believe anything was comped. We then had the birthday party crowd come in and the place started getting busy with the live band getting started. After we continued to order drinks the barter chick wasn't able to find a beer that we ordered and it seemed unorganized. We then were pulled to the side and the bartender told me that since we had ordered a lot of drinks and food he was unable to split checks which is bullshit and pure laziness we dropped nearly $500 that night and you didn't want to do a little extra work to split checks. Still bummed the prior place closed down but I don't see this place being successful with the lack of service we received.... However the vibe and the band atmosphere was a good time.
