Great bar in DC — delicious drinks, plenty of space, and lots of fun games to keep the night going.

Best bar in the district. Staff are always so nice. Arcade games, good beer, good prices, good vibes.
Night started off great. Says open till 2 AM. The closed at 1:30. Last call at 1:25. They literally started picking people pool balls off the table while they were playing even though they paid for the hour of pool…. They also cut off the music at 1:25 even though we paid $30 for queued music and they said “tough”…. Save the walk and the money. Better spots on D.C.
Staff was terrible here, bartenders and security were dismissive and rude. We waited at the bar for drinks for over 5 minutes even though it wasn't busy. Other patrons in the bar were also rude, and the security just made the situation worse.
Overall a terrible experience, and the bar had bad vibes. Highly recommend avoiding.

I heard a lot about this place. I went for the first time last weekend. From the outside it reminds me of Paddy’s pub from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia. It looks like a dive bar from the outside. Going down some stairs revealed a massive gorgeous setup. It’s way bigger than you would think. They have 3 bars that can make anything. They make a mean Long Island ice tea. They have darts, plenty of Pool tables, pinball, free throw games, as well as some other games. TVs with that nights marquee sporting event on. The crowd is more chill vibe 25-40. As opposed to say the maddhatter in DuPont which has a big college crowd. And is high energy. I’ll be back soon. Don’t judge a book by its cover. This place rules

Cool dive bar. Nothing to write home about, I wish they took more care of the area. Seemed a bit underwhelming and dirty.

Sign says they close at 2:00. Everyone was kicked out of the bar at 1:45. Totally okay to close whenever. Just advertise the correct time.

When you just have to get in that game of pool… 🎱
Cool theme, popular but the bartender puts you on the list for the table. You rent the balls (no need for quarters). Lots of other games to play: shuffleboard, darts, some retro arcade games (nba jam, big buck hunter) a newer pinball machine, skeetball, bubble hockey, basketball…
Not a bad place to shoot pool or have a drink. Located directly across the street from the Capital One Arena. They don’t serve food but you are welcome to bring your own food in.
