A great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat before a Spirit soccer match or Nats game!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dacha with my fiancé, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted warmly by a wonderful bubbly, blonde hostess. We had requested a table by the window to make our evening extra special, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us, ensuring our view was picturesque. We felt super well taken care of.Our server, Sean, was super friendly. He guided us through the menu , offering recommendations and answering all of our questions.While the dishes we ordered were good, I must admit that the prices were a tad on the higher side. The slightly inflated prices did leave us feeling a bit hesitant to indulge in as much as we might have liked.

The vibes at dacha are always great, and the staff there is wonderful, especially Ella! She works so hard to make a positive atmosphere for everyone, and will make sure that you have such a great time you continue to come back. Love Ella and love dacha!

the experience my friends and I had was immaculate. aside from the great atmosphere, aesthetics of the outside portion of the establishment, and the cozy vibes - I thoroughly enjoyed the hostess that had greeted us (I believe her name was Ella or Bella but she was blonde and very sweet), and our server Herbet (dark haired gentleman). the great food was also amazing and basically what solidified that we have to come back soon. would definitely recommend bringing a few friends along to share the joy, but I also understand why you would want to keep this gem all to yourself ?.

The service was great! Our hostess Ella was very kind and accommodating to me and my partner. She answered all of our questions before we sat down. The place was busy and cute!

My spouse, our small dog, and I live within walking distance of this location. We usually visit 2-3 times a week, sometimes more depending on the weather. I appreciate that the establishment is dog friendly, and the food is delicious. The burgers taste like they were cooked at a cookout - they're that good. The kitchen and service are both excellent, with accommodating waitstaff. I have given this place 4 stars because of my encounters with Ella, the lady at the door. She has been consistently rude and dismissive, showing annoyance even during friendly conversations. When requesting a specific table, she never seems willing, and never polite. On two occasions on two different visits, I overheard her speaking to the Spanish male about not seating us at his table with a hostile look in our direction. However, today Ilia who have served us before in the area we always request made our experience easier after the unfriendly greeting from Ella.Ilia recognized that we were regular patrons of Dacha and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and very apologetic for Ella manners. Lila even went out his way with checking up on us even though we seated outside of his designated section. Ilia has also served us in the area we always requested in the past. We always tip generously, beyond the standard 20%, and I empathize with the importance of providing exceptional customer service as I work in the industry myself. Mia who was our server today and has been before in the past was always great as always. Mia too was very apologetic for Ella rudeness. These servers shouldn’t have to be apologetic for Ella manners as they have nothing to do with it, but I do appreciate awareness of what happen and wanted to make right. Love this place.

Fun neighborhood swanky joint w lots of space, beer, drinks, younguns and pups! Next to National Stadium by the water this is everybody’s favorite beer garden in DC. Ppl come here for their HH specials, first dates, hanging out w your fav peeps, or when on an afternoon walk w loved ones where you can pop in to friendly faces and everything good that comes from a place like this. As the season warms and places get packed, you can always rely on Dasha for a spot.

Had friends gather here for a birthday celebration and it was great! Would recommend calling ahead for them to reserve a couple tables for you if you’re doing something similar. Even in rain and cold, it’s cosy!

Food was alright for a Biergarten. Service was good. Loved the beer! They do a pre-auth for like $60 on your credit/debit card -- so be aware of that!
Had to change my review after getting my bill. 15% service charge is complete BS. I asked the server if it is a tip and they said "no". He also gave presented me with the order pad with a 20% tip preselected (and I didn't see a bill with the 15% service charge before paying). Be ready to treat your meal here like a complicated negotiation where you know you're the one getting screwed.

Go for vibes but not food... Food is a scam, over priced for meals that are made in a trailer outside. Portions are tiny (except pretzel). Wouldn't recommend it if you are going to eat.
Vivi Tran
My first time there, super cute ambience that felt like a German Xmas market. However, the pricing was outrageous and 15% charge that’s not a tip I don’t have words for. Everyone was so nice that of course you have to tip, but my bill was $96 for 5 beers and a pretzel and we were there 1 hour. There were $6 beer club beers advertised and we ordered 2 but were charged $9 each. Loved the ambience but probably won’t be back, too many other comparable and less expensive places nearby.

Service was good, beer was good, pretzel not worth $17. Honestly I would never have gone there if I'd known about the ridiculous 15% surcharge on everything. (And it's not the tip!) That's just a rip off. Raise your prices if you can't make a profit, or close down.
Rachel Yount
The prices have gotten out of control. They wanted me to pay $36 for a double Tito’s and soda. I guess the drink itself was $24 and then they charge a 20% service fee, some other 3% fee, and then they wanted me to tip 20% on top of all that.
A great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat before a Spirit soccer match or Nats game!
