    Excellent spacious spot for sports, food, and eye candy. Ask for Mike or Rich at the bar. Darts, pool, hoops, and good food.

    Favorite bar in Arlington. Hang out with the bartenders Rich, Mikey, and Raj while enjoying taquitos and a beer and watching sports. Patio is awesome when the weather is warm or shuffleboard inside

    Join a sport league where you don't have to run! No matter how you score, you'll have fun at DC Social Sports Club leagues at Carpool. Sign up or skeeball, hoops, cornhole, darts and more!

    Great bar for football. Even though they do have a bias for the steelers they are more than accommodating for other fans with direct tv. Food is decent and pretty good beer selection.

    Despite the rumor there is NOT a bathroom upstairs. Don't even bother checking. It doesn't exist. Btw - stop spreading this lie. It's mean to the regulars :-)
