Amazing beer selection - when in doubt, get the full liter because it's cheaper (and badass). Vegetarians, enjoy the grilled portobello sandwich with goat cheese + always get aioli with those fries!!

Great place for mussels. HH mussels are $10! If St. Arnold's is busy head around the corner and downstairs to The Abbey it's sister pub. More pub atmosphere and beers on tap not available @St.A

Yes this is a mussel bar but you must try the St. Arnold's Over-Stuffed Burger that's topped with both bacon and prociutto. It also comes with mushrooms, peppers and onions.

Of all the mussels the blue cheese has to be my favorite, not just because they are delicious but the fact that they come with BACON that you can top the side of bread you get with your food!

Best mussels I've ever had. Plump, flavorful, and with the good-but-not-great fries, one order is quite filling. Service was very friendly, beer list good, and Monday night special very affordable.

Belgian influenced menu with imported drafts and mussels galore. Regular menu is also very good .. St. Arnold's Mussels are out of this world. Happy Hour =10$ mussels

1/2 price mussels and frites all day long on Mondays, and if you come during happy hour some drafts may be 1/2 off as well. Best deal in town!

The subterranean space features 20 mussels preparations, from a classic mariniere version to a Mexican iteration served in a sauce spiked with jalapeno peppers, onions and cilantro. Read more

They only have a couple of vegetarian options, but the delicious portobello sandwich and solid beer list make this a crowd-pleasing choice.

The spicy white wine mussels came out fresh and hot and to my surprise they actually had a nice spicy kick to them. Frites + aoli = Yum!

Be sure to scope out the daily happy specials--they lower the prices from expensive to reasonable, and the eponymous mussels are a total no-brainer.

Great big Belgian beers. Jolly waiter is great, others not so much. Don't trust the hostess when she says a table is reserved.

Very good mussels! Waffle+Nutella was a winner for dessert. Great, comfortable atmosphere.

Um. Waffles. So good you forget all about syrup, utensils and the fact that you came here for beer.

This place is one of my favorites in the area! The Drug Opera is amazing.

Don't get the classic mussels. The broth tasted like dirty bath water. But the pesto mussels and other kinds were delicious!
Spencer LuckerMarch 10, 2013
Try the Drug Opera! Great grilled ham and cheese with an egg on top. Bloody Mary wasn't bad either.
David RobertsMarch 12, 2013
Try the Bacon and Blue Cheese Mussels!

Brunch! Mussels! Beer!

A little overpriced for mussels but they are delicious!
Jessica SaboJanuary 27, 2012
If you're not full from the mussels, try their bread pudding! Sooo good!

When the weather's nice, it's a great spot to drink beer with pups...

Be careful, ladies. The floors are super slippery when wet.

Do yourself a favor and go to Bethesda. This location is a mediocre bar.

Waiter was so rude we left before even looking at the menu.
