A new golf-inspired tavern is teeing up to replace Bartaco’s vacant space at Ballston Quarter.
Loopers Tavern, a restaurant and bar “inspired by the traditions and camaraderie of golf caddies” is Arlington restaurateur Reese Gardner’s newest project, fresh off the opening of Nettie’s Tavern earlier this month. He hopes to open Loopers at 4238 Wilson Blvd, where Bartaco exited in March, he told ARLnow.
It will have a ‘golf-themed’ menu
- The tavern plans to serve lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, along with happy hour and late-night offerings, Gardner said. It will also have a full-service bar.
- “The menu features unique golf-themed creations such as beef tallow fried hot dogs, handcrafted burgers, crispy pimento cheese fries, and a rotating lineup of comforting American tavern fare,” Gardner said.
- Gardner hopes to cultivate a “welcoming atmosphere” out of the vacant space, with places to gather and watch sports games.
The lease is being finalized
- More details about the tavern are forthcoming as Gardner awaits a finalized lease.
- A sign in Ballston Quarter this week advertised one of Gardner’s other restaurants, Brass Rabbit, as “coming soon.” Gardner said this is inaccurate, however.
