About the brig
From the brig's own website and its Google listing, read September 30, 2026.
the brig is a beer garden on Barracks Row in Washington, near Navy Yard and Capitol Hill. Its website says it has been going for 10 years and counting. Google describes a year-round tavern with liters of German beer, plus bratwurst and pretzels.
The website lists 21 taps, with popular breweries, local drafts and a large selection of German beers. There are also bottles, non-alcoholic options and rotating seasonal beers. A full bar and a cocktail list cover anyone who wants a change of pace.
The outdoor patio is the main draw, and the site mentions heated winter seating. It calls the space both dog-friendly and kid-friendly. Google also lists the brig as a sports bar and an event venue.
Watch parties are a big part of the week. The website says The Brig is the host bar for the LSU Alumni and for Mia San District, the FC Bayern Munich fan club. Trivia runs every Thursday.
