About this venue

The mission of metrobar is to connect people with DC culture through entertaining, collaborative, arts-driven, and authentic experiences. Our venue features intimate and life-sized art installations, from the railcar itself to our murals, stage, screens, and other programmable segments. Our focus is local, both on the products we sell and the artists we highlight, from our block, through the surrounding neighborhood, and into the greater DMV area.

Families are welcome at metrobar! Children must be within arms length under direct supervision of their guardian at all times. Except for certain events, the venue is 21 & over after 8pm. Patrons with children who are already in the bar will be given some flexibility to leave, but no one will be allowed in after 8pm unless they are 21 & over. We do not allow toys that cause any temporary or permanent marks on our guests or property, such as: chalk, yard games, balls, etc.
Outside food is accepted at metrobar. However, we are unable to refrigerate any perishable items. We require a heads up though if you plan to bring cake or cupcakes as a part of your group reservation or event. Please inform your event contact about this request.
