Puttery

Perfect place for a date night! The mini golf courses are adorable, and the unlimited game play makes it that you can spend hours trying different versions of mini golf. Get competitive! The decorations are on point, a great attention to detail, and the staff has always been very warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back, and will recommend to everyone around me!

I have been wanting to visit Puttery for a while, so when I saw that the Holly Jolly Holiday popup bar had arrived, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally go. I was already across the street at the Downtown DC Holiday Market, so I grabbed the first available reservation on Friday at 5:15. Puttery is a charming spot and now I definitely want to come back for a full round of mini golf. The Holly Jolly Holiday popup is set in its own section and has a cheerful holiday vibe with cute decor touches and small photo opportunities. I wish the space had been a bit larger, but it still felt fun and cozy. The cocktail menu features a nice mix of festive drinks. I ordered the Jolly Pear 75 made with spiced pear liqueur, gin, lemon and sparkling wine. It was bright, lightly sweet and very seasonal. I paired it with the Parmesan truffle fries, which were crispy, flavorful and had a strong truffle aroma that actually delivered. The bartenders were warm and welcoming and the whole experience had an easygoing holiday feel. If you are looking for a festive seasonal outing, Holly Jolly is a fun addition to your holidays list and pairing it with a mini golf game at Puttery makes the visit even better.

We had a great time golfing. The different courses were great. Food was pretty good as well. The big negative was the people working there. It seemed like the whole 3 hrs we were, none of them wanted to be there. It was hard to find someone to help us, and then a couple other people just made us feel luke they didn't want to be there. That, unfortunately made me give this place 3 stars. We were there for my son's birthday so we made it a good time.

Was a interesting experience. We arrived late got right in with our Tix but service was slow but the next group came in sooner after and it was busy. Service was slow overall but friendly. Way over priced and cheap cheap decorations but we enjoyed going to DC and it's close to the holiday market. The welcome menu was extremely limited only 3 options but tasted good. My thoughts are way over priced for what you get. The clydes restaurant and holiday market had way better decorations Would not again unless it was free .

It was our first time here and it was a HUGE BLAST AND GREAT VIBE! If you’re looking for a fun holiday spot in DC, Puttery is the place. The Holly Jolly Holiday event was solid from start to finish, and the vibe inside was exactly the mix of festive and fun you want this time of year. Huge shoutout to our host, Antwon (Antoine) — absolute MVP of the night. Super friendly, kept the energy up, checked in on us, made sure everything ran smooth, and honestly just made the whole experience better. You can tell he loves what he does. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, the holiday setup, and Antwon holding it down, this was definitely a 10/10 night. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in DC for the season! 🎄🍸⛳️ or even outside the holidays!!!!!!! will definitely be back!

Our waiter was amazing and she took such good care of us- she made our entire experience beautiful to the smallest detail. She’s here outside of the pop up bar too and honestly would ask for her by name 🥰 all recommendations she provided were more than worth while!! ( ask for Edith )

I'll start off with the TLDR for those who want the short upfront. 1. There is no happy hour at this location. 2. For one 9 hole round it is $18 per person, or $25 per person for unlimited. (They have three 9 hole courses) 3. The place is a strange ghost town. There seems to be about three people working here, the golf balls are constantly not in the little baskets before each course, the system is automated at each hole, and all of the bars by each course are closed and not servicing anyone. 4. There is no baby changing table in the mens bathroom. Overall 2/5, only gets 2 stars because it's a large space and it's convenient to get to. To add a bit more context, I really wanted to like this. I don't know if it was a bait and switch with their advertising, but i thought they'd have happy hour, drink and course specials, a holiday pop up bar, and maybe properly themed holes. I was wrong on every front. So if you're looking for any of the things mentioned above, unfortunately there really isn't an option for you in DC (especially an affordable one) The one thing that really grinds my gears is when I asked about their happy hour deals. There is nothing on their website at all. No signs when you walk in. Nothing on their social media, yet when reading these google reviews you see people mention the 'great happy hour' so what is it? Well it doesn't exist. It's a lie. A fake out. Idk if they had a happy hour at one point, but apparently they don't anymore. I asked the bartender point blank (at 230pm on a Friday mind you) if they have happy hour and he said "not on weekends". I asked "is today a weekend?" His reply "yup" and the conversation ended. I wish someone would tell my boss that apparently Friday is a weekend, because a 4 day work week sounds great! Overall I won't be visiting again and I can't recommend that you do either

Twon was amazing and so was the other staff throughout the evening. Def a vibe and I’m coming back! Also, for the holiday bar they don’t have the Uncle Eddie’s egg nog, I think they said that they will have it in Dec. Also, the wings were good! Spinach dip, amazing and the French fries were good, they had like a spicy ketchup.10/10!

