From our friends at The Wharf...

Complimentary Nats Stadium Shuttle Service Offered for Patrons

Hoffman-Madison Waterfront, the master developer of the 24-acre world-class, mixed-use, waterfront community The Wharf in Southwest Washington, D.C., today announced that Cantina Marina, D.C.’s only dock bar, has re-opened the tower and deck and will be opening the dock bar area on Tuesday, March 17, weather permitting.

Cantina Marina also announced a new complimentary shuttle service for patrons to and from Nationals Park on home game days. The shuttle will run from one hour before games through the 2nd inning, then resume from the 8th inning until 30 minutes after game. Anyone is welcome with proof of purchase at Cantina Marina.

“We are thrilled to be reopening for our 13th season, and to be a long-term restaurant here at The Wharf,” said Cantina Marina owner Nick Fontana.

“Cantina Marina is an institution in Southwest - and for all of the District,” said Monty Hoffman, founder and CEO of PN Hoffman. “It is great to see D.C.’s only dock bar and restaurant reopening after the harsh winter. This will be a great kick-off to what will be an exciting spring at The Wharf.”

“We are hopeful that the patrons drawn to the waterfront to enjoy Cantina Marina will appreciate the experience of seeing the construction of The Wharf underway,” said David Brainerd, chief investment officer of Madison Marquette. “It’s great to see Cantina Marina reopen and thrive.”
