The Old Arlington Grill is a new restaurant and lounge located inside the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse. Owned and operated by the owners of the Drafthouse, the Old Arlington Grill specializes in old-fashioned American grill classics with a modern twist in an urban bar setting. Join us after work and stay for a quality dining experience. Come early for a Cinema 'N' Drafthouse event or stay after the event for desserts, drinks and coffee.

Origins of the name "Old Arlington Grill". In 1985, the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse replaced the Arlington Theater or “Old Arlington” as it was affectionately known. This Arlington landmark boasts over 65 years of Cinema & Live entertainment. The name “Old Arlington” is a tribute to this historic theater.

The Drafthouse continues to grow and entertain and was most recently voted the best movie theater in the DC area by the Washington Post and selected as the best thing to do on Friday nights by the Washingtonian Magazine. We are excited to expand our quality offerings to include the Old Arlington Grill. 

The Drafthouse is located on the "Main Street" of Arlington on the Corner of Columbia Pike and S Walter Reed. (One block east of Glebe Road). Parking can be found on the streets around the theater as well as parking lots near the Theater.

We have both a parking lot and street parking. If street parking is filled and our parking lot is filled we have pleanty of overflow parking available within two blocks. Check with the box office for more details at the time of the event.
