Dacha Beer Garden (Shaw): Experience a True Bavarian Beer Haven in Washington, DC

Chicken and mushrooms tacos were street taco style with generous portion of chicken, topped with pico de gallo and crumbly cheese (chihuahua?). Service was attentive and friendly. Ambience - beer garden - picnic tables in an enclosed tent structure.

True Bavarian beer garden. Large beer selection of classic German beers and local beers. Fun atmosphere for meeting a group of friends. Was cold outside but had lots of patio heaters plus a giant tent, so felt like an indoor venue. Ordered: -Ommegang sour (loved!!) - Aslin Hazy IPA (was good)

The food was pretty good. The first day we only got small bites before meeting my sister for dinner. We had the hummus plate. Fresh and good. Our server was nice and attentive. We sat under the lights and next to the heat lamps. It was January and only 12 degrees outside. The next day we went back for the wings. Soooo good.

Overall, I thought Dacha Beer Garden is a great spot for outdoor dining and well...beer drinking. The garden was a bit larger than I thought it would be, which was an A+ in my book. This feature was great for us because we stopped by on a very nice summer day, which prompted plenty of folks to chill outside with a beer or five. I was very surprised (and happy) that we were able to find a section of the garden with available seating. While the garden is of a decent size, it highly recommended to arrive pretty early in the day or late in the night because it does get crowed. I thought the beer garden had a very nice selection of beers, which were reasonably priced for the area. Also, I really appreciated a nice mix of cocktails because sometimes, it's nice to supplement beers with a nice gin-based cocktail. ;) Overall, our service was great. Although the garden was pretty crowed, our waitress made sure to check in on us on several occasions. I do not think that we needed to hunt or track her down to get refills on food and drink.

Mission to pick-up Race Stuff for Cupid's Undie Run Every year, I try to run and rise money at this fun run and charity event called, "The Cupid's Undie Run." NF is a disease that causes tumors in children's brains, it affects their lives and impacts their families. This night, I made the trip to Dacha Beer Garden in DC to pick up my race t-shirt, race number and race related swag. They had us pick it up at this charming beer garden. I enjoyed a pretzel and a beer that night. It's a dog friendly place, being semi-outdoors (as it's was in a tent-like structure) and we meet several furry friends of the four-legged kind. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. My friend is a huge dog lover, so we made the plan to return with our beloved dog friend, Bailey. We will get the chance soon, when I have to once again pick up my race material for the upcoming 2025 Cupid's Undie Run.

Held happy hours here for my old job. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. They have several non-alcoholic beers and mixed drink options which is great for sober people like myself. The food was a good as well, my go-to was the jumbo pretzel. It is entirely outdoors with rows of picnic tables and a few sections of high tables (which is what we reserved for happy hours). The environment is casual and quiet enough to have conversations while being loud enough to be private.

A must stop place in DC if you are looking to get a quick bite and drinks. Great happy hour or lunch spot. The place is mostly outdoors, near the water and has a really cool setup to it. My wife and I split the pretzel and beer cheese. I'm not sure what they put in the beer cheese, but it was the best tasting cheese I have ever had. It went perfect with the massive pretzel we got with it. The pretzel itself was also delicious. Both of our beers were great as well. Will definitely stop back next time in town!

Surpassed what I expected!! I was so shocked. I thought I'd be getting basic bar food, but the food was amazing! They give really good portions. The ambiance was great! It's a nice warm weather spot to hangout with friends. Two of my friends even brought their babies. The service was good for such a packed and busy spot.

I really enjoyed the vibes at Dacha, it is a super cute beer garden. We decided to check it out one day when we were in Navy Yard. It was a hot day, but they had plenty of fans going and most of the seats were shaded. They have picnic benches and some high top tables you can stand at. You can order from the Airstream they have or from your phone with a QR code. We ended up sharing an order of the cinnamon sugar pretzel bites which were okay. I wish it had come with a side of dulce de leche, the chocolate was too heavy tasting in the heat. The service was a little slow to get our food, but they were very busy on a Sunday afternoon. It is a very unique spot and I would definitely visit again.
