I loved the communication, the staff, and size of the space. Honestly, everything was perfect and I would not change a single thing.

Parking is a bit difficult for guests but that's the only thing!

Summer Party · 50 guests · May 2025

LOVED the space for our engagement party!! great lighting, outdoor balcony, ability to have balcony doors open for breeze, lots of space and cocktail tables for standing, having your own bar and bartender - all was lovely!! Food was also delicious and served promptly ! Drinks were great and served quickly. Drink tickets (which we bought for our guests for $9-10) were good for any kind of drink which was nice. Nick and the bartender were very accommodating and friendly!!

Not a fault of Johnny Pistolas but the nearest parking garage (colonial parking) is no bueno - spots are too small and staff is rude. Had many guests tell me this. My dad parked in DuPont circle and walked 20min and this was much better. Would recommend to anyone driving here.
