About Restaurant Openings Around DC
A guide to the newest places to eat and drink.
Bars and restaurants were allowed to fully reopen on Friday, and Washingtonians were so there for it. Whether it was a crowded Bullpen, long lines for 14th Street bars, or the long, long-awaited chance to sit at a bar, people were out all over town for a taste of the Before Times.
No joke, the last time I saw this many happy people out in #navyyard was probably the world series. #backtothebardc pic.twitter.com/QKtoTT81wY

Last night. Adams Morgan. First day that restaurants were fully reopened. A cop on the beat told me, “This feels good.” pic.twitter.com/YUVMnEO2uE

@barredindc had to drive through U St to get home from a friend’s. Streets were as if the pandemic never happened. Lines everywhere, the outfits (!), almost no masks. Truly before times.

D.C. reopened bars yesterday so went to my favorite one, saw lots of people I hadn't seen since March 2020, watched the bartender arm wrestle patrons, stayed out past 2, terrible hangover today.
Feels good to be back!

I had a feeling I’d get a little misty on restaurant reopening day. Didn’t expect for it to happen @edencenterfc but so happy to see so much resilience. pic.twitter.com/ilQxbopq2X
