Pearl Street Warehouse

Great venue for music and pub grub. Saw the Plate Scapers and the amazing Wilson Springs Hotel, both had the place jumping. If you want a seat with a table get there early and pay for the VIP seats up in the mezanine floor. Super friendly people. Not a great range of choice on the wine front but what they had was good. Draught beer and cider also available.

Great little venue on the Wharf in D.C. I had never been there before I saw Raue, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Friendly bartenders, but the drinks were a little expensive for my taste. Didn't try the food, but it smelled good. I recommend this venue.

Love this place! Small and intimate, there are nothing but good views. The balcony offers an elevated glimpse of the stage, while the two bars have ample amounts of food and drink choices. Bonus-if you go during nice weather, the front has garage doors that when opened, let in a beautiful breeze! I will be back for the next show.

Pearl street warehouse is a nice intimate venue. Visited this establishment on August 20th 2023 to see Arise Roots. Had a great time! The food wasn't bad either. Overall enjoyed my experience there. I will say parking was expensive and the streets around this area are congested with traffic. But worth the hassel.

Very cool venue! A great find for new music and cheap tickets. The margaritas were delicious and there’s plenty of space for hanging in the back or being on the dance floor.

Pearl Street is one of the best live music venues in town. Intimate with a great mix of local and national acts. They provide great shows, great staff, and the food is worth the visit in itself. All the food is amazing but specifically, the burger and fries will stand up against any spot in town.

The concert was amazing, the bar staff was great and the drinks were great too! Prices are average to bars in any big city. Only comment is that I wish there was some seating that wasn't reserved - otherwise, you stand the entire time.

Amazing venue to see live music. Very intimate experience with the performers and the sound is great. Easy access to the 2 bars and the bartenders are friendly and quick.

Though I have not officially dined here to review the food, I most definitely do not see myself returning again. I went to Pearl Street Warehouse twice: this past Thursday and last night. I mainly went there for two holiday parties. The first time on Thursday night, the people at the door was giving us a hard time refusing to let us in even though I was there to meet up with a friend that was going to take me home. I immediately requested to speak to the manager & he reluctantly let me & my friend in. We went straight to the bar to meet our friend. I asked the bartender for a cup of water. I guess me unwittingly overlooking the pre-made water pitchers annoyed him for working harder than he needed & he pointed at the pre-made water pitchers, not saying a word to me. I told him never mind I'll pour from one of the pitchers. He still decided to make a cup of water anyway despite my small protest. I accepted it. I tasted it & was immediately disgusted. It tasted & smelled like tequila. I am certain he didn't pour tequila in it, but the bar's tap pour must be so dirty or unfiltered from prior servicing, it starts to taste like other things BUT water. I even had my friend to taste & smell it to make sure it wasn't just me, and he agreed. I nicely let the bartender know the water tasted funky. Instead of saying I'm sorry I'll fix that or even just suggesting using the pitchers, he decides to try to make the situation more than what it was by trying to debate/argue with me and was actually accusing me of ACCUSING him that he intentionally tried to pour me something I didn't want to get me "drunk". I was dumbfounded at such an insane & random accusation just because I simply said the water smells & tastes like tequila. Nothing in that statement is accusatory towards him, and I told him I was not accusing him of anything. But I guess he was so upset from my minor complaint that he got the bar manager involved to "prove me wrong." The bar manager didn't seem to want to get involved but did anyway. The bartender decided to taste the water to essentially gaslight me & tell me it didn't smell nor taste bad. The bar manager tried it too & agreed with him. They were 100% wrong and unprofessional. I'm unsure what was the point of going out of the way to prove two customers wrong instead of simply letting it go, but I can assure you me & my friends will never return nor recommend this place. Based on other reviews I've read on here, I see that I am not the only one who has had bad encounters from rude staff and management and seems to have been an issue for YEARS. This might have been one of the rudest & nastiest encounters I've ever had at any establishment in my life. Trying to cause a scene with a customer over dirty water is a very bad look. I would highly suggest the staff, especially that specific bartender, to seek professional help & professional development in customer service. Beyond that very rude and insulting encounter, the ambiance was that of a dirty frat bar, area around the bar is very unclean & the floor is soaked in spilled drinks, so if you go there on a busy night (if they have those), be careful. The live performance on Friday was meh, but I think that was a band the folks hosting the holiday party chose. I also saw in other reviews that the talent they tend to pick are mediocre at best. I can see that being true I do believe Pearl Street Warehouse saving grace is its location (the Wharf). If this establishment existed anywhere else in DC, I am doubtful they'd still be in business solely from their rudeness/unprofessionalism. Hopefully, they will improve on custom service.

