It took awhile, but the arrival of Nationals Park eventually led to a dining and drinking boom in Navy Yard, an area of D.C. that has become increasingly residential and now boasts a variety of restaurants and amenities. Find exciting Mediterranean, excellent Puerto Rican fare, and one of the area’s best wine bars among its highlights. Outside of this curated list, the neighborhood is booming with quick-service options for Indian bowls (Rasa), slices (Wiseguy), Korean fried chicken (Bonchon), scoops (Ice Cream Jubilee), affordable burgers (Swizzler), and more.
Navy Yard’s bar scene got a big boost this summer with openings from Takoda and Chicken + Whiskey across from Nationals Park. The Southeast neighborhood will soon welcome cabana-covered waterfront hangout The Cove, a two-story Silver Diner with a bar up top, British pub Duke’s Grocery, and Royal Sands Social Club from the team behind Mission.
