Dacha Beer Garden (Navy Yard)

"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, Missy Frederick

"At both the Navy Yard and Shaw Dacha Beer Garden, happy hour runs all day on Mondays. From Tuesday until Thursday, it follows a 4 p.m.-to-7 p.m. run time and Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Food and drink options include beer in a pint ($7) or boot ($14), $7 cocktails and wines, a namesake drink ($8) with Campari, Aperol and grapefruit, and to eat, a burger and mussels for $10." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi

"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

"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, Vinciane Ngomsi

"The sprawling beer garden on the banks of the Anacostia reopens after an extensive winter renovation on Friday, April 1, just in time for Opening Day at nearby Nationals Park next week. The airy, 3-year-old hangout now looks more like a year-round drinking destination, thanks to a sleek new canopy covering, stylish deck flooring, and spruced up grounds. The outdoor beer garden counterpart to its next-door Jackie restaurant reopens with full dinner, cocktail, and wine menus, plus 12 drafts on tap and 14 cans and bottles. Dacha also resurfaces with a new collab with Aslin Beer Company called Dolly Blonde Ale to go along with existing exclusive brews (DACHNiK True Helles Lager by DC Brau and Kosmonaut Wild Ale by Right Proper Brewing)." - Tierney Plumb
