We decided to stay and check it out, @1pm on a Sunday. Brunch is from 11a-4pm. There was only 1 other person for brunch, when we arrived. There was a DJ was that playing super loud music. Mostly rap music. The food was good. Fresh salad, fruit, meats etc. Unlimited mimosas was $25 per person. We could only order 1 flavor at a time, which there was about 8 flavors. They were good By 3pm, the place was more so filling up. What was crazy was at 4pm, the workers started breaking down the buffet-- quickly!! A group that had arrived @ 3 were caught off guard that brunch was ending. The workers did provide everyone with TAKE HOME Boxes, so we filled our boxes as fast as they were breaking it down lol Hookah guy arrived, think it was a total of $68. The hookah was good Gratuity is automatically included. Our waitress was GREAT! Only thing I didn't like, the place had her walking around in a tight leopard body suit, with her arms out, like this was the Playboy mansion. It was cold in there. I would come back for brunch - just know, there was not a mention of a Buffet brunch online

I love the cabanas they have for lounging and eating/drinking. Since the event was catered, I can't speak on the service too much, but the spread of food was impressive and delicious.

This museum is so magical!…read more Our group of nine had a blast weaving our way from room to room. The museum is equally fun for kids and adults with topics like language, reading, translation and karaoke to make a few. Everything was so well thought out and interactive. I couldn't get enough of the library room where books come to life with video-like illustrations building off the pages. It felt like we were transported into Belle's massive and dreamy library from Beauty and the Beast complete with a secret hidden room off the side (tucked behind a bookcase door). We had kids ages 2-5 and it was perfect for them. Note that you'll need to park strollers in the basement level. To top it all off, we had a fabulous lunch at Immigrant Food located on the lower level. Oh, how could I forget to mention that the museum is free? Amazing!

Funny story - I was looking for kid-friendly ideas of things to do in DC and asked ChatGPT for…read moreideas. One of the responses was the Planet Word museum, which I never heard of. I looked it up and decided to try it! They recommend you get timed passes online ahead of time; it's free but they do recommend a donation. This museum is SO COOL! As someone who loves different languages and words I loved everything about this place! My kids loved all of the interactivity. There is a room with an interactive word wall and you can interact and answer and request more info on the history of certain words. For example, I learned that "ketchup" was named after a Chinese sauce even though they are not similar. There is also a magical library room where you can pick a book off the shelf and place it on a book holder and the book is read to you. There are also mirror shadow boxes that come to life if you read the inscription. Finally, the kids loved the karaoke room - you select a song and as you sing along you see the types of parts of speech at play in the song. Great experience, would for sure recommend and go back!

In October I went to Drunk Dracula in DC for my first Drunk Shakespeare experience, and I laughed…read moreso much. If you've never been, just know this isn't your typical theater outing--it's way more interactive, chaotic (in a good way), and just plain fun. When you walk in, there's a bar, but you don't order directly from it. Each seat has a QR code, and the staff delivers drinks right to you, which is super convenient. Once you enter the theater area, you're even given a complimentary shot to kick things off--great way to set the tone for the night. The venue itself is small and really intimate, which makes the whole experience better. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The seats along the stage are bench-style with cubbies underneath for your stuff, while the upper-level seating has stools set behind bookcases that wrap around parts of the stage. The drink menu includes themed cocktails, plus wine, beer, and spirits--expect to pay around $15 per drink. There are also light snacks, but portions are small and a bit pricey, so don't count on them to fill you up. If you do order food, the stools by the bookcases are definitely the best seats since you'll have a surface to put your plate on--otherwise, it's lap dining. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. There's a lot of audience participation, and the actors absolutely commit--including proving they're actually drinking. One thing I didn't realize beforehand is that not the entire cast drinks--there's usually one designated drinker, which honestly makes it even funnier and leads to some unforgettable moments. The performance is an abbreviated version of the story, mixed with plenty of local references that keep it fresh and relatable. The Drunk Shakespeare company also puts on other holiday-themed shows throughout the year, which is awesome. I'll definitely be back to check out Drunk Christmas Carol.

There so many current nuances woven into the show that makes it hilarious and the props. Please go and have a good night whether solo, date night, or with friends. You'll have a great time. Not to mention, you get a welcome shot upon entering the theatre. One thing, I found really nice is that you order from your phone and the servers bring you everything at your seat.

