From open until 10 pm you can enjoy a great burger at the bar or lounge. Excellent waitstaff, awesome cocktails, great atmosphere. Turns into a party spot late nights on weekends!
Samantha McDanielAugust 26, 2013Brunch here is amazing. They now have a DJ on the weekends and he spins amazing old school mixed with top 40. Try the grapefruit buck and the bloody with a beer chaser (ps-they make their own bacon).
Northern Virginia MagazineApril 25, 2014"Liberty Tavern fits into the buzzy Arlington scene well. It puts out gorgeous pies, like on topped with strands of duck confit, bundles of frisee and the requisite fried egg."
EaterJanuary 23, 2013Liam LaCivita's restaurant serves up American cuisine with an occasional Eastern European flair, due to the chef's Pittsburgh roots (hence a take on the Primanti Bros. sandwich). [Eater 38 Member]
Mary W.November 19, 2015Had thanksgiving here the past 2 years - can't wait to go back on the 26th! Good food all around! & check out their sister restaurants, north side social and lyon hall (they form a triangle on a map)
Melinda SigalJanuary 27, 2010Located in a historic building in the heart of Clarendon. Great happy out specials plus awesome seasonally influenced menu of modern American cuisine at dinner, lunch, and breakfast. I love this plac Read more
Katie LoughmillerJuly 27, 2013Opted out of the $20 brunch buffet but was jealous of the people next to us who got it. That being said the French toast off the a la carte menu was AMAZING and comes with bacon! I'm full.
Many hits on the menu – pork chops, Sunday sauce pastas, pizzas are the faves. Cocktails are stellar – try a classic old fashioned or a seasonal drink.
Kathy FongSeptember 25, 2011Can't beat Liam's menu for seasonal and interesting dishes. His lobster roll is amazing .. and then there is always the Primante Bros's sandwich. After all.. I am originally from ' the burg'!
Lynn PinaDecember 29, 2012Brunch buffet is great and reasonably priced. Good mix of breakfast and lunch dishes plus a few tasty desserts. Coffee is also great.
Zafar HasanOctober 25, 2012This place is great. Food for everyone with a kids menu. Ask to sit upstairs and order the steak salad. you wont regret it. Pizza for the kids. Homemade ice cream. Everyone wins.
Jimmy JohnsonNovember 8, 2013This place is always a Win. Great food (the chef must be famous) classy atmosphere and of course yummy BEER.
Jonathan PMay 20, 2015Sunday morning brunch. Buffet style delightfulness. Fun, helpful staff. Quality of food is great.
Terry P.January 4, 2011Try the Gin and Tonic - Hendrick's gin, which is infused with cucumber. It is served in what looks like a small brandy snifter and uses cucumber slices together with lime to really freshen the drink.
iLuvtra1ls PSeptember 10, 2011one of my favorite places in arlington for a consistently AWESOME cup of Java. the wine bar that opens at 5 pm has a decent selection as well
Maggie MacGJanuary 30, 2022The food here is surprisingly good. The meatballs are tasty and the fig salad is satisfying.
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012the brunch is buffet-style, so the food was, well, not a great as it could have been but it is complimented with a small al a carte menu. The candy table for dessert is pretty awesome Read more
Wa'il AshshowwafNovember 30, 2013The Staten Island pizza is amazing, if your craving a rustic taste of NY pizza it's a must try...
FiOS 50November 28, 2011A Clarendon stand-by even before President Obama stopped in for a swordfish dinner. Try the Neapolitan-style pizzas from the restaurant's two wood-burning ovens.
The roast chicken entree is the motherfking TRUTH. Get on that.
SpaceTex MendellAugust 17, 2015The KKL is delish. Just be sure Kyle's Killer Juice doesn't get all over your face.
Amazing fries. Great pizza. All the entrees I've had have been fantastic. I like the Amish chicken a lot.
Get a hightop by the window, downstairs. People watching is great and service is impeccable- Great brunch. French press coffee is great and much better quality menu than the average brunch.
Stephanie MeyerJune 30, 2013Amazing brunch!!! If you're lucky, you may get seated in the same chair POTUS enjoyed his in!
Lacy BaugherOctober 21, 2013Surprisingly delicious pancakes and a generally great brunch all around.
Pamela ValoreApril 6, 2014disappointed that the Amish chicken is off the menu, but the hot chocolate pudding MORE than makes up for it!- Northern Virginia MagazineJuly 3, 2012Old fashioned chocolate cake enjoys new life courtesy of cream cheese frosting, sea salt and ground coffee. - November 2011 issue
BrettJune 7, 2012The happy hour is pretty good. But go off the happy hour menu and get the Gibson. Awesome drink.
Foie gras is great. Vermont pizza is great. Ice cream sandwich is AMAZING!
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012The menu might seem all over the map, but the common denominator is LaCivita’s emphasis on the rustic. Even his most artful plates bear hefty portions.
Simon GamboaJuly 23, 2011You NEED to try the Wild Va. Bluefish! It is simply amazing! Best dish i have had in DC
Best Brunch in existence. Great service and food -- all the time!
