Navigate the Potomac River
The Bullpen is the baseball equivalent of Water Taxi Beach, but along the Anacostia River in Washington's desperate-to-revitalize "Waterfront District." It's an abandoned construction site across from Nationals Park that has become the new pre- and postgame scene, with a huge outdoor bar, cheap eats (burgers, hot dogs, and tacos), a family-friendly carnival, and a concert space that features live bands on game nights. There's no entry fee and the beer is cheaper here than at the stadium, thanks to a Budweiser sponsorship.
