If you want to bring the kids…
Westover Beer Garden
Neighborhood: Westover
The scene: A super neighborhoody watering hole with a shaded patio, affordable eats, rotating craft brews on tap and live music several times a week.
Happy hour: 3-6 p.m. Monday-Friday
Specials: $2 off select draft brews
Featuring a colorful wall mural as a backdrop, the beer garden’s patio has plenty of large picnic tables for families of all sizes, and the live music will leave even the crankiest kids mellowed out. Appetizers like nachos and chicken wings are perfect for picky eaters and adults alike, plus the kitchen has a kids menu with classics a la mac ’n’ cheese and PB&Js. Adults can sit back and sip on one of the bar’s 15+ beers on tap. If your kids are feeling extra antsy, send them over to Toby’s Homemade Ice Cream (a Best of Arlington winner), just three doors down, for a scoop.
