This place was super cool. The service was somewhat slow. They were brand new, so I wasn't expecting miracles or perfection. The outside spot is very nice. The inside, definitely slated for "influencer"-type people. My biggest complaint is that the music was BLASTING. You could not hear yourself think, let alone have a conversation with the person next to you. The food we ordered for brunch was pretty decent, fresh ingredients. Will give them a few months and I'm sure they'll have it down. read more

Went for Hallowqueen drag brunch. Do not recommend. Price: it's is $30 to get in the door, plus $30 for brunch, plus $15 for bottomless mimosas. Despite that the advertisement says is $30 for brunch and a $15 up charge for bottomless mimosas. Food: the brunch buffet was horrible. Buffets are not good normally to start with in my opinion. They had: eggs, bacon, corned beef hash, potatoes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and some packaged pastries. They eventually brought waffles and flatbread. I highly recommend eating before you come. There are not really any options for vegetarian/pescatarians. The food was really bad. Eggs undercooked and watery, bacon burnt, sausage rubbery... that kind of bad. Show: I have been to a fair amount of drag shows. This is the worst by far. The performers (there were 4 including the MC) basically just walked around and lip synced while collecting money. There was no real show or dancing or any of the things drag shows are known for. They literally just strutted from table to table lip singing and collecting money. The most entertaining part of the show was the birthday twerk off (audience members divided into groups twerking against each other.) the most veteran of the performers did the least and needs to check the ego (taking the mic, belittling others), they did nothing. All slow music and slow walking around to collect money. Absurd. Overall: do not go unless you are going to hang with your friends and have drinks. Know the show is bad. Know the food is worse. Eat first. read more

I made a reservation for one of the Cabanas on a Sunday night which costs $300. I will say it didn't say online that the cabana came with anything but $300 is a little pricey just to sit under a cabana but this was the last night of a girls trip so we were trying to go out in style. The aesthetic of the venue is nice but the problem was the food and service. When we walked in there were a couple of kids at the computer which was weird but after about 5 mins someone came over to check us in and take us over to our cabana. The waitress finally comes over and sits down and says "just to let you know we're out of pretty much everything." One of the girls asked if the cabana came with anything and the server proceeded to tell us/me (b/c I was the one who paid for the cabana) that we basically wasted our money because it doesn't come with anything and is for the people who want to be away from the regular people. So we ask for some menus and order a couple of drinks and tacos and a flatbread because that's all they had. She also told us that everything was basically frozen and not fresh. It almost seemed like she was trying to get us to just leave and give up. Anyway my friends tried to play the checkers game but these kids kept coming up to interrupt them. At first I thought it was kids from someone eating there but it wasn't. It was the employees kids. Which of you have to bring your kids to work at least keep them from interrupting the guests. Another one of my friends tried to order dessert but after not getting it for 20 mins she went over to the waitress who was playing uno to tell her to cancel it because we were getting ready to leave. She brought it to her to go but they didn't have anymore to go boxes so she put two paper plates on top of each other...really?! This place has potential but it needs better management or leadership because the employees were just running around without any sense of urgency or professionalism. The cabana was nice but it's way over priced for what you get. And the food was a super let down. Not a great way to end our trip but we tried to make the most of it. I think Thai place is fairly new so hopefully they get better. read more

Went Saturday night and it was a vibe. We didn't get any food so i can vouch for it. But we got drinks. Long Island iced teas. VERY strong. And please believe me cause I'm a drinker fr lol... we went around 9pm and it was a cover cherge of $10 on a Friday. Again, i didn't try any food. But the wings LOOKED tasty. And a DJ was there. It was def lit by 10pm. GOOOOO.. read more

Decided to check this place out with a group of friends for a birthday over the weekend and it did not disappoint. You don't need a reservation to come, but they do have a lot of cabanas that you can rent out in advance for big groups. We ended up sitting at the bar to start with and I ordered their Bourbon Berry Bramble cocktail. It tasted pretty strong with a hint of sweetness from the blackberries. I also ordered the Cucumber Twist which was very refreshing. Some of my friends ordered nachos at the bar and they seemed to really enjoy those. Although I didn't take many, this place has a lot of great spots for taking pictures and selfies with your friends. They clearly put a lot of work into their tropical style decorations here. They also offer a lot to do with your friends as they have beer pong, ping pong, board games and had a DJ when we came. They also have a rooftop area, which we weren't able to hang out at since it was raining. The vibes here are great and I recommend checking this place out, next time I come over I'll also be checking out the axe throwing which is offered directly beneath them. read more

