Very cool place, we were there for a France v Australia World Cup game. The place was packed but the food didn't take much to be served, it was very tasty too. Had a couple of dark beers, and some shots, the prices are very acceptable for the quality of food, cleanliness of the place, and friendliness of the staff.

  • R Oki

My company had a holiday party there and the food looked good but the flavors were not good. The service was good but the atmosphere was a little off. However it is large enough to accommodate larger groups. They definitely check IDs so don't play games with them and the staff was polite. Also it was clean More

You enter Penn Social and you think okay this is a pretty cool, spacious place, so you order a beer and get to questioning the stairs, and then you realize the place is absolutely gigantic. There's a whole other world down there, complete with skeeball and cornhole. And tremendous TVs for watching the sports.

  • Manuel Martinez

This place is awesome and a great bar and restaurant. Upstairs the vibe is chill with couches to lounge and spacious tables for a normal size party. Downstairs has a fun atmosphere with a dance floor, bars, standing tables, and even arcade games! The food is very good and they have very good wings!

  • Khoi Nguyen

Love coming here with friends. Place can accommodate any party size. You've got board games and a bunch of other types of games downstairs. They have great pitcher beer deals for large groups. Highly recommend this place. There is plenty of street parking around this block

  • Kevin Mahmalji

Great bar with plenty of entertainment for any group large or small! With trivia, live music and more than 30 beers on draft, it's a great venue to check out alone or with a group of friends. Considering an event or happy hour with coworkers? They can accommodate!

  • James Walker

Great fun witnessed by all at the annual event(Cupid's Undie Run), to raise awareness for children's tumor research. Runners braved winter weather, around scenic one mile course, included views of U. S. Capitol, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Kimpton Hotel Monaco.

  • Amy Jame

Used to be incredible! One of my favorite bars. They took away the upstairs bar space, which was one of my favorite bits. The entire vibe has changed downstairs too. Missing what it was and who it had behind the counters ❤️ still a solid choice.

  • Robert McGee

Benito was amazing. Sometimes being in a new watering hole can be intimidating, but this place was different. Very welcoming and hospitality we were celebrating a special occasion and benito gave us his special house shots.....I be back soon.

  • Christina Chedid

It used to be kind of worn and dirty, but we would still come here for work drinks. Had to play flip cup for a work event (yes, "had" to, I had to show that I'm a team player), but I can't drink beer, so the bartender accomodated with rum.

  • Erin Steele

We rented out Penn Social for a wedding weekend welcome event, and we are so glad we did! It used to be a sports bar my husband and I both really liked, but they've redone it as an event space and it was perfect for our out of town guests

THE BOUNCER IS AN ASSAULTER - this weekend when we went to Penn Social, my female friend was physically grabbed by one of the male bouncers without her consent. When I went to the manager to file a complaint, he said he wasn’t there so he

  • H.A.G Entertainment

We have been in contact with Penn Social for almost 2 years inquiring about hosting an event we do across the country. First, we were told that we would have to wait until the new policy was created for promoters. Since THEY considered us

  • Makesha Jackson

Went to an event over the weekend and though the event was amazing, the food was not at all what I was expecting. We ordered the crab dip, crab cake sliders and two orders of wings. The wings Pier great and flavorful. The crab dip however

  • Clotilde Schnell

Don't go to this place. Apart from the non-existent decoration, I order a glass of wine (served in a plastic cup, not great but that's normal it seems in the US), the bartender was absolutely mean, she attended an other client while I was

  • Melissa Curry

The food was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. This was our first time in D.C and we had high hopes. The nachos were almost like a joke. There was zero love in that food. We were also told we couldn’t get any happy hour prices and it

  • Axel Robertson

This place is absolutely amazing. The location is great, the place is massive like an iceberg, upstairs looks big but it's just the tip, downstairs is where the fun is. If you're a sports fan you have 360 degrees of giant screens showing

  • Michaela

I looooove Penn Social! As a non drinker, it's great to have a bar with so many fun activities ( cornhole, giant connect four, skeeball, basketball, arcade games) and great music. There's a dance floor with huge big screens that stream

  • Kai Pantin

My company's holiday party was held at Penn Social, and my team was thrilled. The event space was perfect, the games were fun, and the staff was outstanding. Jacalyn, the Event Manager, was truly fantastic - responsive, flexible, and

We had an evening event at Penn Social and it was amazing!!!! We cannot say enough great things about the facility and the staff. If you are looking to host an event (big or small) in DC, you should definitely check this place out!

  • Natalie Wilson

Stopped in with my friends for some late night drinking and dancing. The DJ was excellent, played a great mix of music. The bar service was a little slow, but the place was packed late on a Saturday night.

  • Varun Hariharan

If you’re looking for a chill place to watch some sports and have a great array of craft beer and bar food, look no further. This place is great for sports lovers and those looking for a beer alike! More

  • Sebastian Salas

This spot is great to hang out! I’ve gone several times to play some ping pong and have some drinks. The ambient is nice and the Mango frozen margarita is ridiculous, give it a try, it’s amazing! More

  • Brenda Falkenstein

Nice sports and game bar. Often has events like karaoke and has a ton of really great arcade machines like giant pac man. Downstairs is really roomy for a dc bar. Good place to hand out

  • Christian Oliva

Visited this sports bar during happy hour. Server forgot to apply happy hour pricing, though, and had to be asked to correct the tab. Nice drinks and good pretzels. More

  • Travis Arthur

Quiet during Happy Hour. Plenty of space and games to play but not very crowded.

Service is terrible. I ordered a drink, and received it 30 minutes later. No apology, no discount or refund.

  • Victor Torres

Cool bar that you can go to enjoy a drink or too and play some games while you're there.
