Good service. Good beer. Anything else needed? They have a great selection of craft beer. If you like local, you should stop here for sure.
EaterJanuary 6, 2014
Neighborhood Restaurant Group's brewery, along with The Arsenal, came on the scene with a whopping 20 new, ambitious beers and food to match, like fancy tater tots and beef heart tartare.

Great beer selection and well paired dishes. The Mexican radio is my favorite along with the fried chick peas. Service can be a little slow but the food is consistently superb..can be a little pricey

Massive brewery-restaurant from the team behind ChurchKey in the Navy Yards. Try the mac & cheese made using spent grains from the brewing process and topped with homemade Cheeze-Its.

The beers are great!!! Excellent selection of IPA's and sours. We were there for the brunch menu and it offered some fine selections. Our server Natalie was exceptional and very helpful.

The Bifteki Burger is out of this world! A well-seasoned lamb & beef patty cooked to perfection and topped with pickled cucumbers, feta cheese, lolla rosa, and dill mayo with a side of fries.

A must-stop location before or after a Nats game, but it does get very crowded! Wide variety of beer styles and amazing food! I recommend the everything pretzel. Also a great place for brunch.
Amanda BethJanuary 31, 2019
Everything at Bluejacket is incredible, but the Big Train Burger really cemented my love for the brewery. SUB FOR TATER TOTS. Their tots are a game changer
WayneNovember 17, 2017
All of the Bluejacket beers were amazing. The food was delicious and reasonable priced for the area. Very friendly staff as well!
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018
VERY popular, before a Nats game, or after, or during, or even when the Nats aren't playing. Great atmosphere and their beer list has something for everyone.

There are a lot of interesting and unique variants on familiar styles, but to date they make one truly great beer: Mexican Radio.
Christopher PopovJuly 6, 2016
Built in an old hanger or warehouse this place is like most every other brewery I've experienced. Wide spaces to congregate and enough beer variety to quench the thirst of any beer connoisseur.

Go for the tasting portions of beer - they're all great. Delicious veggie burger. You can "upgrade" your side of fries to smothered fries for $3.50. Do it!
MelJuly 22, 2017
Couldn't enjoy the beer here while I was in Washington, as I am pregnant but my boyfriend enjoyed them, and the food was quite good! Would go again if I am in the area in the future!

Their tater tots, though a bit salty, are out of this world

With 20 rotating draft beers that they brew on premises, this place is a must-visit spot for any beer geek out there!
Island BruinJune 21, 2015
Nitro tap Mexican Radio stout is delicious. Short walk from Nationals Park. Great spot for post game celebration (Nats win) / commiseration (Nats lose).
Caleb HaysMay 27, 2016
Beer menu and dinner menu change constantly, so this is always a great spot to try something new. Great views.
Chris ArmstrongMarch 11, 2014
A little pricier than I wish it was but it's brand new and located in up and coming real estate. Beers solid. Food is delicious. Porter was too smokey for me but loved the IPA

Come for the beer, stay for the beer, come back for the beer, tasting size makes trying them easy. Bar menu features some tasty snacks, especially the tots. Restaurant side/menu isn't as distinctive.
Chelsea StephensJanuary 7, 2014
classic. love the bluejacket. I can't wait for them to start bottling their own brews. the expat is a great choice in beverage if you're overwhelmed by the options.

Everything on cask was good. Figure 8 specifically is really good on cask. Food wise.. Apps were ok. Sean, our server, was awesome. Looking forward to going back and trying more!
Rachel LSeptember 17, 2017
Awesome beer list. All brewed onsite. Try the Tots, roast beef sandwich, and pirogies
Washington PostOctober 25, 2013
Bluejacket officially opens Tues. Oct 29, 2013 with 20 original beers and five casks brews. Housed in a former ship boiler factory, the brewery can produce 5,000 barrels/year, or ~10,000 kegs. Read more

Really unique beers! Food was pretty good (smothered tots, butternut squash, and the bacon apple pie), but not anything amazing. Love the vibe of this place.
Crystal U.August 10, 2014
This place has great food as well as freshly brewed beer for beer lovers! They also do brewery tours on the two top levels ...
GelindaOctober 11, 2015
The smoke trout with brussel sprouts and brown butter nage joined the menu yesterday. It was very lite and satisfying. I would definitely get it again.
BRIT BOWLESAugust 7, 2014
You'll find beers that are different than your other breweries and it has a nice outdoor patio. On weekends at select times the regular menu was not offered and it's pricey for what you got.

Really good beer, great food too! Mexican Radio is great, so is the grilled cheese!
ZoeMarch 6, 2019
Can’t go wrong with the WANGS. Perfect place to set up for an afternoon of game watching.

You're going to love this place!!! Can't wait for the official opening! Beer and the food today was great! Can't really go wrong with the heads behind birch and barley and church key!
Allison KaminskiJanuary 3, 2015
Awesome space and brewery!! Wish we had more time to try more drinks before the game. Definitely make a reservation before games.

Get tasting glasses to sample the delicious selection until you find your favorite. Tasting portions range $2-$4.5.

Big open bar with a great menu. Enjoyed the wings with the mumba sauce.

Lived up to the buildup. Great beers and awesome tater tots. And closer to Nats Park than I thought.

Incredible home brewed beer selection. Try the tater tots!
Ari SternNovember 11, 2013
The gose with lavender is awesome. Pig tails, fried pigs head, sausages, pastas, and all the dessert by Tiffany Macissac are amazing
Mateo JuezNovember 29, 2013
Sampled like 7 beers all were good to great. Shrimp burger was awesome and weird. The interior is expertly designed and executed, service was knowledgable and nice but slow.
olivier PEYRESeptember 10, 2014
"As beer and fried foods are a natural pairing, we recommend the house-made tater tots, pork rinds, pig tails and fries. " FoodRepublic

Eat from the outside wood grill. It gives the meat a more authentic flavor. On Friday there's live jazz at 6:30. Kid & pet friendly.
Jorge MejiaOctober 31, 2013
Forget the burger (way too dry) and maybe try the cassoulet, which comes with a generous and delicious portion of lamb neck. Figure 8 beer was great
Beth KMay 5, 2022
Really liked this place- spacious and chill vibe. Food was delicious. Good drink options

Good selection of beers. Big fan of the Mexican Radio spiced stout.

The best fried chicken sandwich in DC (with mumbo sauce, naturally). Blew me away.
Wendy PittmanDecember 1, 2013
The Kale Caesar is a must-have...and if, you decide to dine at the Arsenal at Bluejacket Brewery, please have a reservation.