The downstairs part with axe throwing only part that saved this from no star. Upstairs there was only a few games to play, barely a dance floor as it was filled with tables. Too crowded overall. Service was very poor. We had two tables in our two tents (we were a large group) food was dropped at one or other instead of split into two serving plates. Huge bowel of sauce dropped at one table after associated food gone. Took forever to get us drinks. They set up s'more station and never told us so who knows how long it was there. Finally champagne had been preordered, did they serve with cake-no. It was brought out minutes before our time was up, yes returned. Finally price for type of food, lack of availability of games was not worth it. read more

Love the atmosphere and customer service. Haven't tried their food, but got plans to go back for their ladies night, so I'll get a chance to experience it then. Parking is easy (except on a Friday night when they have GoGo). I like the games, decor, and location. read more

I had the worse bartender service from this place. The drink I did receive was good but I had to keep asking to order my food and the bar was empty downstairs. I feel like the service during the day is much better than at night. To have to ask several times over and over can I order a drink can I order food and to be dismissed over and over again. Finally the gentleman bartender took my order. Im just saying the food was good we had fun throwing Axes but the service needs to get better. Last thing I want is to buy a old fashioned or a margarita and have it come it in a plastic cup. I can't even take pictures of it and post how good it looks. Nice place but service needs to be better read more

Just NO lol. I came here to watch the game. The sound sucked, the atmosphere was dry, the food was nasty. I ordered the sampler with buffalo wings. It suppose to have came with onion rings (it didn't) apparently they ran out. The obvious thing to do, would be to tell the customer unfortunately we are out of ..... would you prefer......They just gave me extra idk wtf it was, but it was nasty. My buffalo wings came with sauce on the side. I didn't ask for sauce less wings. I would have been better off getting McDonald's and watching the game from my phone. This is my opinion....lol read more

Birthday celebration with a friend. The check-in process was very easy. The staff was attentive. The food/drinks were a bit pricey but overall ok.

This was the second year having Throw Social cater our Summer Gathering, and the second year Throw Social has creating an outstanding experience for our staff. From organizing the menu and catering with Marchela, to providing on-site support from Z. Everyone involved with putting together and hosting our event played a role in another memorable experience. Not to mention the food was delicious and the atmosphere is perfect for people of all ages to have a great time. Staff are already asking about the event next year, and we hope to make it 3 years in a row. Thank you to everyone that made this event a success! read more

Love love love this place! It's got something for everybody. Great music, food and games! Downstairs they have ax throwing & broad games.

Cute atmosphere. Drinks and food were good. Music was nice and the crowd was chill. I didn't give 5 stars because the bathroom was filthy and there was no hand soap or paper towel. I alerted staff but it didn't look like they moved to rectify the issue. Probably try another night. I went on a Saturday but my sister in-law and brother had also been another night and said they didn't it wasn't as crowded and have to wait on the games. Definitely recommend as a free outing with your friends. read more

First time at Throw Social and the vibe was lit , My waitress Zykeah was a vibe , she made sure the drinks stayed flowing and made sure we was good all night ! definitely will be back and asking for Zykeah everytime ! read more

The service was amazing- Marchela and the rest of the team took great care of us. I had a company event with 60 guests and it was very easy to work with this team to determine renting the venue, food/drink menu, etc. The venue is adorable- would highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue for a company party, date night, etc. read more

Pre-COVID this was probably a very fun bar to go to and mingle, but with the 'no alcohol after 10' DC restrictions on bars and restaurants this place is like a graveyard after 10pm - which is to be expected. My friends and I came here to celebrate my birthday early and we had a football bowling reservation at 10. When we arrived a lot of people were leaving, and the only people inside the venue aside from employees were those there to do football bowling (there were about 5 or 6 groups). It was definitely smaller than I thought, but my friends and I had a great time. Of course I lost terribly, but the money spent was well worth it. I took off a star because my friend went to ask for water and they said they're not suppose to provide water because it's part of servicing the bar, which is not allowed after 10PM. On the other hand, the customer service was amazing. I received a few notice emails before our reservation, including the DC restrictions on food and alcohol after 10PM and how to check-in for our reservation. And the staff was very friendly and straight to the point so that we had as much time as possible to utilize our timed reservation. I definitely think I would return, but maybe after the whole coronavirus and socially distancing thing comes to an end. read more

