Can't remember a burger joint in Arlington

[Anonymous]

This is a little silly but here goes -- 3 years ago, before we knew anything about Arlington, some friends took us to a nice dive-y burger and beer type place in Arlington. But now we can't remember where exactly it was or what it was called.
We're sure it was somewhere along a major street but could have been anywhere from Rosslyn to Ballston. The place was dimly-lit, staffed by hipsters, and I want to say it had hand-painted art on the walls. It had really good burgers, a decent beer selection, and a really local feel. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Sorry I should add that it was definitely not Ray's.

Whitlow's on Wilson?
Lost Dog Cafe?

If it was't Whitlow's, I'll bet you're thinking of Whitey's which was on Washington Blvd at/near Pershing. Nasty dive bar atmosphere with pool tables and amazing burgers.

Closed down a few years ago. The wine bar Tallula is now in its place.

Iota or Galaxy Hut are "hipster" joints but don't know about their menu's since I've only gone to drink! Cowboy Cafe is in S. Arlington but I don't think it has the funky art.

RIP Whitey's.

Thanks for all the ideas. It actually turned out to be the Clarendon Grill I was thinking of.

And now I have a handy list of other Arlington burger places

You need to add The Broiler to that list. A *TRUE* dive, but great burgers.
