🥯 Your Weekend in ARL: Disco, Drum & Bass, and Puppy Yoga! (March 28–30)
Plus: Bartaco says goodbye, Bar Chinois gets ready, and Andy’s Pizza teases a new slice spot in Virginia Square!

Happy Thursday Bagel Bites,
Hope you're all stretched, disco-ready, and craving some dim sum, because this weekend in Arlington is bringing the vibes.
While we say goodbye to Bartaco, we’re welcoming French-Asian fusion, award-winning pizza (soon-ish), and enough live music and dancing to cancel out your Sunday scaries.
Now here’s your dose of restaurant buzz and weekend fun.

Happy Thursday from Prince!

📅 Your Weekend in Arlington
Friday
🍹 Tropical Disco Pop-Up Bar – Clarendon Ballroom @10PM
Clarendon Ballroom upgraded their sound system so they’re celebrating with palm trees, free souvenirs and $5 shooters. – Free
🎧 DnB Happy Hour: Women’s Month Celebration – Darna Lounge @5PM Darna is fun little venue. If you’ve never been and you like Drum & Bass, this could be your excuse. – Free
Saturday
⚽ Bundesliga: Bayern vs. St. Pauli – O’Sullivan’s Irish Pub (Clarendon) @10:30AM
Watching soccer (I know, it’s football) at O’Sullivan’s is the best. Bayern are at the top of the the league but are on a 2 game slump. So this is a big game.
🎧 Bollywood in Arlington ft. DJ Akhil Talreja – Darna Nightclub @10PM I keep mentioning Darna (not sponsored) but this looks sick. He’s a “celebrity DJ” in Mumbai. I’m listening to a mix this DJ made on YT and it’s so good. – $25
🧘♀️Puppy Yoga to Benefit Fancy Cats & Dogs – Faith Lutheran Church @3:30PM Stretch, relax, and play with adoptable puppies during this fun-filled yoga session supporting the Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team. All proceeds go toward animal care and adoption efforts! – Join waitlist
Sunday
🧘 Free Ashtanga Yoga for Everyone – Gateway Park, Rosslyn @10AM If you haven’t been to Gateway Park since all the construction this is a good chance to check it out. It’s going to be in the 70s on Sunday too. – Free
