Our main bar, seating 60 or holding up to 100 standing, with the dark-wood, orange neon feel that makes PubKey so easy to settle into. It stays open to the public day to day, so it's a lively spot for a smaller gathering, and it can be reserved as part of a full venue buyout when someone wants the whole space private. Same great food and cocktails, same relaxed, elevated vibe throughout.
The Venue
Every space at PubKey DC. Book one room or take the whole place over.
Our second flexible space, seating 60 or holding up to 100 for a standing reception. A warm, full-service bar, it works beautifully on its own for happy hours, mixers, and cocktail receptions, or it opens into the Ballroom through the garage doors for a larger combined event. Good food, great cocktails, and a relaxed, elevated vibe come standard.
Our flexible event anchor, comfortably hosting 50 to 150 guests and opening up to 250-plus when the garage doors connect it to the event bar. It comes with a built-in 20-foot stage, a 10-foot LED screen, wireless mics, and a full sound and lighting rig, making it ready for anything from corporate summits, product launches, and panels to live shows and private parties. With same-night recording and an on-site podcast studio, full production is handled in house, so your event is easy to capture and reuse.
Our newest space, a fully private room that seats 75 or holds up to 100 standing, with its own full bar. Dark and moody with red neon, candlelight, and warm sconces, it has a sultry, intimate feel that's made for storytelling nights, comedy, live music, and birthday parties. It's a place of your own, tucked away and just a little bit sexy.
The best conversations in DC happen at PubKey. Our podcast studio is where you record them. Broadcast mics, a room that sounds right, and the bar within reach. Drink during, drink after, we don't care.
