🚨 WELL, WELL, WELL… LOOK WHO MADE THE WASHINGTON POST! 🚨

Your favorite neighborhood sports bar just got named one of the TOP 10 SPORTS BARS ( #4) IN THE ENTIRE D.C. AREA! 🏆

Apparently, 50+ wing flavors, 30 TVs, cold drinks, great staff, and 17 years of listening to people yell at referees is a winning formula. 😂

All jokes aside, this recognition means A LOT.

Huge shoutout to our amazing staff who keep this place running, our regulars who make it feel like home, and everyone who has supported us since 2009.

To those who shared such kind words featured in the article; THANK YOU! 🙏

And a big thank-you to The Washington Post for shining a spotlight on our little corner of Ballston! goingoutguide

We wouldn’t be First Down without you ALL! ❤️
