We are not just a restaurant, but an institution in Arlington. The first floor of our restored historic property houses an inviting bar and lounge that remains vibrant all hours of the day. Our upstairs dining room offers professional service, a warm ambiance, and a menu featuring rustic, modern American cuisine. We are devoted to in-house production: we bake all of our own bread and pastas, sausages, and desserts. Our beverage program features creative specialty cocktails, a diverse wine list, and a great selection of premium draft and bottled beer. We are known for our unlimited small plates brunch on the weekend and late night dancing Friday through Sunday.

The Liberty Tavern offers a "lovely experience" with a varied menu and standout items like pizzas and burgers. The atmosphere is cozy, though sometimes bustling, with a "super friendly staff" and attentive service. While some dishes divide opinions, the brunch and small plates are "outstanding." Ideal for casual dining and family meals.

    Very attentive service and delicious food. It is a tad loud especially for our large group. However, we’ll definitely return when back in town.

    They changed their brunch and it is no longer a buffet but small plates. No pizza and no steak anymore. Wasteful food and not that good. Disappointing used to be incredible.

    We went here for Thanksgiving . The turkey was dry and looked and tasted like it had been bought at the deli department of a grocery store. Very disappointing. Soup, salad and dessert were veery good. Our server kept apologizing for the service saying that they had reservations for over 500 people that day. Half of the room we were in was empty, We spoke with the manager about the lackluster Turkey and he took one of the meals off the bill. I expected a nice turkey dinner. Sadly we didn’t get one.

    It's a nice cozy friendly place. The food is okay, but nothing spectacular. Nice place for casual lunch or drink. Our server was very pleasant, but she's seemed very busy and service was a tad slow. No

    Small plate brunch was outstanding! The bottomless mango mimosas were terrific. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday with friends.
