  • “ Good beer selection, friendly staff, they made good upgrades to the bathrooms and nice back porch ”

    Marcus S.
  • “ My boyfriend and I live down the street from Arlin's and go there all the time. Considering how expensive things have gotten, Arlin's remains an affordable way to go out for a drink and get some decent food. I always get the black and blue burger, and the big cat is my boyfriend's favorite. Vibes are always great, very much a place for the locals to hang out. ”

    Molly C.
  • “ Arlin's is by far my favorite bar. I come in here all the time. the food is always great, the beer and liquor is reasonably priced, and I've always had great experience with the bartenders. Particularly: Rich, Laura, Kelsey, Jessie, Nikki, Maddie, Audra, and everyone else! I would come here rather than anywhere else 100% of the time. ”

    Maci A.
  • “ Great neighborhood gem. Decent food and great prices. Neat outdoor area. I had the Reuben and it was good. A buddy had the ribeye steak sandwich and enjoyed it. ”

    Ross G.
  • “ We had such a wonderful time here. Great atmosphere, great drinks, great service, & just a wonderful crowd. Everyone here was so welcoming & enjoyable. We stayed for much longer than we expected to because we ended up having such a wonderful night. Thanks for a great night, Rich!! You were wonderful!! ”

    Olivia B.
  • “ Basic dive bar. Decent drinks. Good bar food. Older college aged crowd. The outside patio is great on cool fall evenings. ”

    Eric B.
  • “ My friend and I stopped in here on Monday evening for a drink and a light bite. We were pleasantly surprised by Arlin's! Upon entering, there was plenty of seating options and they have an amazing patio space out in the back. Unfortunately, it was raining when we went. But I will definitely check out the patio when we go back, as many people have given it such raving reviews. The bartenders were really friendly and served us right away. Since we were also ordering food, we got the pretzel bites to share, and I got a burger. I was shocked by the prices--so cheap! My burger was solid too. In total for everything, I think our bill came out to be $30 with food and drinks combined. We hung out here for a while at a table. It definitely gives the classic dive bar vibes with the darker lighting and cheap drinks--but we really enjoyed our experience, and will be back! ”

    Gemma S.
  • “ Back for another review of Arlin's, but this time to tell you about the Wednesday Wing special! This was my first time digging into the wing special, and it was well worth starving myself all day. The wings are only $.75 each with a minimum order of 5, and they come out of the kitchen quickly! There's nothing better than chilling on the back porch, having a cold beverage, and diving into a basket of mild wings with blue cheese dressing. Even if mild isn't your jam, they make several different types (garlic Parmesan, hot, etc.), and you just can't beat the vibe. Be SURE to tip your server because these folks are HUSTLIN' up-and-down a legit set of stairs to cover inside and outside. No lie, the bartenders from inside/upstairs will routinely cover tables outside/downstairs...all while covering the bar as well. Everything is served up promptly, chilled (drinks) or hot (food), and there's not a bad seat in the house. Sometimes I hate turning people on to new places/specials, because that means I might have to deal with some scheduling competition in the future. I shouldn't be selfish about Arlin's however, because there's more than enough of this place to go around. See you on the back porch! ”

    Holly M.
  • “ My son knows all the best dives, and this is his favorite. For $12 he can spend an afternoon playing his golf game and downing PBR's. They are one of the top sellers in the country for PBR. Right here in Clifton. Today I had smothered fries. They were crispy, had cheese and bacon and sour cream. For some reason greasy salty potatoes are tasting so good right now...they usually don't pass these lips. They have Lobster Bisque, but I didn't go for it. I reserve that for 4 Star restaurants. My son swears by it. Too bad I don't live in the hood. ”
