About this venue

Welcome to Mission Navy Yard, a lively bar and restaurant located across from Nationals Park and three blocks from Audi Field. We opened in July 2018 and eagerly provide a vibrant bar scene, daily happy hour, spacious private event and outdoor spaces and delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. Our sister restaurant, Mission Dupont, has been serving strong margaritas and tasty tacos since 2014. We refuse to believe that a restaurant only has one purpose: we aim to provide a bustling bar scene, comfortable dining and versatile private event spaces that can accommodate groups of all sizes. Our spaces are created to be welcoming for brunch, happy hour, dinner and private events, as well as those looking to rewind in a vibrant weekend late-night atmosphere. On Friday and Saturday nights after dinner and game watches have ended we welcome some of the city's best DJs to keep things going strong right until close.
