Cafe Berlin

For good German drafts served in the proper glass, try Cafe Berlin on Capitol Hill.
The setting is European, the staff is authentically German, and although the owners think of the establishement as a restaurant, this is DC's best sidewalk Biergarten.
You can sit facing the tanning salon next door and maybe get lucky.
They will always have several German imports on tap, such as Bitburger, Kostritzer, and a hefeweizen.
The food is excellent and also German.
The clientele is upscale, eclectic, and predominantly alternative.
Don't miss the asparagus festival in the spring.
