TAKODA Aims to Be One of the Best Bars in DC with Craft BrewsThere are few places in the district where guests can enjoy both a lively, bubbling rooftop party, along with fresh, perfectly carbonated beer served in a distinct, purposeful fashion. While ever-popular pubs are serving PBR and blasting top-40 hits, TAKODA is doing something different, making this new restaurant one of the best beer bars in DC. Offering a refined, seasoned atmosphere to U-street partygoers and diners, TAKODA still retains an element of class and surprise that leaves other establishments wondering what happened.

Craft Beer vs Microbrew |
Can you tell the difference between craft brew and microbrews? The difference may shock and astound the readers. A microbrew is just how it sounds, small batches of beer, no more than 15,000 barrels in total, per year. To be considered for microbrew status, one must sell at least 75% of its beer outside the grounds of the main brewery. Craft beer status, in contrast, cannot exceed approximately 2 million barrels, per year, and must set stringent limitations on beer production and fermentation procedures. That being said, craft brewers cannot water down their malts beyond 50%, and must limit the useful ingredients to commodities that enhance the overall flavor and distinct style of the brew.

How to Choose the Right Malt |
With such a wide variety and spectrum of tastes and production methods, it is no surprise drinkers can become lost in the journey. This is where TAKODA comes in as one of the best U Street Bars. Our bartender(s) will pair the exact flavor and embodiment that represents you, in a package that compliments the guests’ appetizers, entrees and desserts. Whether partial to a fully-embodied, rich approach like the Southwest Torrent, or a lighter, fruitier flavor, like the Peppercorn Saison, there’s a fully stocked selection for budgets and palates of all tastes and sizes. Experiment with some local craft, from brewers right from the Shaw neighborhood, such as the Citizen, or Rowdy Rye. Explore more refined, worldwide options such as the Allagash, or Union Jack Pale ale.
