Bar & Bat Mitzvahs
Bar and Bat Mitzvah venues in Washington, DC
A Bar or Bat Mitzvah happens once, so the celebration deserves a setting that feels truly special. Our three venues across DC operate as complete private buyouts, meaning families have sole use of the entire space with no public access.
Each venue offers 5,000 square feet of flexible event space, centrally located minutes from Northwest DC, Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Connecticut Avenue synagogues, with the Reservation Team planning the bar, entertainment and décor with you.
The Reservation Team replies within 2 business hours, with a written proposal within 24 hours. Pricing comes in your written proposal.
