The lack of bars and restaurants near Nationals Park is something of a sore subject around here, though you can always hit one of the bars near Eastern Market. Help is on the way in the shape of the Bullpen, an outdoor beer garden opening in a vacant lot across N street from the ballpark's centerfield gates.
