From a press release:

“The next best thing to a summer beach getaway, Michelin-honored The Imperial is bringing Chesapeake crabhouse vibes to Adams Morgan with its first-ever “All-You-Can-Eat-and-Drink Maryland Blue Crab Fest” on Sunday, August 4. Hosted on its two-level rooftop terrace, the crustacean feast will feature endless steamed local blue crabs, plus all the fixins and bottomless Natty Boh, all for just $125/person.

The seafood-driven restaurant, owned by third-generation Maryland native Steve King (whose family crab feast memories go back to his grandmother who worked in Baltimore as a cook and crab picker), will be steaming bushels of peak-season Maryland hard shells, serving them alongside homemade sides from Chef Chris Reynolds such as hushpuppies with drawn butter, Old Bay fries, local corn on the cob, Red Bliss potato salad and crab pot smashed taters.

And to wash it all down, bottomless Natty Boh beer will be on deck.

The former “Cocktail Program of the year” RAMMY finalist is bringing extra boardwalk vibes in the form of beach cocktails (a la carte, $12) for the day, like the OC OG Orange Crush, Pusser’s Painkiller, Bahama Mama and Sagamore Rye Mule.

The Imperial is hosting two seatings: 1-3:30pm and 5-7:30pm. Tickets are $125/person (plus tax and gratuity) which include AYCE crabs, sides and beer, and can be booked on Resy.