It was definitely a chill, laid back adult vibe with excellent music. I believe the music was by DJ BG. He definitely was playing the throwbacks that brought me back. They do have hookah for purchase and had a grill set up outside for food. Not sure if there is a kitchen inside for other cooked food. The place is small and intimate. We ended up just ordering drinks from the bar. Not sure if table service is provided on other n8ght when it is more busy but the bartender was quick and efficient. Definitely excited to return when I just want to chill and vibe to good music.

I realized afterward that there aren't many reviews mentioning how great it is for kids. I honestly thought we'd be there for about an hour. Instead, they spent nearly two and a half hours exploring and going back to their favorite exhibits over and over again. They loved the exhibit where it looks like your head is being served on a platter and kept taking turns with it because they thought it was hilarious. They also enjoyed the rooms that make people appear different sizes and the mirror exhibits. Their absolute favorite was the spinning tunnel. It makes me dizzy every time, but they thought it was the funniest thing ever and must have gone through it dozens of times. The only reason we left was because it was a school night. If you're looking for a fun indoor activity for kids, especially on a hot day, I would definitely recommend checking it out.

It feels like a friend's rich parent's fancy basement where you would get super wasted and play games with friends. Definitely come on a chill weeknight when it's quiet to avoid the chaos. The machines are pricier than other barcades, so we played more board games than pinball. It's more of a place to have a drink than to game for me. The bartender seemed unhappy when we walked in, and our group of 4 were the only customers so that was a bit awkward. The door guy was awesome though. We'd absolutely come back when in DC.

The music is always a great mix of 80s hits (Bee Gees, ABBA, MJ, etc.). The drinks are appropriately priced. If you're coming here to play billiards on the weekend, don't bother. It's almost impossible to get a table, unless you can beat the finance bros. Still super fun!

Our primary server at the bar twice has been Leon. He is amazing! We do not recall our other primary server but everyone works together as a team! This is what makes a great restaurant and experience. The food has been presented and prepared great the three time we have visited! We have had the happy hour special of a hot dog served with chips or a small salad. The salad is very nice and the kettle chips are great! I have also had the chicken tacos that I had served with the side salad. It's literally one two many tacos for me! This is a great place for couples and family's! Lots of games and not to loud music. If you sit at the bar there is also a nice view of the water/Wharf area! Overall this has been a great experience! Don't miss this place!

I thought I'd seen everything weren't it comes time to pay but last night was a "are you kidding…read moreme?" moment. I'm pretty much immune to seeing "convenience fee", "service fee", "living wage fee", or some such surprise when the bill comes but last night was a new fresh hell. I stopped into Boardwalk on the Wharf for a quick drink and a bite to eat. I ordered a drink and looked at the menu. I didn't see anything on the menu I liked so I asked for the check. The bill was $9.19 and I tried to give my server a $20 bill but was told this - "Sorry, you don't get any change if you pay with cash." Meaning I would have to use my credit card or pay an extra $10.81. That's more than the price of the actual drink. AYFKM?? Is this even legal?

A bit over priced, but I'm assuming people want to make their money back from Covid. I would love to see an exhibit here or something like that. I feel like it would be such a dope experience. But, I def had fun none the less. Parking was super easy to find and it was a pretty cool turnout. It's an amazing place to take photos. I'd def come again, just for that alone.

Always passes thru the building but never been inside. Coming inside, be ready to immerse yourself in art. There is 2 levels inside the building. It's very cool to walk around the different exhibits.

There is at least 1 staff present inside the building, but they are mostly there to answer any of your questions. If you come here, please know that photography is fine to be taken here. Not sure about private events / photo shoots. If you come here, it takes about an hour to see everything unless you move faster around the exhibits.

There are free lockers to hold purses, back packs, etc-use this bonus because these items will be in the way. There is a shelf in the game room for beverages. Here is the skinny: the game is a screen that covers 3 wall spaces. Too many people and they're in the way. We had 9 the room with 6 playing. We did have to constantly move out of the way during play. The staff were kind, accommodating, informative and just super cool! We appreciated being given instructions on the best package and the best games for our group's dynamic.
