Nick was super friendly and cooperative. He helped us look through different menus and was very flexible with making changes to it. He also opened the entire floor for us after we increased capacity which helped a lot. Really good experience working with Nick overall!
Ethan was very helpful on the day of the event too!

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.

Graduation Party · 60 guests
· May 2024
The facility provided an excellent space. The servers were attentive and efficient. Food was excellent. The tech guy worked with us to enable us to have dance music and run slide show with pictures throughout the evening. Since I was planning from out of state I did all communications via email, the manager was responsive. I highly recommend this venue. My guests all had a fantastic experience.
Nothing.
