Cantina Marina Opens Early, Thanks to Teddy

Spring has come early at Cantina Marina in Southwest, with a little help from Teddy.

The dockside bar at 600 Water St. SW announced it opened yesterday for the season after Nationals racing president Teddy “didn’t see his shadow,” following the lead of Potomac Phil last month.

Teddy didn't see his shadow, so spring begins today. Cantina Marina is OPEN! NOW! @ Cantina Marina https://t.co/XYLF3mtSUi

Cantina Marina initially was scheduled to open March 19. The Wil Gravatt Band, a country music group, is slated to play that day from 2 to 6 p.m.