Yoh, that's so good! I love this place! Especially...you absolutely have to go when they have the groups night (next one is on April the 8th) so you get to see different groups just performing for fun but who are absolutely gorgeous and spoon entertaining! Also, some are qualitatively stunning!! Someone I know was performing, and I enjoyed the whole night and all the bands! I didn't eat any sort of food, tho, since I got there after dinner...just got some tequila shots Service seemed pretty friendly and welcoming! :)

A fun, intimate, unique venue! I sat at one of the high top tables during a concert and it was a really cool vibe - getting to sit and eat/drink but still being surrounded by a concert crowd. I'll definitely be trying to return for a few more shows in the future!

Stopped by here for a drink with friends. I got their cider on tap. It was delicious. Service was quick as well. They have a bar that is connected to the inside but also faces outside. So you can hangout and mix with friends outdoors or you can take your drinks inside. It's a dynamic experience. They have bands/artists come play. There's even an upstairs section with tables for another viewing experience. This is a great place to stop by if you're hopping around at the wharf or looking to get a drink with friends. Or you could even plan ahead and find a fun show to watch!

Great music venue! The service is quick and well trained, and the shows are intimate and well done! They are also incredibly generous to vets and first responders!

I came here for a show (ZO!, Tall Black Guy with Deborah Bond) over a weekend Parking/Getting Here You could take the metro (walk or shuttle from L'Enfant Plaza, or metro from Waterfront stop) or park in one of the garages. I opted to metro over so I can't speak on how the parking garages are at the Wharf. Every time i come there most of them are full or near full so I guess get there early if you're there for a show and hope your show doesn't coincide with a big show at The Anthem? Venue An intimate, neighborhood-bar type of feel with a split level, an ok sized dance floor (its not the only dance floor at the Wharf, not sure how that idea came about when there's several music venues with sizeable dance space at the Wharf). Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, staff is personable. Sound was great. I'd definitely come back to see a show here again soon! Drinks I had the "Pearl Punch" don't ask me what was in it, i'm guessing a little bit of everything? But it was a nice amount and was served in a huge (to me it was huge) container and lasted me for a good while, enough to where i didn't bother buying another drink lol. Service was quick and polite. I did not have any food items so i cannot speak on that.

Amazing atmosphere and really friendly staff. Parking nearby is crazy expensive but it's the wharf

Thoroughly enjoyed this location!! There's a dance floor (which I believe is the only dance floor available at the wharf)! The drinks are delicious, and the bars are quick at getting what you want! The night we went it was $35/person but you get access to this bar and Saxx Lounge (which has a dress code - 8 mi driving distance from this location). Not sure if that's every night or not, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot!!

Great burger. Decent venue fir live music. Will have to try again in warmer weather yo enjoy the patio. Friendly staff.

