"Right across from Nationals Park on the Anacostia River bank, the bustling Navy Yard beer garden is a gathering spot for Nats, Washington Spirit, and DC United fans who take down chicken schnitzel sandwiches with European and American craft beers from Das Boot and can treat canine companions to Chippuccinos from the Puppy Provisions menu." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Dacha’s massive Navy Yard beer garden is the ideal spot to end a riverside dog walk. It’s a see-and-be-seen sort of spot that can get crowded on a sunny day with a variety of options for beer, food, and treats. The original location in Shaw is also the place to be with a pup on weekends." - Tierney Plumb
"If you’re #teamspears (and no, we don’t mean Britney), go for Dacha’s jumbo fried pickles, which are brined and breaded in-house and served with a homemade tzatziki sprinkled with paprika." - Hannah Yasharoff
"At both the Navy Yard and Shaw Dacha Beer Garden, happy hour runs all day on Mondays.

"Dacha’s massive 800-seat beer garden on the Anacostia River offers happy hour Monday to Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with deals on glass boots of beer and German sausage with sauerkraut. The airy, 5-year-old hangout has a newer canopy covering, stylish deck flooring, fire pits, and spruced up grounds." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
