“Dear PoPville,

Advice needed. My 75 year-old mom is a Washington, DC native and long-time, die-hard Caps fan! I so want to get tickets for the Stanley Cup finals but cannot afford the cost of two tickets (~ $1400). Where do you think we could watch the games with other fans that would be fun and lively but not too rowdy for an ‘old’ lady? What bars / restaurants will likely show the games and fit that description? She lives in Northwest and I live in Northeast.

Thanks and GO CAPS!”

From an email bu add your recs in the comments please:

“Declaration Shaw & Nats Park will be offering an all-night happy hour every time the Caps take on the Knights. Declaration Shaw provides a more intimate bar to catch the games, whereas Nats Park has four flat screen TVs along with an outdoor walk-up bar. (more…)



3628 Georgia Ave, NW

Now that the fury is here. Where will you watch history unfold?!? I know DC Reynolds (in Petworth photo above) will be lit. Ventnor Sports Cafe in Adams Morgan is always fun. Who’s else is having specials? Lou’s in Columbia Heights? Remember, The Prospect closed on U Street. So Solly’s? Moreland’s upstairs in 16th Street Heights? Brookland’s Finest? Navy Yard will have some outdoor action too. Where will you watch?

“The Bullpen will air all Washington Capitals games with sound on their brand-new Bullpen Big Screen. Fans can catch all the action at The Bullpen as the Caps take on the Lightning in the NHL Conference Finals. Game 1 kicks off during Truckeroo on Friday, May 11th, with Games 2-7 offering $5 drink specials from May 13 through 23, 2018.

“Dear PoPville,

What are the best bars to watch Caps games in DC? I’ve tried all the advertised “favorites” (Ventnor, Penn Quarter) but am always disappointed. Last couple of times my boyfriend and I went to either, we had to ask for the game to be put on. I’d love to find a great spot to watch the playoffs. I’ve lived here long enough to know the Caps fanbase is a good one—so where is everyone? I would’ve asked earlier but I didn’t want to jinx last night’s game!”
