Opened August 2007, Tortoise and Hare is a neighborhood bar created by neighborhood owners. Brian Montgomery and Erik Dahlseid are long time Arlington residents who decided they wanted to have a place they could call their own. Creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and part of something new, Brian and Erik invite you to come in and enjoy great food at a great value, your favorite sporting events, music, NTN trivia, and the feel of a comfortable place that restaurant row in Crystal City has been waiting for. Ask for them, meet them and their wonderful staff, and you will see why people come in and come back to the Tortoise & Hare Bar and Grille.
The above summary was taken from the website I have posted. I agreed, it a homely restaurant where they plastered with plasma tvs of all type of sports. We decided to go on a road trip to Virginia on our Memorial weekend. We came on the time where all the Harley Davidson bikers arrived, so we saw some of them at the bar. The place is dim but enough light to see the menus. Nice space and beautiful setting. They have Movie night on Monday and Karoake night at 9pm. The waitstaffs are amicable with friendly smiles. They all dressed in their tortoise & hare tshirts, which is so adorable.
As for the food, delicious. We piled our table with many variety of appetizers but my favorite is the crab dip with flat breads. Their $6 bucks frozen margarita was so yummy. I was satisfied with the services and the warm welcome.
