They don't serve food. But allow you to bring in food. Great hangout spot.

Awesome little dive bar in Arlington. Theyve got a couple pool tables, an old school jukebox, great drink prices and on Sunday night they have movie night. 12/10 will drink here the next time I'm in Arlington even if Luke doesn't come out to visit

As a bar hopper myself I love this place. It feels like home and the sense of community is very strong. I live in Bedford but I'm willing to make the drive about twice a week to relax here. The Atmosphere is nice and welcoming but not over bearing. Drinks are good and affordable and all the Bartenders are amazing. My favorite one is Lynsi. I'm definitely a regular there now.

This is the best bar there is. Friendly people and never any of the drama that you have to deal with at normal places. Staff are super friendly and always ready to serve. From time to time they host quiz games and other activities. Great place!

Went to this bar looking for simple fun with their MarioKart tournament and found just that. Laid back atmosphere, good service/drinks, and bar snacks (goldfish, pub mix and such). Will return! Check Facebook for their events.

Great dive bar that lets you bring your own food. They just do drinks, but it's a great vibe. Loved our bartender and trivia host. We went for the Supernatural event, but they host many different trivia nights. Not pretentious, so pass if that's what you are looking for.

It is a quaint bar with a nice back patio. The service is good and the atmosphere is hip.

I love this place, come here all the time for pool! Though the pool tables have a very slight lean, the company here makes up for it every time. Great people and crowd, great service, and amazing drink prices! Specials everyday with a wall full of boardgames!

This bar has the right amount of bar seating, the right amount of table to standing area ratio, ample corners for darts, and a pool table area right next to the restroom so you can hear you buddy scratch on his shot and be close enough to catch him manipulating the pool balls with his grubby cheating hands. There’s even an outdoor area to smoke cigs reminiscent of the breeze-way outside your high school cafeteria where the burnouts ate lunch. The bartender might moonlight at a rough and tumble biker bar across town, but Tanstaafl is about as menacing as the prospect of Christmas dinner after skipping breakfast, lunch, and drinking a few glasses of stiff Christmas punch. Speaking of Christmas, after the sun set, the bar played Home Alone 1 on a projector in the corner of the bar, the projector was very high quality.
