The Westover Market and Beer Garden is a fun spot for the family.

The Westover Market and Beer garden is a locally owned business that sells organic, local, fresh, and hormone-free food, as well as 1,000+ types of beer and wine. Next to the store is a large selection of outdoor seating decorated with hanging string lights, picnic tables, painted murals, TVs with sports playing, and occasional live music. It's a first-come, first-serve style restaurant, where you order your food inside the store and wait for it to be brought out to your table. They sell hamburgers, hot dogs, barbeque, and vegetarian options as well. The beer garden was featured in The Best of Arlington Magazine in 2016 and 2021 for food and drink. It's an excellent place to meet up with friends or take the family for a fun evening while also supporting the local community. 

The outdoor seating is very popular, especially on the weekends, so it's better to get there early. There is a restroom and free water inside the store, as well as a bike rack near the entrance. There is parking on both sides of the restaurant, but the parking behind it usually has more open spaces. If all of the outdoor seating is taken up, there is a small amount of indoor seating near the indoor bar that may be open. There is not a kids' menu, but lots of the food is great for kids, such as their chicken tenders, grilled cheese, and fish-n-chips. Dogs are welcome, and they sometimes have a dog bowl with water near the entrance.