As a music venue pretty darn good - I like the space and the atmosphere (not as grunge as the 9:30 club - I had bene there recently). The event was the holiday blues a palooza, on 12/18/2022. I was there with my 2 daughters (oldest 30, youngest 22) to listen to some good music. The opening acts were good (Lady Larks and Moonshine Society) were really good. Bobby Black Hat joined a few songs and plays a really mean harmonica. The headliner (Knight Hawks) were ok, but we didn't stay long. Drinks form the bar were well prepared but pricy in my opinion. what caught me by surprise was Saucy Claus and a bit of a burlesque show (2 stripteases). well done, but I wasn't expecting it, and I will say it made me sweat a wee bit because I was there with my daughters. I get it was an 18 plus environment, but maybe a notice on the skin would have been appropriate. The girls' were ok with it and I was too, but just not watching it together. We didn't sample the food so no comments there. I'll go back for the music but not for the burlesque entertainment if I can help it.

Love this place. Great music venue with terrific bar service. Really enjoyed the Will Gravatt Band tonight. Once a month! The service was great as always. Didn't partake tonight, but the food is great too!

If you need some entertainment in these socially distanced times, get on Pearl's mailing list because they are holding live streams of fun shows in lieu of actual concerts. And once the world goes back to normal, check them out because it's a fun venue. As with just about everything in the Wharf, it lacks character and feels very bland, but it's intimate and has solid accoustics. They have a full bar with table service during the shows, plus there's a small side bar that sells food. Several people were enjoying something to eat before the show we attended, though we didn't try anything. For seating options, there are tables and a small dance floor, and when the crowd is packed in, there is great energy. We saw the Chuck Brown Band here not long before things started shutting down for coronavirus, and they really put on a great show. In a sign of the times, they ended the show with "For the love of god, wash your hands!" Hopefully we'll be back out there agaim before too long!

The food is subpar. I honestly wish they had more options. Although it's American food, there are more options that just shrimp, blts, and basic burgers. The security is rude, except when this one guy was there for a short time, he was really nice. The manager I believe, African American guy. Is really indifferent. Doesn't like to answer questions about the establishment or menu, and just flat out rude. I did enjoy the music and drinks. But the food, security, and the manager are terrible!

They only have bar stoles so if you are like me you will be uncomfortable sitting to eat or watch a show. I wouldn't go back for that reason.

I went to the Pearl-esque blues brunch today. The show and venue were great. The food is 100% garbage, the buffet is so bad it just felt like a waste of food like don't even bother if that's what the buffet is. They had dry home fries, some kind of bacon, pancakes, some fruit, croissants and some kind of egg squares with peppers. Just eat before you go and you'll still have fun.

Poor music and amateur bands with loud music sounds like someone screaming in the microphone tried to go there with friends but was very disappointed and left

I followed some friends here recently after an event down by The Wharf and glad that I did. I didn't know the show was free that date, but on the visit they had a band called "The Grandsons" playing and they were actually good - my first time hearing them. Visiting this spot gave me an opportunity to check out the place as it was my first time inside - whoever came up with the plan to have a free show after a big event in the area was smart as I now know what the inside looks like. I almost had made it here back in Dec 2017 as I had purchased tickets for a show (just couldn't attend). Their box office is to the right of the entrance (outside) and you don't pay any extra charges for tickets. The venue has 2 bars, one was opened to the outside on this date - pretty cool; the other had a TV you can watch - also above this bar they show the next 4 upcoming performers. They have an upstairs which I didn't check out as I was having too much fun on the lower level. When a band is playing and you are enjoying the music, I did not want to be sitting and that seems like the set up upstairs (tables and chairs). The place reminded me of the 9:30 club but on a much smaller scale. Drinks were good and the atmosphere seemed chill. I am actually looking forward to seeing a show here as I like the overall setup.

I love this place. The venue is on the wharf. It is a great event space. There are two bars, and upstairs dining area, seating around the dance floor and room to just hang. The place is actually bigger than it looks from the outside. The restrooms are large and clean. The staff is nice. There is a convenient coat check area. You won't be able to have a quiet conversation unless the band isn't playing. However it is a great place to just have fun. Metro is conveniently nearby. The menu isn't extensive but the food is good.

