It appears as though an opening date is in sight for a long-anticipated beer garden in Navy Yard.

The Brig aims to open at 1007 8th St. SE on Sunday, May 1, according to a new banner spotted by local blogger JDLand. The forthcoming beer garden also recently set up some benches, JDLand noted.

The new business will seat 210 and serve 299 as detailed in a building permit issued in 2014. Plans for a beer garden at that address first materialized in 2010, according to JDLand.
