Shipgarten

Shipgarden is located on Coleshire Drive, right opposite the McLean Metro Station near Capital One. It’s slightly uphill but easy to reach. The place itself is quite nice — warm indoor halls, and a larger common area where people can sit, have drinks, and relax. During the Christmas season, the ambience feels festive and lively. We tried the fries, loaded fries with cheese, garlic fries, and a cider beer — everything tasted good, and we were happy with the food and drinks. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was staff behavior at the entrance. The person checking IDs — a man wearing a cap and having a beard — was extremely rude and aggressive. I politely informed him that my wife did not have an ID and that she does not drink alcohol. While I completely understand alcohol policies, the way

Shipgarten is a great hangout spot and the perfect place for a dog party! We celebrated our pup’s birthday with his friends and Shipgarten did a great job of coordinating the event and reserving tables. It can be a bit difficult to receive service in the outdoor areas, as we didn’t have any interaction with the staff. Overall, great place to hangout!

I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!

My child was pretty bored at this place. We went to an event advertising a petting zoo from 12-3pm. We arrived at 1pm with no petting zoo in sight, muddy playground. The food was overpriced and terrible. non-alcoholic drinks were not mentioned on the menu for the children. The parking lot was across the way and you have to wait for a shuttle as there is only about 6 seats on the bus. We stayed about 30 mins and left because of the lack of activities. Definitely will not be returning.

A great place that hosts fun events and decent happy house HH deals! With so many outdoor activities, this area is even child and dog friendly as well 👶🐶 I walked into the main tent (there were a couple around serving various food and drinks) and didn’t have to wait around during happy hour for a seat. We ordered drinks at the bar and food at the vendor stalls in the building next to the bouncy houses. The beer prices increase by a dollar during every hour of HH but the selection is great, and there’s a lot of other good cocktails and other Asian drinks to choose from too. We also got the tuna nachos, funnel cake fries, and some small pizzas. The parking lot is a little far away and has a shuttle leading to and from the lot, but there is also a lot of street parking near the surrounding