We loved The Puttery in Penn Quarter! It's not your average mini golf--it's a modern, stylish spot with creative themed courses, fun music, and a lively atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel like a night out (or a cool afternoon escape). We visited on a Saturday with our kids (they allow children before 5 p.m.), and it was hands-down one of the best family-friendly indoor activities we've found in DC. The $10 unlimited play for kids 12 and under is a fantastic deal, and at $15 for adults, it's still a steal for the experience you get. You can even order drinks while you play--yes, on the course!--which added a fun twist for the grown-ups. And there's plenty of space to sit, relax, and grab food if you want to hang out before or after your round. Everything felt thoughtfully designed, from the decor to the flow of the space. Whether you're looking for a break from sightseeing or just want a fun, air-conditioned hangout that works for both kids and adults, The Puttery is a total win. We'll definitely be back!

I stumbled upon this place by accident as was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The 3 unique 9 hole courses offer a fun challenge for any skill level. Even better is the technology that's present on each hole. The tablets allow you to keep score on each hole rather than carrying around the pencil and scorecard. That same technology allows you to brag to your friends as your score is showcased for all to see. Gloat away and have fun

Review: The Puttery - Penn Quarter, DC I made a reservation for eight 50-somethings for a fun Saturday night out, and the Puttery mostly delivered. What to Know Before You Go Parking We lucked out with metered parking right outside -- a small miracle in Penn Quarter, especially if there's an event at the Verizon Center. There are garages nearby, but be warned: many require your car to be out by 10 p.m. Check the signs carefully for each garage. Check-In Head upstairs to the check-in area where friendly and knowledgeable staff greet you, explain the basics, and hand over your putter. If you're waiting for your group, you can grab a drink at the bar or relax in the cozy lounge tucked around the corner. Game Play We had an unlimited play pass, which seems pretty standard. You choose one of three themed 9-hole courses, enter your names on an iPad, and start playing. The iPads handle scorekeeping, so no need for old-school pencils and scorecards. Each course has a fun theme -- which is charming in theory -- but the hole design itself felt like an afterthought. They weren't particularly clever or challenging, just... clunky. Balls often popped off the course or got stuck behind odd obstacles. It wasn't a huge deal, but it did take away from the fun a bit. Drinks There are two bars, and you can take your drinks with you while you play. Unfortunately, the drinks were wildly inconsistent. My Moscow Mule tasted more like a lime-heavy margarita, and my husband's second Old Fashioned was three times stronger than his first. The bartenders were friendly, but service and mixology skills were hit or miss. Food Here's the surprise of the night: the food was great! Expectations were low (maybe too many memories of soggy pizza at kid birthday parties), but everything we ordered hit the mark. The chicken sandwich, pizzas, and tostadas were all crowd-pleasers. Service here was prompt and professional. Frustrations Our biggest gripe? Finding a ball to start your next course. Too often, the bins were empty, forcing us to wander other courses hoping to borrow a spare. It led to unnecessary delays and long lines -- something nearly every group around us was grumbling about. Bottom Line: The Puttery is a stylish, lively spot for a night out with friends, and we had fun -- but there's room for improvement. Better-designed holes and more consistent service would make this a true hole-in-one.

Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday this past weekend and had so much fun! There are three different courses all with different themes, so of course we explored them all. All the courses had cool backgrounds for photos! We also got the meal deal where you get an appetizer and entree for around $40, including the unlimited mini golfing. There were many good food choices to choose from. I ordered the Margherita pizza and the veggie tostados. Huge portions and both very good! None of us were able to finish our food and had enough for leftovers for the next day!