This used to be my go to spot! Now it's very hit or miss. The ambiance is great but it depends on the DJ. They made Fridays Go-Go night so it would be nice if they played other types of music on the other nights. Some people come from other areas and aren't really fans of Go Go music... other than that it's a fun spot. They also shut down alot for some reason.. read more

We decided to check the spot out after I saw someone post about it on Instagram. Luckily, I was able to get a same-day reservation and we arrived at 9 PM. (After 9pm = no kiddos). The check in process was seamless with the scanning of a QR code and completing a consent. We were told the rules of the game quickly, but don't worry, they are also posted on the wall for you. Since we did not have enough members in our party for a complete lane we did play the game with another party of three which was perfectly fine. If you're competitive, you will work up a sweat! The time allotted for one game goes by super quickly. I believe the next time I come I will try to double book lanes so that we can at least have two games worth of time. After the game, we hit the bar and listen les to the live band that was there. We will definitely be back soon! read more

I visited Throw on a Friday night and give it 3.5 ish stars so I'm rounding up in this case. Overall it had a lot to offer, so I'd say it probably could be a lot of fun. But things were chaotic and not quite all together when I visited. The staff couldn't even point me to the right floor and had me complete a voucher for activities on the wrong floor smh. And my goodness the bar was incredibly slow. It was almost surprising how slow they were. At least a 20 minute wait. Now I didn't play any games, so I can't say it's hopeless, but I wasn't fully impressed my first visit. I'm definitely going to give them another try, I'm sure they were just working out some kinks. read more

We had a super fun night at Throw Social (Ivy City)! Great: Service, DJ, Mambo Sauce wings, cocktails (yes! My drinks snuck up on me!), vibe, games and atmosphere! My daughter's 19th birthday celebration was a successful party night thanks to the staff at this tropical themed place. It was a Wednesday evening so parking and crowds weren't an issue at all (cautious that this could be much different on a weekend). It gave us a great chance to take advantage of all the activities without many people around. We rented a cabana which was super cozy and intimate for our 5-person group. Got the wings, nachos (beef or steak maybe? Can't remember) and they were pretty good happy hour selections. Wasn't as fond of the mac n cheese bites...they just tasted really processed, kinda "cafeteria". Those weren't as popular in our group but with the dipping sauce they weren't awful. Overall...it was a vibe! The staff were really kind and fun. The DJ was really interactive and catered well to her crowd (yup, DJ was a woman and she was awesome...love to see it)! Check it out! We will again! My whole group gave glowing reviews which made me happy I chose such a good place! read more

We visited on Sunday from 3 pm - 6 pm (16 guests) - spending a lot of money and the food was horrible. The wings, dip and tacos were COLD, the sampler & onions were under cooked, soft and soggy. We had to send food back several times. The waiter gave an unacceptable excuse - most of the time people are drunk/have been drinking and don't usually complain. That's not US. We want quality food and service for the cost of food. The kitchen staff needs to take better pride in the food being prepared and served. If this establishment is visited by the Health Dept or is Mystery Shop - they will definitely FAIL. The ONLY positive outcome is we still celebrated my cousins Birthday and the DJ was awesome. read more

I had a ball!!! This place is more than I expected. The first floor decor is ski lodge themed. All of the small details fit the aesthetic. The bartenders are engaging and attentive. The drinks are on point. Before we started axe throwing, we received a demo and guidance on what to do from a coach. At first I was a little intimidated but I warmed up to it very quickly. Later we moved to the second floor and man it was party central. This floor is Miami Beach theme. Great bar, flamingos, lots of games, cabanas, and don't forget the DJ and light up dance floor! There is even a rooftop deck with it's own bar. The apps I tried were good. My favorite was the pull bbq chicken sliders. The pizza was good and the churros with chocolate syrup were yummy. I'm definitely excited to check this place out again. The wait staff is phenomenal and the management team checked in on us to see if we needed anything. It was a bit smoky and the manager opened the outside wall to allow the fresh air in. A fun time was had by all. read more

