Did I miss anywhere? Let me know!
The newly renovated Spider Kelly’s restaurant/bar in Clarendon made some big changes over the past few weeks of construction.
Expanded: The owners took over 2 neighboring buildings they’ve now combined to make 1 big bar. They’ve kept walls in tact to make it feel like 3 different areas – the original Spider Kelly’s is now more formal dining, while the middle area is a huge bar central to the whole building, and the right side is full of pool tables, shuffle boards, some video games, and basketball shoot outs.
Menu: They’ve added some items to the new menu and tweaked some of the old stuff. Here’s a full list of their menu items. My recs: if you eat nothing else, try the Cardiac Mac ‘n Cheese. Delicious.
Where: 3181 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
When: Monday – Friday, 4pm to 2am; Saturday/Sunday 11am to 2am
