"This Bavarian beer spot in Mount Vernon Triangle has a killer happy hour with half-off Spaten drafts and plenty of covered streatery seating for dogs to hang out with their owners. Even if you don’t have a pooch, you’ll see plenty of happy neighborhood dogs stop by on their evening walk to grab a treat from the host stand. The giant pretzel with beer cheese and mustard is a crowd-pleaser, but the Prost burger with bacon lardons, gherkins, and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun is a must try." - Tierney Plumb
"This Mount Vernon Triangle German beer spot has some European-inspired cocktails on the menu for winter as well. Jenny’s Glühwein ($10) is a German mulled wine that’s sure to keep you warm, especially if you opt to add a shot of brandy for $3. There’s also classic hot spiked cider, with a combination of apple cider, hard apple cider, whiskey, and spices." - Emily Venezky
