Arlington Rooftop Bar's Watermelon Beer

I don't need another reason to go back to Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill, as the last time I experience good food and an interesting mix of wood finished lounge and sports bar. But I noticed Virginia Belle found a beverage on the menu I overlooked: watermelon beer. She gave it a good review:

"Hell or High Watermelon is basically a wheat beer , very similar to Blue Moon, with a hint of watermelon flavor and aroma. It actually undergoes a secondary fermentation with real watermelon!"

 Thanks to Virginia Belle for the tip, will have to make it down there again to try this interesting beer!

Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill

Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill opened up on 2424 Wilson Blvd a couple weeks ago above the existing Subway sandwich shop. Despite not having its rooftop on yet as its name implies, I was very impressed with the establishment. After trekking up a flight of stairs customers are greeted by a very tall ceiling, warm dark brown wood accents and more TVs than you can count.

The food is not cheap but good, as it strives to be a slightly more higher end restaurant and not a typical sports bar. their burger pictured here is $10 but includes shoe string fries and bacon if you desire.

Highly recommended as a nice happy hour venue to watch a game or a date night. Can't wait for the spring to arrive so I can try out the roof top deck!
