Where To Eat In Arlington When You Are Nearly Broke
Monday nights at Rock Bottom Brewery in Ballston are Wings Nights. Their 25 cent wings and $2.50 a pint Rock Bottom draft beers is definitely a good deal. How are the wings? They are decent, but I will give a better wing recommendation later in this article. The Wings Night specials are available in the bar from 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm. Tuesday nights at Ragtime in Courthouse are Raw Bar Night, from 4pm until closing. For $2.95 take your pick of: half a dozen Mussels sautéed in white wine/butter served with bread, a quarter pound spiced, steamed shrimp, half a dozen steamed clams served with butter, or a half dozen raw oysters. You will go through a bunch of plates, but it is still a good deal. They also have happy hour specials on beer and select rail drink Wednesday nights are Wing Nights at Hard Times Café’s in Clarendon. Wings are 30 cents each on Wing Night (ordered by the dozen) and come in 4 varieties: original Texas, Chile Lime, Honey BBQ, and Honey Mustard (Cadillac). You can even order the wings grilled. I personally like the grilled Texas wings. They only slightly discount some of their beer during Wing Night happy hours, so Rockbottom is a better Wing Night is better for drinking ona budget. Hard Times is best known for its chili, so feel free to order that as well if you don’t just want the bargain-priced wings. I personally like the Texas and the Terlingua varieties, but I have friends who like the Cincinnati and vegetarian versions. Hard Times Clarendon also has a chili dog stand for the summer Monday through Friday 11am-6pm across the street from the restaurant, at the metro . And best of all, these bargain nights are on three separate nights, so you can go to them all in the same week. I can already hear my waistline expanding as I write this.

» This Week in DC Reviews - June 23, 2006 from Hobnobblog Tracked on June 23, 2006 9:56 AM CommentsMonday night also features half priced burgers at Mollie Malone's, and I believe a great pizza deal at Facia Luna's. And it's always a great deal to get something at Pho 75. I've heard there's a good appetizer Friday happy hour special at Whitlow's as well. Posted by: MJF at June 24, 2006 7:08 PM My husband and I are big fans of the Monday deal at Faccia Luna: two drinks (soda, tea or house wine), two salads and a pizza for $22.22. Posted by: Alyson at June 24, 2006 8:56 PM Well, there are a lot of places I did not mention. Half price burgers at Whitlow's on Monday evenings is a great deal. I think Tuesdays is 1/2 price Sandwiches at Whitlows, but I haven't had their sandwiches. I am not a fan of Frontpage's burgers, but they are 1/2 price Wedesdays (I believe). You can't go wrong with the $2 tacos and $1.50 pupusas at El Charrito Caminante. They are closed Tuesdays. I think Matuba has a $1 a piece sushi special Mondays. Posted by: Jason at June 24, 2006 10:28 PM Ah, also, you left out pho at Pho 75 - it's only $4.99 for a small bowl. You can have drinks with friends next door at Guajillo (not so cheap) and come to pho for dinner! I meet up with friends quite often there for a really cheap meal and to catch up on conversation. Surprisingly, hot pho on a hot day is still delicious! Posted by: Brandi at June 25, 2006 7:49 PM Yeah, I stuck to Happy Hour food specials in that article. I know many more Arlington cheap eats places, so I'll probably write a follow up. Posted by: Jason at June 25, 2006 10:06 PM I think the Whitlow's Tuesday sandwich special has been switched to lunch only. Posted by: MJF at June 26, 2006 11:15 AM Yes MJF, and it is only certain days. I covered it in the next article in this series. Posted by: Jason at July 14, 2006 10:36 AM For DC Happy Hour specials http://www.stumblingdonkey.com has the best list out there. Posted by: Kevin at July 17, 2006 7:57 PM Post a comment |

Lately, I’ve been trying out bargain nights at restaurants in Arlington. Are my friends cheap? Well, yeah, that is one of the reasons I like them! Here are a few options that might be cheaper than the bargain recommendations you normally read about.
