Forrest Inn, Arlington, Virginia Restaurant Details

Food:

A very rude blonde bartender made my 2nd visit there unpleasant. I handed my drink back to her. I will not be back.

Food:

You got to give a place like this credit for accepting the role it serves in the community and running with it: keeping the local drunks occupied while you go about your business at other Westover locales. In fairness, it does have some of the cheapest beer in the area and the regulars appear to truly enjoy their time here. Avoid this place unless you've recently been fired or divorced. Then by all means, become a regular!

Food:

Grew up in Crystal City. Studied at VCU. Now I come home and look for real bars, not grown up chuck-e-cheeze and mock-neighborhood-institutions turned yuppie traps. FOrest Inn is a real bar. I was there New Years day with a local West Over-er who had no idea the place existed. There were 4 bar flies cursing like sailors and a single super friendly bartender. It looks like they might get busy during breakfast hours, but other than that I'm sure the same 6 folks are likely to be in the buliding at all hours of the day and night. With the closing of Jay's saloon right around the corner, could this be Arlington's last legitimate watering hole?
