Bar and snack spot Ballston Service Station located inside of Ballston Quarter Market is now closed
The bar at the center of the food hall shuttered several weeks ago, Ballston Quarter Market’s general manager tells ARLnow, confirming several reader tips received by ARLnow.
Ballston Service Station was one of the first businesses to commit to the newly-revamped Ballston Quarter in late 2018.
The low-key watering hole was designed to look like “your hometown gas station.” It had a bar, a tap, and several televisions. Now, there’s only plywood and paneling covering the bar.
ARLnow reached out to the owners of Ballston Service Station about why it closed but has not heard back. Ballston Quarter management also declined to comment on if another tenant is lined up to replace it.
Recent months have seen several comings and goings at the food hall inside the Ballston mall. In August, British-inspired Salt Pop Kitchen closed while, in September, Kung Fu Tea opened on the other side of Ballston Service Station.
Meanwhile, the Macy’s next to the mall is set to undergo a huge redevelopment after County Board approval this weekend.
