Meet the Bloggers @ Restaurant 3

The Clarendon Alliance is a local association of business and government representatives that has been active since 1986.
Over the past five months there has been a dramatic increase in the number of local bloggers and writers around Arlington, and it is a great boost to have so much energy in the area. Looking forward to more Clarendon-centered meet-ups and collaborations!

Spider Kelly's draws a large crowd

I'm sure many of those people were out trying to forget about the Caps loss tonight. Down the street, Eilen Jewell played to a full show at Iota with her calm and original Western-Country-Folk tunes and 80s cover band The Reflex entertained at the Clarendon Grill.

Happy Hour @ Mexicali Blues
Instead, I dined at another popular local establishment, Mexicali Blues. On the corner of Garfield Street in the middle of the Clarendon strip, it has ample outdoor seating.
I wasn't that impressed with Mexicali Blues' food offerings. Some portions like their burritos are quite large, but their tacos seem lacking and underwhelming. But this venue really stands out as a great happy hour location. It's laid back and airy outdoor seating puts anyone in a good mood when meeting up for drinks after work, and they serve $1.50 drafts from 5 - 7pm Wed and Thurs nights.
Recommended for a nice happy hour spot for friends or coworkers!

Lyon Hall officially opens tonight

It's in a good location, just two blocks directly south from Clarendon Metro station on North Highland Street. Being flanked by the Phoenix Condo tower, the Reserve Apartment tower, 7-11, and Moby Dicks, Lyon Hall brings some commercial diversity to this corner in Clarendon.
For a sneak peak into Lyon Hall before it opens, check out Arlnow.com's picture gallery here.

Love at Northside Social

I don't think its fair to try to compare this new shop, founded by the same owners as Liberty Tavern, to its previous tenet Murky Coffee which closed a year ago. Northside Social has a very different feel and style, and is still a great alternative to the ubiquitous Starbucks.
This coffee shop on the very western edge of Clarendon would make for a perfect first date location. I'm sure its ample outdoor seating will be in demand when this summer warms up!

They will officially open to the public this Tuesday, as for the past few days its been packed with private parties. I'm really looking forward to trying out its excellent beer collection, and its already being compared to Brasserie Beck!
Other local bloggers have great reviews and lots of sneak peak photos, like Arlnow.com and NorthernVAMag.
