Time Out says

If you’re not having a good time at Penn Social, you’re doing something wrong. The 13,000-square-foot bar in Penn Quarter is an emporium of fun, with three bars, patio seating, free board games (including giant Jenga!) and a beer list with more than 30 craft brews, ciders and old favorites. The bar hosts corn hole leagues and beer pong tournaments every Tuesday, while shuffleboard, skeeball and arcade games keep everyday guests entertained. With two stages, multiple TVs and a 22-foot movie screen, there’s no excuse for missing the game. Late nights often break out into dance parties fueled by a local DJ.

What’s on

Washington D.C. Pancakes and Booze Art Show

Pancakes and Booze is back, and if you’ve never wandered through a pop-up gallery with a plate of syrupy carbs in hand, you’re overdue. This isn’t your typical white-walled art affair. Instead, you’ll find a sprawling, slightly chaotic mix of local artists showing work that’s as varied as the crowd—think everything from neon-soaked canvases to surreal sculptures, all set to a soundtrack of live painting and DJs. The pancakes are genuinely unlimited, and yes, people do go back for thirds. It’s the kind of night where you’ll overhear strangers debating which piece to take home while balancing a stack of flapjacks. If you’re tired of the same old gallery circuit or just want to see what happens when art and breakfast collide, this is the spot. Come hungry, leave inspired (and maybe a little sticky).