Found this place on accident and glad I did! I had time to burn after dropping teens off at a concert and this was a great spot to spend a few hours at. Highlights:: The employees were great! I first encountered bartender Robert at the back bar. He was friendly, made great drinks and provided good food recommendations! Kudos to him! The manager on shift 1 April in the evening was awesome as well and fostered a positive environment for her staff... way to be a leader and not just a manager! They have a few happy hour times so I got to mini golf and enjoy wings/drinks. Forgot to take a pic of the wings but flavor was old bay honey... perfectly cooked and love that they use multi color carrots and ranch was delicious. The mini golf is three separate areas with 9 holes each. You use an electronic screen to keep score, super cool! Planning to get a group together to do a DC trip and making this a spot to come back to!

My husband and I played some mini golf at Puttery this weekend, and it was just okay. The courses have seen better days (it felt old and worn out), and all the bars were closed except for the one at the entrance before you get to the courses (the other large bar was closed for a private event, but the small ones near the courses were all closed). We also had issues with families with young kids being jerks on one course (the parents weren't watching their kids who get cutting groups in line for the courses and then taking about 100+ swings on the hole). I've been to another indoor mini golf experience in DC, and that one was definitely better (didn't feel as rundown, had more open bars, and seemed to be adults only - if there were kids, I don't remember them). At the price you pay, I'm not intending to return to Puttery.

First time visiting and we are definitely planning on coming back soon!! They open at 3 and we had a 3:15 reservation. Once we got in we were immediately given clubs and we were off! Like a lot of 14 year olds my son didn't want to hang out with mom and dad but within minutes he was having a ball!! We had to wait a little while for our server but once she got to us Giovani was awesome! The smash burger was great and my son loved his pizza. This place seems like it would be really good at night, hanging out with friends! The ambiance was perfect.

Pros: The pizza was good. We got through three mini golf courses quickly. Cons: Upon arrival every single stall in the ladies room was out of toilet paper. We tried to order fries and were told they were out. Then we tried to order chips and dips and were told they were out - but only after we got our pizza and followed up. Only to see fries and chips come out from the kitchen later. We had ordered through the bartender who later told us they just didn't know. The server looked confused when we told her they were out of these items. An employee came through the courses to pick up old drinks which was great - but she reeked of weed so clearly smoking on the job. Listen - I am not anti weed but it was STRONG and they could probably wait till after work. Courses could use some love but they were fun. I really wanted to love this place such a cool concept.

Came for some team bonding with my coworkers. This place is in the heart of DC close to museums and the capital one arena. We ubered in but I know this area and know this place would be really difficult to park in. I recommend ride share or Metro. The place is adorable. You enter a beautifully themed area with some lounge seating and a bar. We had a reserved area where we had some drinks and apps to share. We did have a tee-time and we were split into groups of 4-5 to play mini golf through some really cute and instagrammable rooms! My favorite was the Warhol themed room. You track your scores on tablets at each station and there's a lot of opportunity for pictures! When you get to the end, there is a display with everyone's scores. Upon exiting, we saw that there was a whole nother huge bar and lounge area in the back. We were there in a weekday so it was too slow to open up the bar back there, but I imagine this back bar would be a great place to hang out on a weekend!

Fun putt putt with creative designs and aesthetics that give you a lot to take in while the rest of your party is hitting (if you don't need to watch them like a hawk because they tend to cheat like my friend). I love that if you purchase the three courses, you can repeat the courses as many times as you'd like. The drinks were okay but the one shareable I had - Veggie Tostada - was scrumptious. My friend said their burger tasted like it was made with love. The venue is huge and offers a lot of things to see and take in. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful.

***Disclaimer: This review does not factor in drinks or food.*** So, let's start with the location. The Puttery is conveniently located across the street from the Portrait Gallery, so, if your heart desired, you could make it an "artsy kind of day" commingled with the vibes that the decor in Puttery provides. As it pertains the parking, there are quite a few options for street parking near by the establishment. On to the cost, which was $15 for a cute, fun experience. So the ambience... the Puttery gives a cute, active date day/night feel for the girls, homies, and or the love interest. There are three different courses that all gives a unique/cute vibe for a potential photo shoot. The Puttery experience probably can last you approximately 45 minutes to an hour with the inclusion posing for pictures, playful/competitivr banter, and simply just playing putt putt. Overall, it was a good time something I feel that many will enjoy.

