You don't have to live in Arlington to know that Whitlow's on Wilson denotes a certain deserved renown. An undisputed hotspot for singletons and marrieds alike, this unassuming but popular Clarendon bar is the epitome of Arlington nightlife. Step inside this multiroom bar and restaurant and peel away layers of possibilities: Catch a live music act on the stage up front, or head past the dining tables to the gaming ones and jump into a game of pool or Foosball. There's a newer area in the back with a beach-y feel dubbed "The Sandbar" that can also be reserved for private parties, and two outdoor dining areas -- on the back porch as well as the front sidewalk.

Several nights a week, Whitlow's gets crowded for its weekly theme nights: Half-price burgers on Mondays are almost legendary, Thursdays bring mug-night beer specials to legions of regulars, and open-mike nights occur regularly, drawing talent (and lack thereof) from the local woodwork.

    Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, or Drinks, Whitlow's is the best spot in Clarendon. Plenty of seating, good service (except why are hostesses always such C's around these parts?), and reasonable prices.

    1/2 price burger night on Monday is a must, and the other happy hours are fantastic too.

    Not a bad place to pick up girls if you don't mind getting packed into a diner with more people than should be in there. Oh, and there's a cover... Never tried the food (heard good things) - but you can't throw a band in a Denny's and make it a bar... Try Ri-Ra across the street.

  • great keyboardist - lousy bar

    I went there to chill with a few clients from out-of-town last tuesday night. It wasnt too crowded but it took forever to get a drink! The only salvation was the keyboard player - he is one of those rare finds who did incredible versions of elton john and billy joel. I wish i could remember his name...:( I have seen quite a few bands in the area but this guy was amazing. I wish I could say the same for Whitlows...

    I find it funny that the people that trash Whitlows don't even know Whitlows. If you like DC (STAY IN DC) As you can tell, there are plenty of people that LOVE Whitlows because they get voted Best in DC every year!! Its a great place to go and hang out with Friends and have a good time. If you want to see a "Headlining Band" Go to MCI Center or 9:30 Club. Your not gonna pay 3 to 5 dollars at the door though. Try $50 + if your lucky... Waa Waa Waa.. Get a life.... Another thing...$11.00 a pitcher?? R U Crazy? Where are you used to going and getting a pitcher for less?? 7 Eleven??
