Remember the last time you were drunk on a putt-putt course? You know, when you dry humped the oversized clown head and got your shirttail stuck in the windmill? Honestly, if they didn’t want their patrons to go skinny dipping in the water hazard, they should have made that clear when they handed out the score cards and tiny pencils.Well, you're in luck. No longer will the resulting restraining order prevent you from combining the only two true passions in your life: binge drinking and obstructed short-distance putting. Now that the much-anticipated H Street Country Club is open for business, putt-putt has finally infiltrated the D.C. nightlife scene.
It’s a bit of a surprise that the concept hasn’t already been done in the District. At first look, HSCC is simply a laid-back bar with a subtle golf theme, accented by faux mahogany lockers along the walls on the first floor. Patrons sip moderately overpriced cocktails at an extended bar while gamers take advantage of adjacent pairs of pool tables, shuffleboards and ski-ball machines. Considered on its own, the first floor is a solid bar – but that’s only the beginning of HSCC’s appeal.
When you trek upstairs, you’ll find a veritable tale of two venues: on one end, a relaxed, casual dining room; and on the other, a bright and bustling nine-hole miniature golf course. That's right - mini golf in a bar. Sure, a reasonable person might question the wisdom of mingling metal-headed putters, flying golf balls and tequila in a confined space; but no one likes a naysayer. It’s all in good fun – well, at least until the first drunk kid tosses his putter into the dining room after missing a two-foot putt.
