📅 Your Weekend in Arlington

Thursday

🍺 Astro Beer Hall Happy Hour and Late Night Deals (Thursdays and Fridays)
If you’re looking for an easy, budget-friendly stop, Astro Beer Hall is running solid deals both early and late. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 PM to 6 PM with $2 off all beers, making it an easy after-work move. Later on, swing back for their late-night specials every night from 9 PM to last call, where you can grab an Apollo SmashBurger or Asteroid Chicken Sandwich for $6 with the purchase of a beverage. A reliable pick when you want something casual that won’t wreck your wallet. Menu

Friday

🎶 Live Music with Anthony Hurley at Bronson Bierhall (Fri., Jan. 23, 8 PM to 12 AM)
Bronson Bierhall is hosting a full Friday night of live music with Anthony Hurley, a seasoned singer and songwriter who blends country, pop, and rock covers with original songs.

Saturday

🧶 Crochet Community Social at MoCA Arlington Innovation Studio and Store (Jan. 24, 2:30 PM to 4 PM)
If you’ve been looking for a cozy, creative way to spend an afternoon, this drop-in crochet meetup is a sweet option. MoCA Arlington and the Crochet Cart Project are hosting a beginner-friendly stitch session where you can learn the basics or work on a project in a relaxed, social setting. You’ll be guided through simple techniques to create a crochet square, and all the squares will come together as a group blanket. No experience needed. Just drop by anytime, get a little crafty, and enjoy the community vibe. FREE

Sunday

🍳 Sunday Brunch at William Jeffrey’s Tavern
If Sunday plans are feeling low-key, brunch at William Jeffrey’s Tavern is always a good call. The menu leans classic and comforting, with hearty plates, cocktails if you want them, and a relaxed neighborhood feel that makes it easy to linger. A reliable spot for catching up with friends, easing into the afternoon, or closing out the weekend without rushing anywhere. Menu

🍽️ Restaurant News

🍽️ Winter Restaurant Week in Arlington (Jan. 19-25)
Winter Restaurant Week is back, giving you a perfect excuse to book that dinner reservation you’ve been putting off. Local restaurants across Arlington are offering special prix-fixe menus and deals, making it a great time to try somewhere new or revisit a favorite for less. Whether you’re planning a weeknight dinner, a date night, or a long lunch, this is one of the easiest ways to eat well around town in January. Read HERE

🍽️ Falls Church Restaurant Week (Jan. 23 to Feb. 1)
Falls Church Restaurant Week has seriously leveled up. After launching in 2024, the Little City’s dining week now includes more than 60 participating restaurants, with deals ranging from bubble tea and casual bites to three-course, white-tablecloth meals. Even better, it overlaps with Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week and Alexandria Restaurant Week, and some spots are participating in both, which means longer windows for discounts if you plan it right. If you’re in the mood to eat your way through something new, this is a great stretch to do it. Info HERE

🥞 Little Falls Cafe in Falls Church
If you want a cozy, special-feeling Restaurant Week pick, Little Falls Cafe is a great one to know about. This charming creperie, a Best of Arlington 2026 winner, feels straight out of a European village. During Falls Church Restaurant Week, they’re offering a $29 two-course menu plus a mimosa, with savory galettes filled with options like ham, Emmenthaler, Gruyere and a sunny-side-up egg, or roasted butternut squash with sauteed kale and herbed crème fraiche. Dessert is a sweet crepe stuffed with bananas or strawberries. Find it at 106 Little Falls St. in Falls Church.

🍕Northside Social in Falls Church
Another Falls Church Restaurant Week highlight worth bookmarking. Mention Restaurant Week at Northside Social and you’ll get 10% off any check over $25, which is easy to hit here. The menu covers elevated breakfast plates, sandwiches, salads, and Neapolitan pizza fired in a wood-burning oven. The bakery case is always tempting, stocked with house-made treats like matcha white chocolate cookies and Nutella Pop-Tarts. If you’re in the mood to linger, head upstairs to the bar for wine, beer, cocktails, and heartier options like a charcuterie board, hanger steak, or smash burger.
