“For Rochester natives and upstate New York food enthusiasts who crave wings, beef on weck, garbage plates, and Zweigel's hots, and more. Sports & Social is nothing short of a holy grail. The news of Sports & Social opening in D.C. had us thrilled—and it delivers the authentic upstate New York food experience we hoped for. We had the wings which are nothing short of amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the medium heat sauce is fantastic. The beef on weck has the perfect weck roll, fresh and made daily in DC. The meat is from another of our D.C. favorites, 2Fifty Barbeque. One of the best weck sandwiches I've had. The vibe is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is a game-changer. We will be returning this week.“

“I loved the space and went with friends all the time so I’m leaving a 5 star review. Everyone is really great and accommodating. However, for my birthday my fiancé booked me a swing evaluation. I’m not that good at golf but usually swing around 105. I wanted to switch from my strong grip to weak grip but it just wasn’t clicking when I worked by myself. I worked with Gaza, a golf pro there. The first 15 minutes were great because he was telling me how to do everything with a weaker style grip. I honestly learned so much and am excited to take my knowledge to the range to fix my swing. However, during the lesson he became more and more upset that what he was telling me wasn’t clicking, and that I couldn’t hit the ball well. By the end of it, he was verbally frustrated and wouldn’t look me in the eye or acknowledge me in any way really. I’m surprised that me not picking it up immediately affected him so much but maybe I caught him on a bad day. Not sure I want to go back now after that experience he made me feel really bad about myself.“

“Went to Mixxed DC for Saturday brunch with a party of six, and overall it was a great experience. First off, love that it's Black-owned and has a dope graffiti-style vibe inside. I was originally supposed to go in August, and they were super accommodating with rescheduling.

We were seated right away and opted for the unlimited mimosa special ($50), which includes one entrée. Just a heads up: everyone at your table has to participate in the special to get it, which was a little frustrating since one of us doesn't drink. Thankfully, they made an exception and let him do unlimited mocktails so we could all still enjoy the deal.

Since we had six people, they gave us three pitchers, and those mimosas were hittin! Highly recommend trying the peach flavor. We definitely left brunch very tipsy lol.

For food, I had the Biscoff pancakes, which were rich and tasty--7/10. Only thing I'd change is how the cookie butter was only on the top pancake; I would've loved it layered throughout. They came with fresh fruit and I added a side of scrambled eggs.

I also got to try the shrimp and grits which was definitely a standout! 9/10. So flavorful!

We added a hookah to our experience (separate from food, around $40), and it was a fun touch. The DJ came in during the middle of our brunch and turned it up with 90s/2000s rap and R&B, had the whole place vibing.

Service was great, staff was friendly and helpful the whole time. I'd absolutely recommend Mixxed for a fun brunch outing with friends. Just make sure your whole crew is ready for bottomless!“
