No frills hipster-ish beer garden I've been coming to for over a decade. Dog friendly and lots of picnic benches to share with strangers, which is fun. Their food is so unbelievably good-I recommend this place to anyone and everyone; it's one of my favorite spots in DC. I usually get the corn (it's gotten pricey), pulled pork or cubano and it's always delicious.While I will continue to come back, the place really needs some TLC; especially the bathrooms.Anyways, come here, you'll love it.. maybe wait to go to the bathroom some place else

Beautiful place in the middle of the city, definitely my favourite place to have a beer :)! Give me a sunny day and a weizen and you’ll have to drag me away from this place.

We dined at the Garden District and liked the atmosphere. The tables are outdoor, but they also have heaters for the cooler weather.The brisket is very good and their fries are great.They serve “Coke” in glass bottles :).My husband said the Bratwurst wasn’t that great, that you could get better Brats at the grocery store.The fried pickles were very, very hot. Almost burn your mouth hot, but the Server warned us that they were hot. The breading doesn’t really stay on the pickle it kind of slides off. I wouldn’t recommend them.It’s a great place to go with a group of people. There was a large group outside of the fence. There were several tables outside of the fence on the right side of the restaurant.They do have a bathroom inside, which is nice to have, see photos. It’s small but serves its purpose.The photo of the inside with barstools shown on google maps isn’t how it looks now, see my photo. The inside doesn’t seem to be utilized for patrons. It seems to be used as a kitchen space to prepare food or drinks.I added photos to show wheel chair access with the ramps from the street up the curb, so it is accessible.All in all, we would go back there, if we were in the area. The staff was friendly.There’s a bike rack on the right side of the fencing.

I was very happy with the quality of the sausage I ordered and they serve HB so the beer was great. I just wish it was a few dollars cheaper.

Great spot to grab some delicious eats and a decent beer before hitting a show at the Black Cat.Folks here are very nice, even if service is a bit uneven due to the naturally chaotic situation (you order, sit wherever, and they sort of just find you at some point).Strong recommendations on the burger and fried chicken sandwich, both are exceptional. Their onion rings are a nice upgrade, and their side of bacon can be enjoyed on its own or to use as a premium topping on their sandwiches.Definitely a nice way to kick off your evening.

Trendy/ hipster cozy local garden pub, ideal for sunny days. Prices a bit expensive. Staff nice and polite. Atmosphere amazing. The place is small outside, even smaller inside, but you can easily share the table with someone else. Nice music. A vivid place to enjoy your beer. I will go again. ?

one of my favorite beer gardens in dc! it's all outside with mostly large, high tops to sit at. it's super easy to order, you can do so on your phone (and pay that way too!). i got a liter of beer for about $16/18. it came our super quickly and our server was lovely when he did bring it! they have an awesome selection of beer so if that's your thing, you'll love it here. not only beer, but there food is really fantastic. i got one of their sausages/hotdogs and hush puppies. some of the best hush puppies i've had in a while! really well seasoned, very garlic-ey. they also smoke all of their meats in house, which really shows. anything food-wise on the menu is bound to be great! it is also very dog friendly! i went with a friend and their dog, they had water bowls and lots of other dogs for them to hang out with! while the entire place is outside, it is really mostly all shaded so not too hot at all. great place overall to grab a few beers and great food with friends after work or for a casual date!
