Capital One Arena is stepping up its dining game with an exciting lineup of eats and drinks from new and existing vendors.
Why it matters: Cap One is catching up with Nats Park — recently dubbed one of the best MLB stadiums for food — by partnering with local restaurants and big-name talents like José Andrés.
The big picture: Now that the Caps and Wizards are staying in D.C. for the long haul, the arena is getting some major renovations .
What's new: If you're feeling fancy, the new Michelob Ultra Courtside Lounge gets you a close-up view in comfy oversized seats, plus access to the Monumental VIP Club with complimentary food, beer and wine (individual, season and partial-season tickets available).
Plus: The Signature Club & Lounge that debuted at the end of the 2023-24 NBA and NHL seasons is back with a lineup of food and beverages from José Andrés Group.
In the arena, new spots and offerings for the 2024-25 season include:
🍜 PhoWheels (Section 105): Modern Vietnamese street food like banh mi sandwiches, chicken egg rolls and tacos from the food truck purveyor.