Great music venue. I definitely appreciate the food & ticket prices given how crazy expensive this area is now. I've been here many times, everyone from the bartenders to the kitchen staff are all very friendly and pleasant. Music has been awesome every time I have been there. I've had their burgers, loaded tots and cocktails, all really good and tasty. Beer list is pretty awesome too. Highly recommended!

During COVID, there wasn't a wait. We were seated immediately late Saturday night. The waitress was kind and very friendly. The food : everything was so salty! Jerk chicken was extremely salty, didn't taste any "Jamaican" flavor. Buffalo shrimp & the Vietnamese wedges had too much sauce. We spent over $130 on the food which consist of like 3 appetizers and 1 salad. 2 beers & 1 cocktail drink. Why was it $130? Well they automatically added in an additional "COVID" tip. One of the things I did not like about this restaurant was at the end, I stood at a distance away from the hostess desk which was located outside; I was facing away from the restaurant talking to my bf and the "bouncer" or who ever came from inside of the restaurant , stood outside the door, and told me I need to have a mask on when I'm inside the establishment. Of course I refused because I wasn't even INSIDE the establishment and was at least 6 foot away from it. Technically I was waiting for the waitress outside the premises. Earlier that night, the worker, he chased me down in the establishment to tell me the same thing as I'm about to walk inside the bathroom. Meanwhile, the bartender and the people at the bar was not wearing a mask at all. The food & rudeness from that one worker was a turn off. Probably won't come back & will not recommend this place.

Pearl Street Warehouse is a pretty neat little venue. Nice for local shows and to be up close and personal with the bands. They have a quaint little outdoor area where you can still hear and vaguely see the music even if you can't get inside. Ticket prices are decent between $12-$15. I've only tried the Pulled Pork Tots, food wise, which were DELICIOUS! My only real complaint is the service. I had ordered a drink for a friend and when the bartender handed me the drink, I said I didn't think that was what I had ordered (since mine came in a can, which I brought with me up to the bar) and this was on draft. I took what she gave me back to my friend and she confirmed my suspicions. My friend went back up to the bar and explained that this wasn't the drink that was ordered. They gave her the can instead. When we went to close out, they had charged us both for that same drink, me for the draft that was returned and her for the correct canned drink. When I asked about it they said it was my fault for not being more specific about the beverage and that since I paid in cash they couldn't refund me... which to me, didn't make any sense at all. I just said okay, as I didn't feel like arguing over $8 but was pretty annoyed to say the least at their lack of customer service and the double charge in general. They didn't offer to give me another drink, since they couldn't refund me the cash, or anything or the sort. It was "tough luck" with some extreme attitude from the bartenders on the side. PSW is a small interesting venue, but I'll probably order drinks somewhere else, at the Wharf, before walking over for a show. Update: Not only did this happen. But, I did pay for two additional drinks with a credit card... Happened to check my credit statement today and they charged that twice too....

We've seen The Vegabonds (Oh my God, they're amazing; don't ever miss a show!) 3 times there, and it's a great venue. It's pretty small, but has two bars and some seating upstairs that you can reserve. The food is a variety of standard bar fare, but it's pretty good. The sound was great, and since it's a music venue, that's what matters. Oh, and it has 3 stalls in the bathroom and ladies, that's important right?

Pearl Street Warehouse is an intimate, live music concert venue located in the Wharf DC that can hold up to 150 sitting and 300 standing. The closest metro stops are Waterfront and L'Enfant Plaza. Most shows are 21 and over unless specified. The diner, bar, and box office accepts both cash and card payments. The seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Pearl Street Warehouse is the coolest concert venue I've been in ages. It was nice to know when the headliner band hit the stage. I liked how smoking was not permitted in the venue, the concert I attended was a combination of seats and standing, the bar was a short walk from the stage, and there was water ddispenser at the bar. My favorite drink was Pimper's Paradise, consisted of pineapple infused rum, lime juice, and simple syrup.