This is a really cute concept and great delivery for price. For $15 per person, the courses are all super creative, beautifully designed, and lots of fun. We loved the 3 different courses and the themes were all beautifully done. There is plenty of space for large parties and this would be great for a big group to come play. A staff member will check you in to each course and then you self guide through it so you can go at your own pace. Can't speak on the food or drink. Very aesthetic inside if you want cute ig pics for your birthday or outing. One star oof because the staff were not super friendly. But I notice this most places in dc (I'm from the south) so it may just be a cultural difference. We had to track people down to check us in at every course. But mostly they were fine just seemed over it. Would probably come back.

Much respect to Brandon the bartender for an awesome Manhattan and great conversation. I would definitely return. The whole staff is cool and you have several options of miniature golf. They're about to pop off because of corporate reservations next month, so visit soon before it gets too crowded. I noticed many couples here having a good time. Service, drinks, vibes all top notch. Thank you!

Is everything ok? Went there this afternoon and the gentleman that was working the front was going through some sort of crisis. It was not busy at all but the waiter / front door gentleman was not professional nor kind. We came in polite and excited to start our experience and we were immediately told to "sit down". No please, no hey welcome folks. The only reason we stayed was because my friend was visiting in town from California. As we sat there and did our best to continue to be kind to the employee, he continued being curt and unprofessional, sometimes to the point of not even answering us. As we sat eating our meal, we watched as a few other customers came in and immediately left after engaging with this gentleman. Upon leaving, I overheard this man telling other customers that they "better not act up because he was security also".... It was a weird experience. I get if you have a bad day here or there, but after being on the food and beverage business for over 10 years and having to take over multiple roles at once at times, you take a day off if you have a bad day in order to not affect the business you work for. But the man at the front with the extremely poor attitude really needs not to work there anymore.

What an absolute gem. Great food, cocktails, and the best mini golf I've ever played. Their courses are fun and colorful and just the right amount of challenging and their digital score tracking makes it so easy. The bar staff is so personable and helpful. What a FUN. Evening.

Super fun, great food, good drinks! This place is a really cool gathering place for dates, friends, family or work outings. There's a lot of places to sit and drink, talk or eat. The decorations and themed rooms are really pretty. The service is decent, but the fun from playing mini golf in this super cool, themed escape make up for that. I love that the games are unlimited so you can stop and eat/drink and go back to playing.

The "mini golf" is just flat embarrassing. Low budget and low effort put into the "course". Anyone who enjoys this mini golf has never touched a club.

Fair warning! For some weird reason, they don't allow people under 18 after 5pm on most days. im not entirely sure why and the staff said they didn't know either! Staff seemed to not really care if you were there or not. Its a pretty relaxed place and serves alot of food. I didnt partake but some of it looked pretty good. Its not the type of mini golf place that happy gilmore played at. Its very cramped but they did what they could with the space they have.

One of my favorite things to do is mini golf. Thankfully Puttery offers time for kids/families to come in during the day. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of Puttery. The price seems high for an all day pass, but it's worth it. Unless your kid sucks at mini golf and wants to throw their club after their third par 6 in a row. The themed courses are really fun and there's plenty of photo ops. Some are more challenging than others. We even had a guy take our picture and gave it to us in a frame (for an added fee). After each course we'd take a break in one of their many rooms. We didn't eat much so I cannot review the food as much as I'd like. We will have to come another time because their menu looks great. I don't come into the city often but when I do, I look forward to coming back!

Such a fun place to visit! I am from out of town and my friend took me here. It was not busy considering it was after a hockey game. We had reservations and started playing; they have 3 courses, each with 9 holes of mini golf. The courses themselves are decorated well but the putting is not very difficult. Nonetheless, it is a good time. I love the electronic scorecards too. Afterwards, we got some drinks which were just okay. We got the filet sliders and the hot honey sausage pizza which were both pretty tasty. The entire venue is very cute and service was friendly.

So fun. Three different courses, all which such fun themes. Grab a beer and walk around, especially with the happy hour deals this is a steal. Was a little worried because my sister had told me they weren't accessible, and while that's not a problem for us would definitely look into it if you're a wheelchair user. Thanks pottery!

