The best beer gardens are located in the city’s party neighborhoods! Check out the buzzing areas of H Street NE, 14th Street or Dupont Circle, among other nightlife hotspots. You’ll find some amazing biergartens in the food and drinks haven of Shaw or Capitol Riverfront. And if you’re into a bit of an industrial vibe, have a look at what NoMa has to offer.
If you or any of your guests are not a huge fan of beer, swapping it for some other type of beverage shouldn’t be a problem. Most beer gardens will offer soft drinks, such as Coke or juice. You could also try Radler, a mix of beer with lemon soda. And if the beer garden is attached to a restaurant, chances are that it will sell other types of alcoholic beverages, such as wine.
