The space is also designed to host corporate events, private parties, happy hours and other social gatherings. According to the company, the menu will include bar fare, wood-fired pizzas and specialty cocktails.
"As we set out to bring the Five Iron brand to Northern Virginia, Capital One Center was exactly the kind of destination we had in mind for a flagship location — a place to build the brand in this market for the long term," Evan and Nicole Klatt, managing members of TheOwen Holdings, the franchise group bringing Five Iron Golf to the Washington, D.C., area, said in a statement. They cited the concentration of Capital One employees, nearby restaurants and entertainment venues, and Metro access as key factors in selecting the site.
