"Solace Outpost added a sprawling waterfront bar right out front of its Navy Yard tap room in late June. The 330-seat outdoor extension called Crush Bar specializes in crushes (of course), frozen cocktails, sangrias, Solace brews like Juicy Lucy double IPAs, and canned spritzes or cocktails. On Saturdays and Sundays, Crush Bar welcomes a new barbecue pop-up called Dragon Doodz Barbecue Foodz. The wood-framed hangout near Nationals Park is outfitted with a new sound system, TVs, yard games, and sun shades. And right next door, a sandy tropical oasis called the Cove recently reopened right along the Anacostia River." - Tierney Plumb
