Johnny Pistolas. That’s where we did the wedding after party, no minimum, you can just do a bar tab, and they will section an area for you.

A lotta fun, but past like 11PM it’s gonna start getting packed with children.

Blaguard is similar, you can reserve the top floor.

I can’t really speak to the +/- 7 year stat that they use as the main basis, but I’ve lived in Adams Morgan for the past 5 years and to me it does feel less safe than pre-pandemic.

A bunch of recent stuff I think has put people on edge (multiple robberies, burglaries, at least one stabbing, one murder). For example, CakeRoom just got smash n grabbed just Thursday night.

I am also always skeptical on crime stats as there is a risk of underreporting (both historically and currently). It definitely seems like criminals are bolder and less fearful of consequences, especiallly for minor crimes. Maybe others share this perception (i.e., nothing will happen so why should I report it).

Call me naive or newer to DC or that the stats don’t line up with what I’m thinking - but something definitely feels off.

Exactly what I was thinking based on the pictures

Commodore?

I’m pretty sure you can rent Blagaurd 2nd floor for free.
