    Awesome vibes, beautiful people, great music! Come for sun, fun, drinks, tacos, and dance! This is a hidden gem, put your feet in the sand, gravel or turf. This venue offers tropics, beach and club music. I think I counted 4 bar areas, a basic taco menu, made to order and delicious! Get a hookah and explore the various flavors. Staff are bustling around, security is present and everyone very chill. Things to consider: get there early to get seating, they could use a few more tables for hookah or to eat tacos. The DJ's have EDM / club beats... and depending on where you are on the property (by the river, in the middle or by the elevated floor / (bed lounge area during the day, dance floor at night) you are challenged by the competing DJ sounds. Expensive bottle service if you reserve tables.

It's $250 for up to 6 people and comes with a party platter that had butternut squash wontons, pork belly sliders, fried chicken nuggets, and chicken wings. It ended up being only four of us so the amount of food was perfect! They also had buckets at the tables with other snacks and hand sanitizer which we loved. The cocktails were INCREDIBLE. Each cold pressed juice had a different spirit in it; our favorite was the green juice with the whiskey. I also love that they use good quality spirits because I'm not hungover today! The service was unbelievable, they truly made it such a special experience for us and we can't wait to come back. The tent was warm which we were thankful for given it's getting chillier out. I also love that it's black owned and they use catering and the juices from other black owned businesses. You have to check this place out!

The menu includes German & Belgian pub grub, Barvarian pretzels, fish & chips and fried pickles. The watermelon & feta salad is good. Crafts beers are a good start. There is so much more.

If you visit on a Friday evening when the Nationals are playing, you might see fireworks after a game. Worth checking out.

Dacha is a semi-outdoor beer garden across from Nat's Park and a short walk from Audi Field, making it the perfect storm to collect a massive crowd before a game. We arrived shortly before happy hour ended, about two hours before a Friday night Spirit game and were able to get a table. Dacha did fill up quickly, but with plenty of seating and an open section with standing tables in the center, there was still room to move around. With the glass walls surrounding us, we felt like we were in a garden. The noise level, while high, was not as bad as Solace, and we were still actually able to hear each other. Our server did not check on us as time went by, but she did bring us waters as soon as we were seated, which really exceeds my expectations for a beer garden. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and were super tasty. Both the flagship lager and IPA were drinks I'd order again, and as a vinho verde admirer, I appreciated having that as an option on the HH menu. While the skinny burger is delicious, the real star of the HH menu is the fried pickles, homemade and flavorful and piping hot. I'm eager to go back for another pregame and try the HH cocktail, perhaps sampling something from the regular menu as well.

The location right up against the Anacostia and across the road from Nats Park is really great. It's a breezy spot, with huge opened walls, which must be great when it's hot, but was dang chilly this evening. We ate just the pretzel and enjoyed the quality mustard and the very good beer cheese. The pretzel itself leaned a bit oily, but we scarfed it down and enjoyed it. Service was pretty good with friendly and helpful bartenders. With Champions League on the TV our seats at the bar were perfect. She Said: I think He summed it up perfectly! Potty Points: 4/5 plenty of stalls, clean enough especially considering the traffic, but I would have liked some paper towels since we came in from a downpour and I was drenched and needed to towel off a little bit.

That's a huge amount of waste! I hope this restaurant gets a better sustainability policy/plan and more polite waitstaff. The restaurant is in violation of DC mandatory recycling laws for businesses. See the Zero Wasre DC websire for more info. They also did not open the windows on a game day until halftime despite the place being packed so the place is sweltering. Choose a better place to watch the game.

It was mostly in the shade which was a huge plus on a hotter day. Bar service is ok, it was slightly busy but a bit chaotic. They had a HH so we got a frozen pina colada and a beer - the pina colada didnt have too much flavor but it did have a a pretty strong liquor flavor so at least you didn't feel like it was all sugar. We ordered some fries and I swore they had truffle fries on HH but I guess it was truffle tots but they were able to put together a variety of truffle fries, it was just like a truffle dip on the side and not like the fries mixed in a truffle salt or whatever. Longer bathroom lines and no soap in like 2/4 of the bathrooms so that was unpleasant. Nice spot for one drink but not a ton of seating upstairs.

Got to the front door and a heavily "tactical equipped" doorman. It seems we upset him by not properly cueing in an empty line. After getting past this transgression, we asked if we could eat dinner (early ~4pm) and were stopped since we had a less than 21 yr old and he wasn't sure that we could go. Now enter the manager. Manger comes down and says we are fine to come in since we are with the event. We were not. At this point, we gave up and walked away. If you want to get scolded by Blade for entering a line incorrectly, this place is for you.

We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything. Again, fine spot if you just wanted to hang out and drink beer.

The emmental egg galette was fantastic. It does seem they've pivoted their menu more towards small plates - so the galette options are more limited than advertised online - and they don't serve coffee at brunch times. They've partially offset the fratty sterile vibes of the Navy Yard area, but there's only so much that a poster of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg can accomplish.

One day after a long/hot cycling session I decided to finally drop in and I'm so glad I did! The food was sooooo good! I came in ready to order the Le Mile End, but the server told me they didn't have all the ingredients (hence the 1/2 star deduction) but they recommended the clementine crepe and it was FIRE! I'm so glad they recommended this one because it would have gone under my radar. I got two additional dishes, but the names escape me and unfortunately I don't see them on the menu, but they were equally enjoyable. I love the interior, it's very clean/modern and it's right by the anacostia. I will be back soon when I'm in the mood for French bites.
