Cantina Marina serves basic bar food, but the view of the water makes it worth the trip. Use it as a pre-Nats game meet-up spot around Navy Yard.

Don’t just hit Bluejacket before a Nats game - the Navy Yard brewery is a great spot for a group hang and even a casual date.

The Bullpen does music, cheap drinks, and bar food starting two hours before every Nats game. Go with a big group, and play some cornhole.

Head to Bonchon in Navy Yard for Korean fried chicken before a Nats game or for a quick lunch.

A Shake Shack in Navy Yard means you can get your fix without waiting in the huge line for the one in the stadium.

Declaration is right near Nats Park and has a wide-ranging menu and a daily Happy Hour so it’s perfect for a group dinner or brunch before a game.
