One of the first major chili houses in the area, Hard Times excels at what it does best: making power-packed chilis in three different styles---Texas, Cincinnati and vegetarian. And even among these categories, the kitchen offers choices: with spaghetti, with beans, with cheese, and-or with onions. Our favorite is the tried-and-true Texas chili with coarse-ground meat served with beans and...

Food was awful, beer was poor, we regretted going. Only good thing was our waitress was nice. No desire to go again. Many other great places in Arlington you can choose instead

Casual dining options are available at this pub and sports bar which also has pool tables for entertainment. Hard Times Cafe serves bites like Texas, Cincinatti and vegetarian chili and the Whiskey river BBQ bacon burger.
Hard Times has some sort of special or promotion every day. The calendar is updated on its website each month, so plan ahead for good deals. Specials can range from 45-cent wing nights to a free nacho bar in the afternoon.
Ask to be seated upstairs. Not only is the area more open and bigger, but there's almost always more of a crowd.
The decor, menu and atmosphere is centered around Great Depression-era chili pubs, which were popular in D.C. during that time.
