Atlas Brew Works Bridge District Brewery & Tap Room

After Atlas closed their Ivy City brewery, they moved here, a massive space on the bottom floor of an apartment building along the Anacostia River. An easy walk from the Anacostia Metro, Atlas is a perfect place for groups. The main space is huge with plenty of tables and bar seating. If you’re there by yourself, they have outlets and Wi-Fi. (I brought my laptop to work for a bit.) Their beer list is extensive. If you love sour ales, their gose is actually very refreshing. There’s a good spot inside making burgers and fries worth getting. For kids and adults, there’s a little arcade space in the corner. They also host regular events for all backgrounds from plant swaps to markets.

Opening weekend report: awesome! Wide variety of good beers brewed onsite using 100% solar power (with extra process heat recovered for water heating in this apparently net zero mixed use building!), fantastic views of the beautiful Douglass Bridge and Anacostia River, pinball machines,c claw machines, and classic arcade games, and delicious crispy pizza. There are nice and airy outdoor and indoor areas, and even a small publicly-available onsite playground. Kids are welcome, and the food menu includes some quality items like Brussel sprouts and chicken tenders that go beyond basic bar food. You could walk here across the bridge from Nats Park — feels like maybe 0.7 miles. There are also good bike racks, and this is right by the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and Fort Circle Trail. Everyone at the bar and the ready-to-eat pizza counter was friendly and down-to-earth. Oh, and you can order with a human if you don’t want to order by smartphone— nice. Individual pizza slices (including the impressive pepperoni-sausage combo) are run through a small oven for a minute to ensure they’re served at the perfect temperature. I look forward to returning, and am happy to see Atlas bringing this great experience and new jobs to this part of DC.

I was excited to try this new spot downstairs from my apartment, so we ordered a whole pie with different slices to sample everything. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing. The pizza was extremely dry, almost like it had been sitting out overnight. It had no flavor, the crust was pale, and overall it just wasn’t enjoyable, we ended up having to throw it out. I understand they’re a brand-new establishment and are still finding their footing, and I genuinely hope things improve because the location is great. But as of now, the quality just isn’t there. Hope to see better in the future.

Wonderful and gorgeous new flagship location for Atlas. Huge upgrade from Ivy City - bright, airy, light filled and feels wonderful. Staff is most excellent. Go visit!

This place is great! So excited for this new development this location is excellent. Staff are super friendly and Andy’s pizza is the best. On Sundays they have most games but they don’t play NFL Redzone yet unfortunately. I’m really hoping they make that small investment.

I dropped by for some pizza slices. The staff were friendly and the food was great. I tried to margarita and the white pizza. Excellent crisp, great undercarriage and good sauce to cheese ratio.

Great new spot with plenty of seating, great pizza and beer, and outdoor area including a small playground for families! (Something I’ve never found next to food in navy yard)

One million stars! Great work team. Keep the beer and the pizza flowing.
