Burgers and Boozy Milkshakes from Boston Are Here — Tasty Burger Opens Today

Boston's Tasty Burger opens today at 11 a.m. in Shaw, bringing its hormone-free burgers, as well as beer, wine and cocktails to the Atlantic Plumbing development.

The spot at 2108 8^th Street NW will be the first location outside of Boston and the first to offer a full bar, which will serve boozy milkshakes, craft beer and twists on the gin rickey and Bloody Mary.

A Rise ‘n Shine burger (topped with an egg), a chili cheeseburger, hot dogs, chicken nuggets and a crispy chicken Parmesan sandwich will be on the menu. Fries, onion rings and tater tots come as sides. A digital jukebox and free foosball supply the entertainment, while a glass Coke-bottle chandelier enhance the retro vibe.

The interior will be decked in red and white and photography highlighting neighborhood graffiti. Giant garage doors will allow bar patrons to spill onto 8^th Street during the warmer months. Opening specials will include $5 cocktails and $3 beers from 5 pm. to 7 p.m. from Monday through Friday.

Franklin Restaurant Group CEO David DuBois told Eater the restaurant doesn't have current plans to open additional D.C. restaurants.
