Whether you are a college basketball fanatic or are just hoping to win some spending money from your bracket, it’s hard to say no to food and drink deals – no matter what the occasion may be.
As March Madness continues, get out of your residence hall and head to these to take advantage of food and drink deals around the District while you watch the game.
Penn Social
If you are rooting for a team in the Atlantic 10 Conference, you’re in luck. Penn Social, a two-level sports bar in Penn Quarter, is offering $5 Devils Backbone Brewing Company beers and $4 Miller Lites and Blue Moons for visitors who wear A-10 gear. Wear your favorite Atlantic Cost Conference or Big Ten team’s swag like a hat or jersey during any March Madness game, and the sports bar will give you happy hour drink prices – which include $2 off draft beers, $5 rail drinks and $6 glasses of wine – all night long.

Across the Pond
Across the Pond – a restaurant and pub in Dupont Circle – is serving up wing and beer deals during March Madness.
