The Muni

This was my first time at the Muni, and I see myself coming back. I went for a private event for National Women's Golf Day. I enjoyed the putt simulator a lot as my short game is what I need to work on. DJ played good music. The pizza came out quick and was alright. Happy hour deals are reasonable. Improvement area would be more of a menu or at least salad options or veggies platter. There was plenty of space to commune. However, many stayed around the simulator section. Stop in to check it out.

The Muni is a nice hidden kind of spot on 14th street Washington DC. The golf themed interior is very nice and spacious. The bartender was very nice and a pleasure to speak with. She had a lot of patience with one of my friends who had too much to drink prior. Responsibly she cut him off and carried on with providing great customer service despite the shenanigans. I had a grape cocktail that was damn good and stayed there for over an hour. The place was not busy but the ambiance and concept was nice enough to keep me and a couple of friends there for quite some time. Cheers!!!!

Fun spot with cool golf tech and classic bar food + drinks. Great place to play virtual golf games and hangout.

This is a decent venue with some potential. The signature drinks were good and the environment is nice - it's a quieter bar which makes sense for a new place. Management however is young, inexperienced, and completely unprofessional. We tried their putting darts game which costs $15 for a half hour. Not crazy expensive, but the game broke only 10-20 minutes into it. My group of four spent about 30 more minutes trying to debug and fix it ourselves without bothering anyone. Eventually we realized the software was just broken. When we finally spoke to management (Jessica), she was immediately confrontational. I suggested we should get a full refund since we couldn't use what we paid for, but she was dead set on keeping at least $15. I directly asked her, "Okay, I'll ask you, was the service we paid for not working?" and she admitted, "Yes it was defective" - then decided we should be kicked out of the bar instead of handling this reasonably. The bouncer seemed confused about kicking us out once he realized we weren't just drunk, and told us our drinks would be refunded. This place clearly has major communication issues at the management level. We spent 50 minutes total there with most of that time trying to fix their broken system, only to be thrown out after they admitted their equipment didn't work. I'd avoid this place for a few months, maybe years, to see if they make it or figure things out better. A bar needs mature management that can handle basic customer service, and The Muni definitely doesn't have that yet.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We had sooo much fun here!! Great drinks, food, and games for a reasonable price. Loved it and will be back.

Atmosphere of this place is really cool, love the vibe and the commitment to the theme. It is actually HUGE inside and there are quite a few fun little games where you putt on a green but there is a digital overlay where you play "beer pong" or "darts". Fun little spot for a low-key date with activities or a hang with the homies

As someone with zero athletic ability The Muni is the perfect place to attempt sport without the risk of injury. If you're like me and you can appreciate thoughtful vintage design, I think the venue is spacious and beautifully expressed from the chairs to the wood paneling, to the cozy couches found in the back corner. I am especially impressed with the staff and the service since service in DC seems to pride itself on being abysmal. From the moment you walk through the doors, I found the hosts to be welcoming and friendly. I was genuinely impressed with the service provided, especially when I left my bag unattended and they promptly placed it behind the counter. I also enjoyed the kind and friendly bartenders specifically Troy, who always encouraged shots and never let my drink get too low. I had a minor issue with the sound of the game and the manager promptly solved my issue. I've been in the venue both when it was packed with unhinged Republicans from Florida celebrating a Commanders win, and when it was empty and my Z list celebrity companion was not so silently harassing single women at the bar, (sorry to those women), and every time I had a great time. I recommend The Muni to anyone looking for a venue that can accommodates a company party or an intimate date night. If you're like me and the thought alone of Top Golf brings on the anxiety of a possible concussion then The Muni is certainly a stylish and safe alternative.

Drinks were super diluted and bar tenders weren’t as attentive when attempting to ask them a question. Do not recommend if you are looking for good drinks. Didn’t even finish our drinks ordered a ketel one mule, a don daly and an upside pineapple shooter. I left half of the don daly, keep giving it a chance to see if it improved the more I drank but no. Tasted more like water the more I drank. My friend left her mule basically full and I left the upside pineapple shooter untouched. Please have your bartenders re-trained or shown how to make proper drinks. As from the terrible drinks the atmosphere was very stuffy and dead. If you are a gulf enthusiast you may like it but place lacks essence in my opinion.

Company had a post work happy hour here and it was a lot of fun. Great bar service, tons of space, arcade games, with a quirky golf theme throughout the space.
