I have eaten at most of these places, but have not actually tried all of the specials listed in this article. Some of these specials are a little more expensive than the ones about which I have previously written.

Editor’s Note (7.8.2013): Kitty O’Shea’s is now a different pub, one that has recently expanded. Clare and Don’s Beach Shack has moved to Falls Church.

Does Molly Malone’s (at Washington and Wilson) have any specials? Because then you’ll have covered that whole crazy Quartet of Courthouse/Clarendon Irish bars (that one-mile stretch from Molly Malone’s to Ireland’s Four Courts). 😉
I plan on calling them before I write the next article. 🙂
Great Posts – I’m working on a google calendar about Arlington Happy Hours/Specials along the Orange Line –

I added some of them in.
Thanks JasonC. Glad to be of help in your calendar project. I’ll probably add installment #4 next week.
Also, the very yummy chicken at El Pollo Rico in Virginia Square (Kenmore Street) has 1/4 chicken with sides for $3.75 — you can’t beat it!
Whitlow’s on Wilson also offers a 1/2 price burger special on Mondays, including a tasty veggie or turkey burger option. They normally run $7-$8.50, so on Monday night, you can get a burger and fries for about $4.
Oops! Nevermind my previous comment. I see you already covered it in a previous post.
Mollie Malones has cheap burgers on Mondays. Can’t remember if they’re half price or $5.
Just called them. They have other daily specials such as a 1/2 price fish and chips night. I will probably include them in this week’s installment. Thanks Emily.
Oh, that was MJF. Thanks MJF.
cowboy cafe- 1/2 price burgers on tuesday.
Also – I can’t speak to RiRa’s burgers, but I’ve been there before and been totally swindled by overpriced and subpar food. i’ll never eat there again.
