General Descriptions

The DC Dragon Boat practices at a lively waterfront in SW DC, with plenty of restaurants, a busy seafood market, and a few bars within walking distance of the practice site.

Walk a couple more miles or hop on the metro for a swift ride and you are in the middle of the National Mall.

We will continue to update this page more toward the beginning of the 2009 season, so that members and guests will be well informed and can make a fully worthwhile trip along the way to and from the DC Dragon Boat Club.

See the detailed tourist map below for the area's points of interest.
Trace 7th Street down toward the Waterfront, and we are just right at the Arena Stage Marker on the map, between 6-7th Streets & Water Street SW.

Place We Have Tried or Know

Bars & Restaurants

Cantina Marina is a bar with a great open atmosphere overlooking the river that's really just a few steps from our gate, the same gateway.
We often drag our beat-up bodies to the Cantina for a drink & chill out a bit after practice.
It's a cool place, and if you catch a bunch of wet rats in their exercise clothing, that's likely us!.

Phillips Seafood Restaurant
A well established seafood restaurant that offer both a buffet and dinning menu, down the street from us.