I'm not sure why the mixed reviews - this place was awesome. Granted, we came on a Friday midday so it wasn't super busy. We walked in, sat down, and we're immediately helped. The front of house server was super quick and efficient. We came in wanting to do the art gallery but everyone suggested the conservatory. It was cool, but after that we did the art gallery and we did like that one better. We walked through illusion and it honestly looked best so we were sad we didn't try that one. All the courses were perfectly set up with some challenge, and the score cards were easy to use. We had so much fun! The bars all over and bar carts were great, we got good service all afternoon. Such a fun spot, we would be here regularly if we could! Highly recommend for an entertaining afternoon.

Came here for a corporate outing. I chose not to play the mini golf game. However, I did enjoy the food and the atmosphere. There was great pepperoni that was flower shaped. They had olives, and also mini hamburgers. It was spacious for all of our team members to talk to each other. High recommended for a corporate outing/ team building.

Beautiful aesthetics in this unique restaurant. Went for the new-ish Sunday brunch. Definitely an unbelievable deal with 1 entree and unlimited shareables for $30 (unlimited mimosas available separately for $25). Our server, Autumn was wonderful, very personable & I was impressed at how well she knew every dish on the menu. There are still a few kinks to work out with the connection between servers and the kitchen, but rating it 5/5 for its potential, including a killer atmosphere and tasty menu. The pizzas are massive and feed 3-4 easy. I ordered the breakfast pizza & it was the best breakfast pizza I've had. Tangy sauce with a kick, crumbly tender sausage and a delicious aioli on top. I would go back just for that. The poke bowl, apple & brie empanadas & French toast also stood out to me! Looking forward to going back again and playing some mini golf too!

We decided to host my baby shower at The Puttery. We were assured multiple times it was wheelchair accessible and it said so in the contract. I asked repeatedly during the event. But when my friend in a power chair showed up, staff claimed they didn't know where the elevator was, didn't know where the key was, had to call someone offsite... I waited outside in the cold with my friend for over 45 minutes, missing about a third of the three hours we booked for the baby shower. At one point staff offered to carry my friend up the stairs, which is impossible because he's in a 500 pound power wheelchair and is also an adult and weighs an adult amount of weight himself. It's also insulting and directly counter to what I any my mother were repeatedly told. This has ruined my baby shower. I am furious and will be making a complaint to the city. I do not recommend this venue -- Even if you don't use a wheelchair, the amount of being told "it's fine" when it wasn't fine, they weren't prepared at all in any way despite multiple checkins, staff took zero responsibility. One guy at the end *almost* took responsibility, but wanted a cookie because he came in on his day off to let my baby shower guest into the venue we were repeatedly assured was wheelchair accessible and which this Yelp page claims is wheelchair accessible. Just completely unacceptable and does not bode well for a number of other issues that might arise.

The course is very short and the food was passable. If you're looking for a group event that takes a few hours this might not be it. Not worth the $$ imo. The staff was nice.

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday. Cute themed concept. The staff were extremely helpful and patient taking the time to explain the game since mini golf was a new experience for some of us. The various themed spaces were really cute and were great opportunities to snap a quick pic with friends. There is also a photographer that takes pics that you can purchase for $20, if interested. We decided to grab a bite to eat after playing a few rounds. Our server, Alexandra, was super sweet. Unfortunately, the quality of the food put a damper on the evening. The ginger ale was watered down. The shareable veggie tostados looked like something you would just make in the kitchen for your toddler. Beware you only get 3 and they are very small for the price - $16. The tropical ceviche was too sweet. The birthday girl ordered the miso salmon. It was underwhelming and tasted like it had just been microwaved. I ordered the poke bowl. It was yucky and I couldn't swallow it. At this point we just wanted to speak to management. Someone else ordered the pizza, but opted not to eat it since we all were clearly ready to leave. Thankfully management comped our meals. We still tipped Alexandra who remained gracious, understanding, and patient. Not her fault the food was lousy. I would have loved to have given this place more stars. So, 1 for ambiance, 1 for service and 1 for Alexandra. That's the best I can do here.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon for a date and did not enjoy my experience. The bar itself was nice and had a cool ambiance, but the service was not great and the overall experience was not worth the price. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that, but our cocktails were overpriced for the simple drinks they served us. Also, the mini golf is definitely NOT worth it. They offer 3 courses that were really basic and lacked any real challenge or creativity. It felt like they just threw together simple obstacles without much thought. Additionally, the layout was cramped--everything was packed into a small area, making it difficult to play without getting stuck behind another group for a while. We were ready to stop playing halfway through the first course, but kept playing to get our moneys worth. We ended up leaving before finishing the third course. I wish I would've read some reviews before going rather than only looking at their website. Overall, would not recommend and will likely not be returning.

