H Street Country Club

Washington, DC

LoginSave

The Country Club is three levels of great. The bottom floor is packed with pool tables, skeeball and shuffleboard, while the upper floor contains its own minigolf course ($9 to play) done up to resemble a small-scale Washington. You putt-putt past a trio of Lego lobbyists, through Beltway traffic snarls and past a King Kong–clad Washington monument. A rooftop deck sits on top.

The whole vibe of the place just facilitates a relaxed atmosphere where it’s very easy to strike up conversations with locals – if you’re shy and new to town, we’d highly recommend joining the Country Club.
