Best Craft Beer Bars In Arlington Texas

While it might have taken some time for Texas to get on board with the craft beer craze, once it did, there was no going back. In the last few years, Arlington has welcomed craft beer to the city in wonderful ways, opening growler bars and breweries. Here are some amazing bars in Arlington for craft beer enthusiasts.

1. On Tap

On Tap offers 50 taps of craft beer, mead, and cider for craft beer lovers. Visitors have the option of filling up growlers, ordering a pint of beer, or experiencing a five-flight tasting in 5 oz glasses. The Thirsty Thursday special offers three craft beers, priced at $3 each and discounts on growler fills. If visiting with a friend who doesn’t like craft beer, On Tap also offers cold brew coffee and root beer on tap.

2. Division Brewing

Division Brewing was the city’s first locally-owned brewery.

They also offer brewery tours on Saturday at 2 and 4 p.m., and flight tastings on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. On Saturdays, visitors can enjoy a deal that includes three drinks in a free, take-home 9-oz or 16-oz glass.

5. Kool Keg Beer and Margaritas

Craft Ale Bar, American

While their digs may look new, Kool Keg has been a mainstay in Arlington since 1982. They’re a full-service growler bar and bottle shop, specializing in craft beer. There are 30 rotating beers on tap—many of them local—to taste, try, and take home in your growler. The cool thing about Kool Keg is that while you can go there to experiment with new beers, you can also tap them for alcohol catering, too. They offer kegs and margarita rentals for your next big event.

6. Hooligan's Pub

Bar, American

Hooligan’s Pub is a laid-back Irish pub in Central Arlington that sells local craft beers. They have a monthly selection of rotating craft beers on draft, many of which are from Texas-based breweries. With karaoke, daily specials, and events like a St. Patrick’s Day Bash, Hooligan’s Pub is a favorite craft beer spot in Arlington.
