If you live in Washington DC ...., (Entertainment Issue)

Where would you go for

  • Go Kart (fast) ?
  • Pool / Billard ?
  • Paintball ?
  • Gun Range ?
  • Bowling ?

and any suggestions for a group of four who can not drink, yet.
I ask for a few friends of mine in D.C.

Are you looking for places to have public sex? :wink:

Opps

Can mod change the title from “love” to “live”, PLEASE. :smack:

Most of the Pool halls I know–Atomic, Bedrock, and Buffalo–serve alcohol and check ID’s but some of them may have provisions for underage patrons to play w/o drinking. You should call them up.

No…it’s more fun this way. :smiley:

As you wish.

  • Go Kart (fast) ?

No clue.

  • Pool / Billard ?

Buffalo Billiards, but I think you have to be 21.

  • Paintball ?

It’s a ways out in Virginia.

  • Gun Range ?

None in DC itself. There’s no guns allowed here.

  • Bowling ?

There’s a place in Arlington, just off of Glebe Road.

Bowling - Strike Bethesda,

Gun Range - here are some gun ranges – i reccomend Clark Bros… maybe 45 mins from the Beltway – If you are WAY underage tho “son” there is no gun range that will allow you in w/o an adult.

There are Chamion Billiards Chain in MontCo that you can play pool and they won’t kick you out if you can’t drink.

The only Go-Kart place i know is in Ocean City

Reviews of MD’s Paintball feilds as you know many of these aren’t in the DC area – Laurel, Bowie are, Frederick is (again) about 1/2 from the Beltway

Jimmy, do you know whether those paintball fields let people to rent equipments ?

They are all 18+, some 19+, is it good enough for the Gun Range people ?

Most let you – in fact almost all do-- just call ahead

18 is almost always OK at a range in my experience

I know of a pool hall in Springfield that doesn’t card until, I think, 6pm. They allow everyone before that time and nobody under 21 after. I’m not sure of the name but it’s in Springfield Plaza on Franconia Road just west of 395.

I believe the one you’re thinking of is now a Gold’s Gym.

:rolleyes: Christ. And a Starbucks, too, right?

Actually, I don’t recall seeing one. The Giant there doubled its size by taking over the drugstore next door, though. It’s now almost as big as the one in Bailey’s.

The NRA headquarters in Fairfax has a public shooting range.
