Bardo (CLOSED)

This outdoor brewery on Bladensburg Road has something no other brewery in the world can claim: Bar Dog. The friendly mutt is the official mascot of the quirky lot, which is decorated only with a giant skull made of beer caps and enough picnic tables to seat 500. Recipes for the beers made on the premises are crowd sourced from some of the country’s best brewers (as opposed to having one head brew master), resulting in a variety of tastes and styles. The three-page menu lists some cult favorites, like the Marion Berry Lambic, as well as malty brews like the Black Watch Scotch Ale and a bacon IPA. Bikers welcome.
