The Pub & The People
1648 North Capitol Street NorthwestBar & Food + good happy hour and patio in the back.
Good outdoor space, and diverse (but not large) selection of beers. I think the $20 deal for a bottle of white, red, or sparkling is going to be popular. Could also turn into a good sports watching venue. Just opened in November 2016 and I've only been once, so it's bound to change a bit.
