A Guide to ‘Game of Thrones’ Festivities in D.C.

The long-awaited eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones is on Sunday, April 14, and D.C. restaurants and bars are already cashing in on the winter-is-coming craze with week-long beer invasions, trivia, and scotch tastings.

Drink Company’s pop-up pub for the season seven premiere commanded lines around the block for goblets served by bartenders in leather and fur. This past weekend, Las Vegas’ famous Bellagio fountain played host to a tricked-out Game of Thrones water show.

Here’s where to drink to the most-watched and most-awarded HBO series of all time:

Dacha Beer Garden

1600 7th Street NW

Starting Wednesday, April 3, Cooperstown, New York, brewery Ommegang is invading the Shaw beer garden for a week. Cellared Ommegang beers are themed for Game of Thrones characters. Expect prizes and giveaways throughout the week.

Lucky Bar DC

1221 Connecticut Avenue NW

The Dupont Circle watering home is hosting a TV trivia night on Wednesday, April 3, to quiz participants on the cult show (not on the fantasy George R. R. Martin books, notes the bar).
