Busboys and Poets in Shirlington, our second location, opened in August 2007.

Shirlington is a neighborhood known as an “Urban Village” in the southern part of Arlington County, Virginia. The word “Shirlington” is a combination of “Shirley” (from the Shirley Highway or Interstate 395) and “Arlington”. It is mostly residential, but like most of Arlington County has been experiencing an economic renaissance and is now home to many retail and service establishments.

With an estimated population of about 206,800 residents, Arlington County is racially, ethnically and culturally diverse. It is located directly across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. Formerly part of the District of Columbia, the land now comprising the county was retro ceded to Virginia 1847.

While not as large as the flagship location, Busboys Shirlington offers guests an intimate setting that has become pretty popular with neighbors and residents in the surrounding communities. With the increasingly familiar Busboys atmosphere and mission, urban villagers are able to create a community without having to venture far from home. In close proximity to the Signature Theatre and the Shirlington Library, Busboys and Poets at Shirlington Village creates an environment where shared conversations over food and drink allow the progressive, artistic and literary communities to dialogue, educate and interact.
