Declaration, Italian-American Osterias with Pizza in Shaw and at Nats Park

[DaveO]

For some reason I’m not that excited about food and drink alternatives at Nats Park (or other venues) but I have enjoyed the whiskey line up at Declaration near Nats Park off the Metro nearby.  Among the alternatives are shots of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon aged 10, 15 or 20, and their primo 23 year aged bourbon: the last of which is priced at $300/ shot.  (There are other quality whiskeys across the board not that expensive)

(no I haven’t splurged on any of the Pappy Van Winkle’s while stopping off there). 

I was by there again to see someone the other day and realized the restaurant had no mention here.

Imaginative pizzas a variety of apps plus some sandwiches are all solid and the overall whiskey lineup is strong.  During the warm weather they have an indoor/outdoor bar that is fun.   It’s worth a visit while at Navy Yard and certainly for Nats games

Passed by it on First St a bunch of times and like the indoor/outdoor set-up in Summer. I'll have to make a note to stop in for a Nats pregame in the Spring, particularly with no more Justin's and their great happy hour 😔

HH menu at Declaration looks pretty good. $5 beers and appetizers. Tough spot to be pizza focused with the sh*t hot All Purpose down the street.
