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 he spoke was unacceptable. He aggressively said words to the effect of “we’ll kick you out if your wife drinks,” which felt threatening and completely unnecessary.
Rules can and should be enforced, but there is a respectful way to communicate them. The tone and manner used here were harsh, intimidating, and disrespectful.
Additionally, the shuttle driver (black guy with beard) was also rude when I asked whether showing an ID photo on the phone would work, immediately dismissing it by saying it could be photoshopped instead of explaining politely.
So I would recommend the management to dismiss such staff who are disrespectful towards customers!
Attached is the photo of the beard guy for management’s review!
And at last, the shuttle driver denied the ride to us, we were waiting for him near the Shipgarten shuttle (shuttle which takes to their parking lot), so we had to walk about a mile in super chill weather back to our car – completely frustrated!
Also I don’t understand the concept of adding 20% gratuity even if you are just one guest.

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 buildings as well.
I’d recommend coming here for a chill HH with games too (they’re a little worn down but still playable) and a generally good time!

I come here often. My favorite nights to show up are on Thursdays. Dora and Thomas are amazing bartenders and they treat you right and they make sure you get your drinks on time. The environment is cozy and you instantly feel like you belong. Come over enjoy your night let’s see what you think. There’s ample seating as well as plenty of things to do, including Kong, corn-hole karaoke, and plenty of others.

Great place for families or for happy hour.
I’m giving 3 stars for a few reasons.
We came for the Mardi Gras festival, but didn’t see anything related to this. Luckily it was free. They do check IDs at the entrance. The parking was confusing and we had to follow the shuttle to the parking lot. Entrance and parking were free.
There were so many signs up–hot drinks menu, special surprise bucket for ~$30, etc. but none of these items were available in either tent.
There were some stools available at the smaller tent, but some of the staff were sitting at one of the windows. It looked a little run-down in some parts of the smaller tent.
The customer service at the small bar area with food order/pick up was great. The bartender was very helpful in providing suggestions for drinks. The food orders were placed at the self-service screens and only in one tent. The pickup windows were available on either side. Some of the food was too pricey for what it was–below average bar food.
We ended up ordering the following items:
-Peche mel scaldis – this was a, refreshing drink and not very bubbly a little flat, but too much lip
-Cuvee des Trolls – light, slightly bubbly
-Boneless wings – basic wings
-Create your own pizza – not much flavor, except from the cheese
-Jalapeno Cheddar wurst platter with potato salad and potato pancakes – this was terrible TBH–tastes like cheap hot dogs from the grocery stores!
Would I return? most likely not

I hosted my office’s holiday party here. It was a great venue for our group of 17 and everyone had a great time! I looked at several other spots, but we chose Shipgarten because it was the only one that did not charge an hourly rental rate. All we had to pay for was our food. Their group catering menu has many options and the prices were very reasonable. The events staff was very easy to work with, and the space was perfect for what we needed. Even in the middle of winter, their Bier Hall stays nice and warm. I highly recommend Shipgarten if you are looking to book a private event, either large or small!

This place could definitely be great! For it looks and feels like a dingy bar that is just trying to make a buck. There is a playground, moonbounce and other kids games like giant chess, giant connect 4, and hacky sack toss. But all those games are very worn down or not properly taken care of. The playground area sits on a slanted hill and it is uncomfortable.
The idea is great! But this place really needs more maintenance. Bathrooms are a bit and miss, since they are trailer park bathrooms and can be very dirty and smelly. The food is very expensive and cardboard like taste. The drinks are also very expensive and can also be a hit or miss depending on how busy it gets. We came here for a glow party and it was nothing as advertised. They have a tent with a DJ, bubbles and balloons. Cheap glow sticks everywhere so first come first serve. Drunk parents with children is not a good mix. Parking sucks and you have to park about two blocks away and their designated parking lot and then ride a bus up the hill. Makes it hard for strollers. They check ID before going in and absolutely no drinks of any sort allowed inside.
We won’t be coming back here again.

This place is great for adults and children. I think they have this every Sunday but sometimes a little different. This time they had a small petting zoo. Definite good place to hang out and let the kids play while ya’ll watch sports.
