This sprawling sports bar serves up a lively atmosphere with 24 self-pour beers, a deliciously diverse menu, and enough screens to catch every game.
"Situated right across from Nationals Park, Navy Yard’s sports bar stalwart is outfitted with 24 self-pour beer stations and massive 4K TV displays. Neighborhood fans flock here on game days for green tea shooters, subs, and seltzers and beers by the bucket." - Tierney Plumb
"Walter’s is beloved by anyone in Navy Yard for pregaming (and postgaming) Nats games. But it’s also great for general sports bar things. The casual neighborhood spot keeps a schedule of what’s playing a few weeks in advance, so you know if that NCAA gymnastics meet or championship tennis match you’re looking to watch will be on. For a little more peace and quiet, grab one of the outdoor tables with individual TV screens—and fewer people jostling your beer." - tristiana hinton
"Bar menus can be tough with vegetarians because it’s all wings and burgers. And while Walter’s Sports Bar does have wings and burgers, there are also a bunch of vegetarian bar bites on the Navy Yard spot’s menu that are miles better than a plate of soggy fries. Pregame the Nats or watch your favorite sporting events alongside the “Ashville” hot cauli—a fried slab of cauliflower that gives all the meatiness of a juicy burger with none of the cow. There are self-serve taps all around the place, plus a full bar if you want liquor and outdoor seating that also has televisions. " - Tristiana Hinton

"In addition to being a headquarters for Women’s World Cup, Walter’s is a home bar for D.C. United and Washington Spirit soccer fans. Its handy-dandy sports guide helps tell you which World Cup matches will be televised at the bar. Happy hour runs from Monday to Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with $5 select draft beers, house wines, and rail cocktails. It’s also an excellent spot to order up a round of wings." - Tim Ebner
