When renting a bar in Washington, DC, the pricing usually includes the use of the space for the duration of the event and may also include catering options, bar service, sound systems, or AV equipment. Venues like Johnny Pistolas in Adams Morgan and The Pub and The People in the Northwest offer event packages that include food and drinks.
You can find wine bars like Barkada Wine Bar for mid-sized gatherings with 50-90 people or larger restaurants with bar spaces like Right Proper Brewing Company that can accommodate up to 225 standing guests. There are also rooftop venues, traditional pubs, and sports bars with games, live music, and other entertainment options.
Negotiate package deals—many bars will offer discounted rates if you bundle services like food, drinks, and venue hire. You can also bring your own decorations or opt for a venue that allows BYO drinks to avoid markups on alcohol. Hosting a cash bar instead of an open one can also save significantly, as your guests will purchase their drinks. Also, look for bars that offer happy hour specials or group discounts, which can lower your overall costs. Lastly, choose a venue outside popular areas like Capitol Hill and Dupont Circle. These venues often offer better deals while still delivering on quality.
