What is a decent amount? Be specific.

Rooftop bar and lounge at The Eaton on K St. in DC. Fun and cute/colorful decor with gorgeous views from the outside deck. I went to a bride/groom pre-wedding celebration here.

Rooftop at The Riggs on F St. in DC. I went to a male friend's 50th bday party here. There was a DJ, several small round tables, a bar, and plenty of space for dancing. Outside deck area with gorgeous views.

At both venues lots of partying/dancing and plenty of space. There were 50+ people at both events. You can't go wrong with either.

I was just getting ready to post about this and found this thread. We were trying to secure Rose's Luxury for a birthday party, but it's booked. Any similar recommendations? Pineapple and Pearl's menu is too limiting.

PP again, I think you can also rent part of Sequioa and House if Sweden in Georgetown.

Look at top of the town. It has a great view but it’s not fancy - a little weird even. But a really fun party space.

Whoops. Disregard. Misread 30-50 as a much smaller number.

Rooftop patio at Rose’s Luxury

What is the budget, OP?

My favorite party venue is one with view, so I would consider the roof of Charlie Palmer, the top of Hay Adams, the “Top of the Town” in Arlington, the terrace at the Pharmacists Association. But am I way over budget?

DP. Any other suggestions? Looking for a lively spot with good food, preferably in DC or close in MD. Probably around 40-50 people. Thanks!

Maggiano's

The moldy basement in your overpriced shithole Virginia house. Get a DJ and some catering. Move some furniture.

Have the kids sleep over a friend's house so they don't see neighbor vomit all over the carpet when he's had a few too many.

L’Ardente

Boteneros in King Farm Rockville. Interesting small plates menu. Nice private room.

For 30-50 people. Anywhere in the DMV would work as guests live in dc, va and md.
