It’s a 2,000-square-foot Black woman-owned venue that features a plush lounge, a screening room for watching movies, and other rooms ideal for mixing and mingling.

Our guests were so impressed by the entire production and continue to rave about how much fun they had. If you are looking for a beautiful space to host your next event, look no further.”

2. An airy and spacious Dupont Circle art gallery

From the moment they arrive at the entrance of this gallery, your guests will be in awe! The magnificent exterior architecture welcomes you into a comfortable and engaging art gallery. Art-adorned hallways lead to well-lit nooks and visual surprises: whitewashed brick and bay windows, to name a few.

These days, the multiple fireplaces are purely decorative, but that does not detract from the coziness that their mere presence offers. Create a party that invites guests to wander and enjoy the exhibits before settling in for games.

“The space is gorgeous, the location perfect, the host was gracious, super helpful, and responsive,” reveals a Peerspace reviewer. “We were able to host a surprise virtual baby shower for my sister with her and a few friends at the venue.
