Retro arcade bar with pinball, pool, cocktails & views
"Accessed from an elevator inside subterranean Players Club, Skybox offers one of the few outdoor vantage points of 14th Street NW’s nightlife strip below. Enjoy bar-hopping views while sipping draft cocktails starting at 5 p.m. and 2 p.m. on weekends. New next-door sibling bar the Muni pairs glass-enclosed views of the bustling corridor with a side of golf." - Tierney Plumb
"Located beneath the upstairs golf‑simulator concept in the same Mai Place building (1400 14th Street NW), this retro‑styled drinking den from H2 Collective leans into arcade games, DJs, and a nostalgic, low‑key nightlife vibe. The downstairs spot features arcade cabinets, DJs, and casual entertainment, and it orders food in from a neighboring Shake Shack. The operators position the two levels as complementary — “We like to say the upstairs venue is the 'graduate' of this place,” says H2’s regional operations manager Chris Janiak — with the downstairs den serving as the retro foundation for the more elaborate simulator and golf‑club aesthetic above." - Tierney Plumb
"The Hilton brothers’ retro-chic drinking den keeps regulars entertained with pinball, pool, Skee-Ball, a photo booth, and even a vending machine stocked with sex toys. Zip up the elevator to access a scenic drinking perch during warmer months. Customers can order in burgers and fries from Shake Shack upstairs." - Eater Staff
"The throwback ‘70s vibe of this Logan Circle arcade bar make it a crazy popular spot on weekends. The good news is that there are multiple pool tables to choose from, along with many other entertainment options to suit everything from a date night to an after-work outing." - Travis Mitchell
"The Hilton brothers’ retro arcade bar, tucked under Shake Shack in Logan Circle, officially reboots service on Wednesday, April 7. Its ’70s sports-themed “Skybox” rooftop boasts sky-high views of the surrounding neighborhood. Reservations aren’t accepted to start, and games remain unplugged due to COVID-19 restrictions. Opening hours are 5 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday (and starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday)." - Tierney Plumb
