Arlington used to be dry, but years ago they started handing out beer and wine licenses for restaurants, and more recently they allowed a few beer and wine stores to open as well. They're still dry in that they don't allow non-restaurant bars, package stores that sell beverages other than beer and wine, or full liquor licenses for most restaurants.

Not Your Average Joe's is a chain restaurant in Arlington Center. It's not a huge chain, but there are others scattered around the Boston suburbs and exurbs.

(BTW - Arlington is a town and not a city. If you call it a 'city' while talking to an Arlingtonian, they'll politely correct you.)
