An outdoor beer garden across the street from Nationals Park offers games and live music from within a complex created out of shipping containers.
Fairgrounds offers a much needed spot for happy hour and great food by the Nats Stadium. I love the different food trucks and the laid back and fun atmosphere at The Bullpen.
