Golf simulator bars
A golf simulator bar puts simulator bays next to a bar, and often a kitchen. You book a bay for your group, order to the bay, and play a famous course or a quick contest while you catch up.
What to expect at a sim bar
You don't have to be a golfer. Most simulators have game modes like closest-to-the-pin and long drive that work for a mixed group, and staff can show first-timers how to start a round.
Bays are usually booked by the bay, not per person, so a group shares one and takes turns. Busy nights fill up, so book on the venue's website. Many venues let you order food and drinks from your bay.
House rules differ. Age rules vary from venue to venue and can change with the time of day, and some venues have rules about clubs and shoes. Check the venue's booking page before you go.
A venue is listed here only when a customer review mentions a bar or drinks there or the venue's own website does. That review line, or a note about the website, is shown under each venue. What a venue offers can change, so check its website before you go.

What I can't say enough is how great Ryan was as our sever and bartender.
The venue's website says so too.
From the cocktails to friendly/helpful staff & having a great time, i’d most definitely recommend to anyone to visit & have the chance to enjoy.

Great service from Jess the bartender.

The taco bar was delicious and the bar kept the drinks flowing.

The other thing is that you have to go to the bar to order food which means you’ll probably miss your place in line for the throwing because the other team wants to keep going.

The draft beers were tall and cold (I did get one draft beer glass that had just come out of the dishwasher so it warmed up my beer considerably).

If you want a place that hits the sweet spot of “golf meets social spots bar”, Downtown Detroit’s Five Iron is the spot.
The venue's website says so too.
Jess is a great bartender handling every customer appropriately even when busy.

The brewery boasts a full bar, table service, and three giant walls of pour-your-own beer showcasing 35+ of their own beers and seltzers.

This restaurant is very loud and would not recommend for a family sit down restaurant but I understand it is a sports bar vibe so that’s not a bad thing.
The venue's website says so too.
The waitress and hostess and all the servers and bartenders were professional and very attentive and always coming around to see if everyone was having a fun time!
The kids section is off in another area of the building and now they added a full bar, bunch of tvs, new mats for the driving range, and range trackers.

Alaska
Staff is super friendly, and Hallelujah, they have their liquor liscence now.
- Bar: per the venue's website
District of Columbia
Oh yeah, and not your typical bar experience because we played golf games which were super fun :).
I have been to a handful of similar Golf/Bar experiences, but X-Golf was far and away the best one I have been to.
Hawaii
Chris and Tracy were super helpful and made sure I understood how to operate the Trackman screen in addition to making sure I had a fresh beer.
The self-serve beer wall is a fantastic touch and the TrackMan simulator is top-notch, with a wide variety of courses to choose from.
West Virginia
Great place to hit some live balls, cool owner, beer, and the weather is nice in there all year round
Favorite bar in the area for sure
Wyoming
Bartender was was very interacting and even let me know that I was making bad choices by spending more money, not taking advantage of a better deal they were having having.