This is just for breakfast. Nightlife here seems super nice but I have yet to check it out. Stopped in this morning to grab a breakfast sandwich. Pros: Nice staff is one of the stars, and the bacon egg and cheese biscuit I landed on wasn't bad. Everything cooked well. Mixed Bag: The egg and biscuit ratio to everything else made it a bit bland. Bad: Initially asked for this $8 egg sandwich on a bagel. I asked where the bagel was from (New York habits nudging in) and they didn't know. It looked like a standard sysco bagel from a distance. I then got the bill and while I expected a $2 charge for bacon as it was listed on the menu, I near toppled when I saw they charged an additional $3 for the bagel making this simple concoction $14 with tax!! Server apologized that the upcharge wasn't listed and I asked, "What kind of cheese is it? Cheddar?" and she said, "American". So I had to ask, "Am I paying $8 for a slice of American cheese and egg (plus some labor because of course I plan to tip)?" The answer is yes. I downgraded to biscuit immediately. Holy sticker shock.

HIDDEN JEM ALERT! Pearl Street Warehouse is so cool! I stumbled across this venue one night after dinner at The Warf without every hearing about it. I love how they have an outside bar where you can stand and watch the unique performances. They also have a balcony-level viewing area with seating if you don't want to be part of the crowd in front of the stage. Can't wait to go back!

I've grabbed a drink at this place during simpler times. I've always liked the outdoor area since you can catch a breeze but it's not as packed as the main strip on the water. I tried to bring two friends here last night but ended up leaving before being seated. I showed up with one of my friends and we both had bikes. I was hoping we could just keep them near one of the tables that had an enormous space in between it. When we walked up the waitress even suggested that table because of the space for the bikes. They definitely take COVID distancing serious here and the bikes would not have blocked anyone from moving. They were truly off and out of the way. We were about to be seated when an older guy came up and rudely started on about the bikes. His tone was that the bikes would somehow lower the vibe at this place (l o l). Most of the tables were empty and it's definitely not Dorsia, but whatever. The hostess helpfully suggested that we could keep them right outside the rope line, but he had an issue with that too (Funny, because I'm guessing he had zero ability to police this area since it's not part of their restaurant). This guy was such a dickhead that we ended up leaving. If you just flat out don't want bicycles near your property then that's fine it's your prerogative. I want to emphasize that the way this place is spread out it truly wasn't an issue (99% of outdoor areas I would never even try to bring my bike in since it would jam everything up). Even then, you can be polite about it and we would have gone and locked everything up and came back for some drinks/food. This dude's attitude bordered on incredulous and in the end it just cost him business. The hostess was awesome though and she should probably have his job.

Came to the Wharf to see a band. It was rainy and cold out, and we almost left, but found out that "Pearl Street" isn't a street, but a venue. We only had drinks, as we came just for the band. But it seems they serve food as well, the food looked good from afar. Drinks were good, a little overpriced if you ask me, but it was a nice place, so I didn't mind spending a little extra. Will definitely come back to see more bands play at this venue.

Wow! What a cool concert venue. I went to a sold-out show and thought it would be overwhelming and too crowded to dance. However, I was very pleased to find out it was the total opposite! There was plenty of room to dance, drink, and be merry. There's an upstairs and TVs that you can watch the concert on! So even if you didn't get a good view of the stage (which is nearly impossible due to the size of the venue) you can still watch the action on a nearby TV. DRINKS: Hound Dog. A+++ Pimper's Paradise A+++ Holy moly! We drank a LOT here... we didn't mean to! You can tell we drank a lot because my pictures of the menu are so blurry! Sorry, Yelpers! You can still read it, right? The drinks were so tasty and the dancing was so fun that we couldn't stop ourselves. More of a personal problem but hey... this place makes a killer Mule. The cocktails are $11 bucks, and I don't believe there's a happy hour price. Keep that in mind so you aren't shocked by the bill (yes, like we were) but that's the price of a good time in DC... amitrite?! Anyway, would love to come back for another show. I'll be keeping an eye on the events happening here!

