A Load of Bull

The Bullpen Outdoor Space and Beer Garden Opens

Young bulls, bucks, does, and stallions, we’re about to corral you into a pen.

But this isn’t like those usual bull pens with balls flying at you. This Bullpen is nothing but fun.

Show up to the outdoor space before or after Nats home games for live music from local bands. You’ll be trading your beloved field for a garden — a tented beer garden, that is — with plenty of TVs tuned to the game (should you opt to stay and skip it).

And there’s plenty to graze on. Good luck deciding between tacos and margs from Surfside, BBQ, kettle corn, and soft-serve.

Studs can test their athletic prowess at the mini scouting combine, like the one recruiters use to gauge the jumps and sprints of rookies in the pros .

Just don’t have a cow if you’ve fallen out of shape.

The Bullpen, 1299 Half Street SE, between M and N Streets (thebullpendc.com).