MUST VISIT ASAP!!!! After 10 years in, I can confidently say this is a TOP SPOT for me! I went with a group (5 of us). We started out downstairs at Kick Axe with no plans to to do the Football Bowling but we had so much fun and wanted to continue the night upstairs at Throw Social. So glad we did! This place was a blast! First off, the decor and atmosphere is outstanding! It's a tropical Miami paradise! The neon signs and colors are superb. Arrive before your scheduled reservation so you have time to grab a drink, walk around and take it all in. You will definitely want to! The service was great. All the employees are so friendly and accommodating. They weren't too busy while we were there so they even let us stay a few extra minutes which we loved because we were having such a good time! The drinks are delicious! We didn't try the food last night but they have a plethora of choices if your group is hungry and it looked amazing. We played football bowling. It was so much fun and much harder than it looks, I promise. We would go to the bar to order and pay but then they would bring the drinks to us. We will be frequenting this spot often for sure! Make sure to visit Kick Axe while you're there! Both places are spectacular! Read my review for them as well! TIPS: Arrive early! Definitely arrive at least a half hour early so you can get your drinks and get situated before your allotted time for your game. If you're dressed warm, make sure you can remove layers. You will work up a sweat! read more

We came here a few months ago with a reservation for football bowling. The decor, games, and vibe is on point. We came on a Saturday evening and arrived 10 minutes late to the reservation, which they deducted from our time. Make sure to arrive early to get settled to have the full time allotted, since they are pretty busy and are timely with their reservation slots for the games. We booked a cabana and football bowling at the same time, which is a good idea if you have more than 8 people (max # of people for football). Some can play the game and some can sit around to eat and drink. Regarding the space for football bowling- I felt like it was quite crowded to have 4 lanes of games going on in that space with footballs flying everywhere. The footballs were bouncing off the board to 2 lanes over and we had to interrupt/walk through other peoples games to retrieve them. Overall, this is definitely a place for a fun date or group activity! read more

THRōW social did not disappoint last night! Our friend celebrated her birthday there and rented a cabana, which was perfect for the large group. She rented a lane for the football/bowling pin toss, which my little brother enjoyed (minors are allowed before 9 PM)! Shoutout to our waitress who worked hard to get the large group our drinks and food, I don't know how you did it! We enjoyed the wings, mocktails for my bro, cotton & Reed stormys, and the IPA. I also really enjoyed playing connect four with my brother once he was done with the football toss. read more

Gave 2 stars, based on the customer service, food and drinks. The check in process was good, but when it was time to actually play , they rushed our time, and when we wanted to order food there was no server who came to talk to us so we had to go to the bar and order food and drinks. THE food was not good [I ordered a pizza] personal sized pizza that was Way over priced and I got two drinks... that was not worth 13.00 each. And they were NOT good at all!! THE BAR NEEDS HELP! It was very hot, I don't like how they walk around with your food uncovered COVID is still around, also my friend asked for a fork and the server SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY AND walked away. * Throw Social is nice to take pictures but NOT worth the MONEY ! On food , drinks , and playing the games ! Drink and eat before you come. Thank you for your time. read more

Went here for a first date and it was so much fun. The space is laid out really nicely and the aesthetic is beautiful. Drinks were strong. Parking is easy. I'd recommend this for anyone whether it's for date night, family night, or any sort of team building. They also had live music! read more

Stopped into the sister bar downstairs and after chatting with a manager (Micheal?), checked out the upstairs area. From the moment we stepped out of the elevator, we were in awe. The decor does not half ass and sets the mood for fun. Everything about this bar screams tropical vibes. We set up shop at a football lane for a bit and couldn't believe how enjoyable it was. While the women whipped their boys' butts, we enjoyed buckets of beer and some tasty snacks. I never would've pegged myself to be into these kind of games, but I had a blast! In other times, this would be a great (double) date night spot. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is a very cool and fun place! I've wanted to try axe throwing for a while and was glad to finally check this place out with some friends. Throwing is honestly not as hard as I imagined it would be and it's much more fun! The staff here is very nice and willing to help. Football bowling on the other hand was much more difficult to me. The distance between pins is pretty far. My advice with this place is to not get drunk while throwing and don't throw axes with drunk friends. That could end in a disaxeter :) read more

This was my first time coming here. Had a really great time. I booked a cabana for 2hrs & a an hour of their 'football bowling' for my bf's birthday. He really enjoyed it all. The cabana was great and we had a blast with the game. Our server Cameron was amazing from start to finish. She treated us with a huge smile and positive attitude and helped us with everything we needed. Very personable. The food was decent so that's the only reason for the 4/5 stars but other than that. Everything was great will definitely be coming back for ace throwing and curling as well. It's the perfect party space for any event or just a fun date night. read more
