"One of D.C.’s original beer gardens has always been a festive option for larger groups. Both locations offer reservations for groups as large as 20 online, as well as plenty of outdoor space." - 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
"The Dacha Loft, the adjacent space above Shaw’s Dacha Beer Garden, is well equipped to host rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, bridal showers, and corporate events. The brick-lined perch also houses a curated selection of glossy artwork." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Dacha’s Oktoberfest celebration this year doubles as its 10-year anniversary festival, kicking off with a ceremonial keg tapping at noon. Dacha debuted in Shaw in September 2013 and has poured more than 3 million pints of beer since. Over at Dacha’s Navy Yard sibling, the party starts with a keg tapping at 2 p.m., followed by pretzel-eating and boot-holding contests and appearances from baseball’s beloved Racing Presidents, Dacha’s polka band A Jury of Your Beers, and German dance performances by Potomactaler. Along with live entertainment every weekend, Navy Yard hosts Nationals catcher Riley Adams on September 24 and Dogtoberfest on September 30." - Tierney Plumb
"Even without stepping foot in the place, Dacha Beer Garden feels familiar, thanks to an iconic mural of Elizabeth Taylor painted alongside the building. Just as memorable on the inside, the beer garden features pours from near (the District) and far (Belgium and Germany). German fare includes traditional schnitzel and big pretzels, with Bullfrog bagels and avocado toast during weekend brunch. A “puppy provisions” menu caters to its devoted dog clientele with drinkable beers and treats." - Tierney Plumb
