Origins of the name "Old Arlington Grill". In 1985, the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse replaced the
Arlington Theater or “Old Arlington” as it was affectionately
known. This Arlington landmark boasts over 65 years of Cinema &
Live entertainment. The name “Old Arlington” is a tribute to this historic theater.
The Drafthouse continues to grow and entertain
and was most recently voted the best movie theater in the DC area by the Washington Post and selected as the best thing to do on Friday nights by the Washingtonian Magazine.
We are excited to expand our quality offerings to include the Old
Arlington Grill.