I came here for a happy hour with some coworkers. The vibes in the bar were super cool and it was easy to navigate the different courses. I've been to other indoor mini golf courses and this one was just ok, I wish they were a little more interactive/larger than life, but I did appreciate the technology for tracking score! The service was also a little slow at the bar (which is expected for such a large group), but the waitstaff was super nice and attentive, and helped us out with our questions. The drinks were delicious and the food was also pretty good. I loved the pizzas that we ordered as well as the sliders. Overall, pretty solid spot for a happy hour and fun activities!

Trendy "adult" mini golf and bar. Cocktails weren't fancy but priced as if they were. Chicken and sliders were pretty average bar food. Chicken had a nice crunch and the potato buns on the sliders went well. Good portion of fries which had a nice touch of salt. The ketchup had an interesting zest to it I've never had before. Not enough employees for a Thursday night. Had to order food at the bar. Only 1 person for working 3 9 hole courses at times and they have to sign you in each time. They use tablets to keep score. Get the unlimited pass so you can play all 3 courses. Cool decor on the courses.

$24 a round for 9 holes. Three courses to choose from, Drinks food and multiple bars. It's a good time...why don't I own one of these...hmm. The service was good, the course was fun but took only 20 minutes to complete. If it were crowded I'm sure it would take longer. No real complaint here..it's just expensive but fun so who cares. The over look and feel of the place is comfortable and fun. I'd come back and likely will!!

First off, the service was great, our bartender was super nice and attentive and gave great recommendations, the food came out fairly quick and was super delicious. We shared the hot honey sausage pizza and it might have been the best pizza I've ever eaten. As far as bar restaurant I give it a 4/5 hands down, only losing some points because the beers were a bit overpriced. The mini golf side I would give 0/5 stars if possible. We booked early 1230, they weren't super busy. I paid $44 for 9 holes of very easy mini golf. I mean a majority of the holes were very straight forward. We didn't really know that for $22 a person we got 9 holes of subpar mini golf where none of the bars were stocked and if we wanted more drinks we had to go back to the main bar. By the 3rd hole, we realized we wasted our money and even taking our time retrying putts and taking pictures we still finished in less than 15 minutes because the course is painfully Easy, and it cost us an extra $20 to play another 9. Because of that we scrapped our plans to hang out there longer and get more drinks, and instead we went down the street to another bar. At peak hours this probably makes sense as I'm sure it gets packed, but there is no reason for an early tee time to pay the outrageous fee for only 9 Holes and no bartenders on the course even though that's a big selling point. I would recommend coming for the food and drink, but save the $22 on the golf, it's simply not worth it, especially before 5pm. I recommend for these early times, give access to all Holes for that cost, or charge a discounted rate, because $22 for 10 minutes or mini golf is insane. I would have given 4/5 stars if either of the above would have occurred.

Cool concept. DC definitely needs something like this. Cute for date night or out with a group. I won't recommend it as a solo venture unless you plan to just sit at the bar. Parking around here is a mess but tons of garages to ease the headache. I recently came for a birthday celebration. We chose the "Conservatory" course, but it just ended so quickly. Also, I don't feel the price is really worth it. We sat down, and some folks ordered food and drinks. I didn't do any food but had a few fries from someone - they were super salty. Good thing I wasn't hungry. The drinks were ok - not consisently made. I ordered the same cocktail, and every time, it was different. Ugh. I'm glad I experienced it. Hadn't done miniature golf in a while, but I won't be in a hurry to visit again.

