This place has the best customer service of all dc/va area clubs! If you're a girl, you will feel so safe and taken care of here as opposed to most places in DC! Definitely my favorite club in the area. Shoutout to the bathroom keeper lady in the basement, she is the best!

Such an awesome place to just watch people dance and do their thing. Who knows maybe someday I’ll join in. Even as the night weighed on with guests the hospitality was so great. Gio made me an awesome Shirley temple and provided friendly conversation. I definitely recommend for anyone just wanting to get out of their shell to just come vibe here.

There are not enough stars to capture how wonderful it was to have our wedding at Clarendon Ballroom!!! When we first started looking for places in DC to get married, we were a bit overwhelmed by the choices. Thankfully we came across Clarendon Ballroom. We actually didn't know that they did weddings, and we are SO glad we learned that they did, as they don't just "do" weddings...they make the wedding of your dreams possible! We found them to be very affordable, and they do everything in house--linens, staff, bar, food, even the cake! It was so nice to be able to go down the checklist and say "included" to so much and to work with a single venue on so many of the key elements that pull a wedding together. They were an absolute dream to work with! From picking out linens, to our tasting, to helping execute every last wish that we had, they amazed us every step of the way. When we picked up our stuff on the Monday after our wedding, not one single item of decor was missing or damaged and they had gone above and beyond to save the top of our wedding cake (we didn't even ask for this) and send us home with some left over hors d'oeuvres from the cocktail hour! Amazing! Our guests are STILL raving about how gorgeous the venue was, how amazing the food was, how much they loved the location and how cool the rooftop was. I am so grateful to Clarendon Ballroom, Sandra Hoehne, and all the other amazing staff that literally pulled off the wedding of our dreams and I am SO glad that my husband and I chose Clarendon Ballroom as our wedding venue!

Staff was friendly. Did the buffet during the Super Bowl and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Drinks were decent and a good price. Place was clean. Atmosphere was nice. Definitely will try it out again.
