RSS FeedA Quick Look At Funxion (1309 F St NW)
We popped our heads one afternoon after work into Funxion, a restaurant, bar, and DJ/music performance space at 1309 F St NW that has been in the works for a few months. Before being renovated for Funxion, this space was home to the dislocated Kemp Mill Records back in the day when retail music was hanging on by a thread. Walk in and you’ll see a long eating and drinking counter spanning the left wall for the entire depth of the space as well as a shorter curved bar near the front window on the right. Food service comes from the rear of the space and on the left wall towards the rear is a large video screen (check past the break for the video menu).
This concept spot features a focus on healthy food, crafted and consciously chosen drinks and also has a DJ loft which can accommodate an additional one or two performers for evening events. No official word on hours of operation but we’ll be stopping by to check out the fare and report further.

I went for lunch the other day — overcooked hamburger with no sides and a soda came to over $10. Slow service and only 4 tables, plus a few bar seats. Loud music made conversation difficult at best. I know their strategy is to do a lot of private affairs — and be an evening/weekend place — which is what they will have to do to survive.
