"Sometimes a Bud Light and a mediocre cover band are all you need. Fenced in by shipping containers and construction (very romantic), The Bullpen is only open during baseball season, but it’s some of the most fun you’ll have outside the ballpark. It opens two hours before every Nats game and has Happy Hour from the third to seventh innings. There are a couple of food trucks, but use this place for drinking, cornhole tournaments, and its convenient walk to the stadium. It’s not what you want for every pregame, but when you’re with a big group and looking for some cheap beer, it gets the job done. " - tristiana hinton
