Literally none
ETA: Okay that's not totally true, but it feels like it. We went to a place called the Big Stick a few blocks away. It wasn't bad. And then there is a place called the Bullpen that's just a big lot in a shipment yard with bars and food trucks. It looked kind of fun.

Its in a crappy area of DC (Anacostia) so there is nothing really around it, although it's been a couple years since I've been maybe they've built some stuff around it.
Transportation - metro.
Stadium is okay, nothing spectacular. Almost has too much of a "new" feel to it.
I'd recommend driving 45 min north to Camden yards. Much better venue and a lot more to do around the stadium.

Green line.
Barracks Row is nearby and has an awesome collection of bars and resturaunts. The area closest to the stadium is more barren.
Hotel wise there are a ton of options. If you'd rather walk to the game the Capitol Hill Hotel is a mile away in a great little part of Penn Ave.
Whatever you do, just stay on the west side of the Anacostia.

Never been, but we had looked about going to DC back in April, but ended up not going. There is a Hilton property (Hampton Inn & Suites) right across the street from the park, corner of N Street and 1st Street SE.
Big plus is that Navy Yard metro is a block up and a block over - M Street and New Jersey.
There is also a Courtyard a block north of the metro at New Jersey and L Street.

A few times.

Not sure about that. I live in the area. There are tons of hotels that are an easy metro ride or Uber to the stadium.
Nearby bars? Restaurants?
They have this bar/restaurant area right outside of the stadium, but other than that in not sure.
Best transportation to stadium?
Metro, although it's had serious maintenance issues lately. It should be fine to take to the park though. You could also Uber.
Thanks

The Navy Yard is a few blocks down M street, the area is pretty safe. Lots of bars and such have opened in the past few years, check out Blue Jacket. As for transport, you'll take the green line metro to Navy Yard, just be sure to get off at Navy Yard.. if you miss the stop you'll be entering Indian country.

In a few years when everything is built up in the area it will have a lot to do.
Stay in Arlington VA it has plenty of restaurants and bars and you can take the metro into dc for the game.

What tweedle Dee here didn't tell you is that metro is being worked on. And good luck going to Le'fante Plaza and switching over to green for the game.

game had a rain delay and locals around us were telling is the trains could stop running before the game ended. but we had a car so not sure if thats true

I always like the bullpen bar before and after the game.
A restaurant that has pretty good food nearby is Bluejacket.
Also, don't forget the have the $5 happy hour at the Budweiser Loft pre-game in the stadium.
And stay in Chinatown, direct shot on the Green Line for the game.

I used to live in Chinatown, the proximity to the green line isn't really worth it. U street if you're a hipster, Georgetown if you have some money, Glover if you are an SEC frat bro, or Arlington if you grew up in northern Virginia and went to Va Tech.
