This spot is a very local bar, a little run down, but comfortable all the same. The ghost pepper wings were refreshingly hot.

Cool little hangout, actually bigger than appears from Fairfax Drive, with large back room huge enough for a good group gathering.Delish wings, finely seasoned and cooked just right. For me, the burger was perfect, a perfect end to a very busy day. Drinks made by Slick-Barkeep Anthony (and on occasion, Manager Paul) real down and done rightly. The tv’s are positioned well, not too loud, and show just about all that day’s live sports & such commentary you can enjoy free.Not too expensive, a good choice for you to splurge for yourself and on a buddy you care about. However, this is indeed the NoVa area, and you are sitting yourself in Ballston [“Little Manhattan”] so understand if you just arrived from Ottumwa Iowa, Milwaukee Wisconsin, or perhaps Tucson Arizona that prices are commensurate with the government blowing up the economy fast with a nonstop flood of your tax dollars. (And if you are lucky enough to benefit from the gov’t paying out more and more and more, then please leave a generous tip at the bar or on your table. These dudes earn it so!]See y’all at the zinc!~Newmie ??????

Great little DC sport bar. Right across the street from the Hilton. Very good service and awesome wings.

Regular happy our and other type specials everyday. Food was fine, basic bar food. Staff was really nice though definitely worth a visit.

The best wings in the DC area. Friendly service. They always recognize return guests!

This place has been one of my favorites for 3 years now! The atmosphere is unmatched. And the staff are the very best. Anthony, Tommy and Kaitlyn always makes sure you are taken care of and with the best burgers, it's the place I go often

Their nachos are mint. So so good. Their service… even better!! Bring your friends here for a good time, good drinks, and a diverse set of characters. No really, such a great spot!!

I have to travel about 45 minutes to get here, passing many other places along the way. The place is smaller and the physical building shows some wear and tear. There are a lot of tvs on the wall if your into sports. Decent drink deals and I have always had good service. The reason I drive so far out of my way for this place is the food, specifically the wings. Just good and a whole lot of options for what type of wings you want.

Fantastic dive bar in Arlington. Wings are very good. Would recommend
