The Bullpen
Nationals fans only! Just kidding...DC's largest outdoor venue is located just outside the Nationals Park which makes it the perfect spot to hang out before or after catching a game. They even offer Home Game Happy Hour where you can get $5 drinks throughout the 3rd-7th innings during any home game. Cheers to baseball and cheap drinks!
