“Dear PoPville,
One of my bosses is leaving. My other boss wants to find an outdoor bar, with dancing, somewhere near a metro for the farewell (with all vaccinated people). Yes, this is a difficult ask. Also yes, this will be an incredibly awkward bar hang. Can your readers help me identify some places that won’t make me cringe too much?”

“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to ask if anyone knows of any bars that are resuming in-person pub trivia. Been looking forward to getting back into this activity now that things are opening up, but I haven’t seen it available yet.”
In addition to Nanny’s (above) Trusty’s (1420 Pennsylvania Ave SE) also has trivia on Tuesdays. Anyone know if trivia is back at Solly’s (11th and U St, NW)? Other spots back in action?

The scenic astroturf-covered green space is now open seven days a week, with live music, giant lawn games, weekly themed nights, and new summer food and drink menus.
