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.
