beer garden
1101 1st St NE
A sprawling outdoor spot where craft beer drinkers and groups looking to linger actually want to be, especially once the fire pits get going. Come here when you want to stay awhile with friends, not when you're in and out.
beer garden
640 Rhode Island Ave NE
This beer garden pulls together art, politics, and people who actually want to talk to each other over a drink—the kind of place where the conversations matter as much as what's in your glass.
mexican restaurant
1221 Van St SE
Anyone who wants proper Mexican food without the tourist-trap feeling should come here; the patio buzzes with the actual Navy Yard crowd, not people killing time between ballgames.
beer garden
1901 Fort Myer Dr
You come here to sit outside with people you like, drink a beer, and maybe play bocce without anyone taking it too seriously. The communal tables mean you'll end up talking to strangers, which is either your idea of a good time or your idea of hell.
beer garden
79 Potomac Ave SE
People who want to drink beer outdoors without pretension come here to sit long into the evening, where the Navy Yard location trades skyline views for the kind of unrushed, convivial atmosphere that makes you forget you're in the city.
beer garden
715 Florida Ave NW
Rooftop spot in Shaw where the view stretches over the neighborhood while you work through a serious beer list with people you actually want to be around. Go if you're tired of ground-level bars and want happy hour that doesn't feel like an afterthought.
