Eat and Drink Your Way to Nationals Park

Opening Day at Nationals Park is Monday, so we decided it was time to update our guide to the bars and restaurants near Nationals Park. If you've been to the Nationals' new home, you know there's not much around the stadium -- and, if you read Fritz's Weekend section story today, you know it might be a while before there is. That's why we recommend two courses of action: Metro to Capitol South or Eastern Market and walk to the park from there, or grab the brand new Circulator bus that runs between Union Station and the Navy Yard Metro station every 10 minutes, passing the bars along Pennsylvania Avenue and Barracks Row. Whichever method you choose, use our handy Google map to find a place to grab a beer or get a bite to eat.

The newest destination in the area is Molly Malone's, the former Finn Mac Cool's, which just opened on Monday. Read Fritz's first impressions of the place.
