Jay's Saloon & Grille

I heard this place was closing soon which made me sad for the following reasons:

1. CHEAP beer
Cheaper than the surrounding bars in Clarendon which we know can be $$$$
2. Homey feel
Locals and "neighborhood/no frills/dive bar" off the beaten path.  It's like you are sitting in someone's house because it is a house: theres a patio, room, and stairs over the bar.  You go in a few times and the big burly bartender guy remembers you?!
3. Fun: Trivia, contests, guy playing a guitar, "bar games" (pool table), etc. always something happening.

I've had nachos there to soak up the beer and can't really say they were that memorable or do I just blame it on the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-alcohol?!

One of the last great dives in central Arlington. I love everything about this place - especially its proximity to more "respectable" places in Clarendon. Try the food at your own risk.

great dive bar! cheap tasty food.  Disgusting, dated interior.