Went for an late afternoon anniversary outing with my husband. Ordered off the appetizer menu-pretty pricey and no happy hour. Wings (8) Buffalo w/celery/carrots, fries, and beef sliders and a rum coke and sprite. Waitresses good with service but not too friendly. Casual place for afternoon event. Golf was not worth $22/person for 30 minutes 9 small mini golf sets.

My coworkers and I played one round in the Art Room and had some appetizers & drinks. The whole crowd had a great time! It was fun to take pictures in different settings and get a little competitive. The food was pretty good! Had many options for everyone. The drinks were my favorite. Great spot for a date or a group!

GREAT vibes and such a fun activity. Drinks were great and all staff were very attentive and friendly. Didn't get food, but from glances it looked super good. Will definitely go back! So much fun.

Came here for date night and we had so much fun!! We did the art and conservation courses and we loved how unique all the obstacles were!! It gets a little harder with each hole but I think it's very doable and so much fun to challenge your partner!! I would definitely recommend getting the unlimited option bc we were done pretty quickly with the two courses. We got some wine and beer at the end and it was great!! I like how you can bring your drinks on the courses as well

Had a ton of fun at puttery DC! However, a few things made our experience less than 5 stars. We went to order our first round of drinks and they were all out of everything we tried to order. What bar is out of white claws on a Saturday night?! We tried to order Stella as a second choice and they were all out of that too! So we were down to our third choice and still had to wait a while for drinks! When we walked in they asked about our reservation and acted like we didn't have one for a second until they found it. It was nice they had a coat check I really appreciated that! During our first round of drink orders we tried to do order modelo and the bartender told us they were all out. However, we saw in a cooler at a different bar they had plenty of them, as well as the second bar that was closed when we got there. So rather than running downstairs and grabbing us what we wanted they told us they didn't have any. We then saw groups of patrons drinking it on the course even after they told us they were all out! I loved how they had cup holders on every hole! Every course was fun and the $30 for 90 minutes was a fair price and amount of time - you definitely need the 90 mins to play all three. We had a ton of fun playing mini golf. All of the staff was friendly to us and it's not their fault that the bar wasn't stocked but as customers it was frustrating to not have what we ordered from the menu available. Had they been stocked we'd have ordered more and spent more money! Another thing was that there was a very foul smell in parts of the establishment - could have been a sewage pipe that burst I am not sure- but it was very off putting. Thankfully that was only a part of the place but still not pleasant. Also, one of the bathroom stalls was out of order and did not flush! Overall we had a good time but it would have been even better had they had in stock the drinks they had on the menu! To the credit of the staff they were friendly and apologetic of the inconvenience and the other parties all seemed to be having fun and were kind and respectful. It's definitely a fun concept and would consider coming back with friends! But there's a few issues I believe management needs to fix to get 5/5.

One of the fun activities in DC- mini golf! I had a nice time here trying out my golfing skills. Multiple different courses to try out during your timeframe there. Make sure to reserve a timeframe on line beforehand, then you also pay for how ever many rounds you're playing within that time slot. This is a 21+ venue. Bar right when you enter as well as course attendees that can assist you with drink orders while you are on the course. They are very nice and attentive while you're golfing. There is a spot to put your drinks down at the start of every hole near the score board.

My friends and I visited Puttery for the first time. The venue is well decorated and extremely colorful. It was a bit crowded when we went on a Saturday night so prepare for a wait. I also encourage checking in as soon as you arrive. We didn't get a chance to dine in but I did order a cocktail. I tried the Good Sound & Beach Bound. It reminded me of vacation so if you like coconut you'll love it. Location: The location is metro accessible and there are garages near by but ride share and public transit would be best. The actual put-put experience was fun as well. It's great for groups but keep in mind that your pace is dependent on who's in front of you. My group was having too much fun so we contributed to a slight delay. I like the digital score card. It made moving through the holes easy. You can also order drinks at each hole.

