Clarendon Whole Foods customers can now enjoy draft beer at the "Arlington Pub."

“We have a full service coffee bar, draft beer, and wines by the glass,” said Arlington Whole Foods Market marketing leader Jackie Zovko. “The beers are all local within a 200-mile radius.”

The pub at the grocery at 2700 Wilson Blvd. hosted a “soft opening” last Friday. A full grand opening event will take place on Oct. 4, kicking off with “beer o’ clock.”

“The representatives the beer companies will be pouring beer for food pairings and we will have a celebration in the café,” Zovko said. “We will have special happy hour prices and free coffee for one day.”  

Up to eight beers are available on draft at the café on the store’s second level. Beer o’clock will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Zovko said.
