The U.K.’s well-known entertainment concept will launch its second Washington, D.C. location outside of Nationals Park
London – August 12, 2021 – Swingers, the London-based Institute of Competitive Socialising, announced today that its third U.S. crazy golf venue (fifth in total) will open in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood next summer 2022. This announcement comes on the heels of Swingers U.S. debut in Washington D.C.’s Dupont Circle this June and ahead of the highly-anticipated opening of Swingers New York in early 2022. Swingers offers crazy golf, delicious cocktails, street food and live DJs to create the ultimate social experience for guests.
Located in the heart of D.C.’s bustling Ballpark District, Swingers Navy Yard will sit at the base of The Kelvin, a thoughtfully-designed, contemporary apartment building by Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners (“Jair Lynch”). The crazy golf venue will boast over 24,000 square feet spanning across two floors and feature two nine-hole crazy-golf courses, an impressive 750 square foot terrace, multiple cocktail bars, and delicious street food and drinks offerings. Each of the golf courses will offer a different test of skill with big wheels, windmills, turbines, and carousels to keep putters on their toes.
“We’re excited to break ground on our third U.S. location in D.C.’s Ballpark District after seeing overwhelming support from the community at our Dupont Circle venue,” said Co-CEO and Co-Founder Matt Grech-Smith. “Swingers Navy Yard is the perfect fit for a neighborhood known for its love of sports and entertainment and we look forward to opening our doors to the public next summer.”
Set in a historic waterfront neighborhood right outside Nationals Park, Swingers Navy Yard will be in the ideal location for people looking for activities before and after Washington Nationals games, a place to cheer on your favorite team, or for a fun night out with friends and family. The location itself will have aspects that pay tribute to the Navy Yard, which baseball fans will be excited about.
“Swingers will be a quintessential addition to the curation of retailers at The Kelvin that have come to define Half Street and its spirit over the last few years,” said Anthony Startt, Director of Investments for Jair Lynch. “With Nationals Park at full capacity and the city teeming with excitement, we hope to see locals and visitors alike take their swing at crazy golf and more on Half Street.”
Earlier this year, Swingers announced a recent $20M raised in follow-on funding from Cain International. The financing is in direct support of a robust opening pipeline in the U.S., including the Navy Yard location.