Update December 2022: I returned for a corporate event and hear me when I say...the FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! The beef sliders were EXCELLENT as were the chips, guacamole and salsa dips. Again, I couldn't try the meals with cheese in it but I enjoyed my selection enough to give them an updated review. This place is great for a corporate gathering because it fosters team building and fun!!!!!! Original review: Of course my review was left in draft and never posted! Note that I visited this place a few days after their grand opening. Here's my review: I decided to visit after seeing a few postings about it and to experience the indoor fun and decor. I must say that upon arrival the staff was very friendly and did a great job at explaining the course options and how payments would apply. Hmmm I would add here that the cost per person is a little expensive for the length of time one can spend on a course but it is fun and something you can try on a date or with friends. No pictures of food or drinks because I actually didn't enjoy their food selection which was super limited and not lactose intolerant friendly. The drinks were simply okay and nothing to rave about. I truly have to say that this place was just that, cute! And of course the ambiance was perfect for social media!!!! Would I visit again? Absolutely! But it's not something that I would immediately run to.

Mini golf good, food not good. Pizza so salty I had to give up after a couple slices. The only thing more painful to me than throwing away pizza was my tongue after getting hit with a year supply of sodium.

Came here for free and still felt ripped off. The bar space and ambiance are very cool, and I really enjoyed the decor! However, the mini golf was a slap in the face, even for my low standards of "hip" indoor courses. This is a one dimensional course you can breeze through in 5 minutes, with astronomically boring paths covered up by randomly placed abstract art. For such a cool looking place, so much more could have been done. Don't come for the golf.

Great bar but subpar indoor mini golf. Mini golf is $22 per person and only had 9 holes, it goes by really quickly (and I'm not a very fast player). We played the art room which was cute but didn't think the holes were particularly creative, each hole was par 2 if thats any indication of how small the courses were. Each mini golf place has a different speciality drink menu, however nobody came by to take our drink orders. They do have a tablet to keep score which was pretty cool. The lounge/bar area is a cool looking spot and has tons of seating. We ordered the Brumble and Dinner at the Louvre drinks which were really tasty! We also ordered the fries to go with it and weren't really impressed, they were not crispy and were pretty mediocre. Overall I would not go back for mini golf but would go back to hang out at the bar area!

Had a great time here after a Caps game. Multiple bar areas that have a swanky vibe from all the fun art and decor. Private rooms were available for groups to hang out in. The courses are 9 holes so it's short and goes by quick. You get three options to choose from. We did the art one because it was the most fun to look at while waiting. Parties are only 4 people so big groups get split up. A few for non alcoholic mocktails. The watermelon aqua Fresca was nice. Definitely get a reservation before coming unless you get there early in the day.

Pricing, 2/5: Lowkey feel like it's overly priced. You're just paying for the aesthetic. You only play 9 holes inside of the typical 18 holes of mini golf. You pay DC prices, so if you want to just go there for pictures, I guess it's not so bad. Service, 3/5: It was pretty quick to get in, but the only reason why I dropped 2 points is because after we were do, we were trying to get some food, but there was no one there to help to take our order. We waited like 15 mins and just ended up leaving after finishing our game. Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 5/5: Like I said you're paying for the aesthetic. The way they created it is amazing. The artwork and the golf holes are unique and fun! Also the scoring is all electronic which is cool! No more math for you lol. Overall Experience, 3/5: Overall, I'm not surprised that it's over hyped... It's DC for you. It's fun for a one time experience, but honestly I don't think it's that worth it to go there.

I had a date night here on Saturday and it could've been a better experience. I booked a Friday tee time by accident and tried calling to change. On all my attempts to get ahold of someone here, I was always unable to. Then I tried the online route. Again, no response. I was able to talk to the check-in agent who allowed me to use the reservation fee from Friday (you pay up front) to use for Saturday. Some of the staff here were very rude. Overall, the courses suck and the service was pretty horrible. I decided to give it 2 stars as it's a fun date spot. The vast majority of people here were on dates. The customer service by phone, online, and in person is a 1 star for sure.

Came for a round of miniature golf. It was actually fun. There are three different 9-hole courses to choose from. Puttery is very spacious, I love the decor, the staff here are friendly and helpful. The music was not that great, but overall, I had a positive experience.

Arrived at 5:15 after a long frustrating day, just trying to find some fun and food for my kids. They wouldn't allow my 11 and 8 year olds to enter. What kind of put put place doesn't allow kids? It shouldn't be deemed a "kid friendly" restaurant as they do not like children here at all.