Okay, you've read the reviews so far, right? What is the *one* thing you've learned about Pearl Street Warehouse? Don't go for the food!! It's a bar, people, and a music venue, the food is expensive for what it is and not really worth it unless you are pressed for time or it's before a concert. So don't eat the food, please. And if you insist on eating there, you will be like every other person reviewing it, and leaving a two or three star review. I don't understand why people bother reading Yelp if they're not going to take it into account when they go out. Having said that, and wow, I do feel much better! We saw the cactus blossoms recently, and I thought the venue was pretty good as a live music place. It's sort of a combination of a self-comscious dive bar, with some cute little retro touches. It's pretty small and intimate; it was easy to get a seat--boy, do I hate to stand up when I listen to music. The ladies room was clean, and the crowd kind of eclectic in that older, white, affluent, ex hippie kind of way. I'd return there, I just wouldn't eat there.

We had a private event here over the weekend and I cannot brag on the bar staff enough! They made great drinks and even had some recommendations based on what I was ordering. Highly recommend it to anyone nearby!

This place would not let anyone in when it was this "packed," or in other words...empty. The bartenders and "managers" were unbelievably rude, causing some people in our party to never be let into the bar and others leaving. They specifically seemed to be against letting women into the bar, claiming a number of us who were unrelated to each other had "too much to drink" although that was not the case and we were just being vocal about how the number of people leaving the bar didn't seem to correlate with the number being let in. Never go to this place unless you want to be treated like you don't matter.

This is not a bar for people hoping to come hear live music and enjoy drinks for free, anymore!. I have lived next to this establishment for over 3 years and before the pandemic it was great! Now! Not so much! They do NOT host people wanting to enjoy music and drinks, that was pre pandemic! Now it's only by private event or you pay 20 bucks or more per person just to enter! Don't waste your time or your money!

I've read a few of the recent complaints on Yelp, and my handful of experiences at Pearl Street Warehouse have never been less than positive. The bartender has always been attentive, the food and prices are good for a place on the Wharf, and the ID check at the door has been uninteresting. I've never been here for live music, I've only come in casually for drinks and food. The happy hour is worth it.

Came here to watch the women's World Cup final. They were severely understaffed. Management decided that it would be a great idea to have one waiter, and that waiter had never worked brunch before. A+ management there, y'all. Then 28 minutes into the game, we were informed that they ran out of mimosas. RAN OUT. During a regular brunch hour. Excellent management yet again. So to keep with the soccer theme, i would PASS on this place. Definitely not a KEEPER for the wharf.

The Basics: I want to like this spot. I really do. In fact I have come more than a handful of times. Every time I come here, I want to ENJOY a beverage (or two) after a ride and a food, sadly, that has never happened. The Venue: The venue has two bars and offers a basic food menu. One of the bars has a walk-up alley opening and a section blocked off with standing tables. There is a stage and a decent amount of spectator space. The venue welcomes many local and smaller artists, and has a few B lost arrests too. The venue has great potential. The Location: Located in Washington DC's new Wharf district, this new hip location has plenty of tourists and curious residents visiting the area. Side note, this area promotes more of a Savannah or Charleston feel than DC. The Staffers: Like I mentioned before, I generally come here on two wheels. The first time I came here, the bar tender allowed me to place my bike in the empty bar area while I topped off my water bottle and got a beer. While there, the Manager came out in a hissy and told me to move my bike outside. The bar area literally had no one there, except me. After some minor protest, I left my half drank beer and departed. I should have learned my lesson. The next time I came by, I decided to check out the outdoor bar instead. Similar interaction... "sir, no bikes permitted outside this bar". WTF? They tell me there are bike docks everywhere. That's not the point. Third time (still haven't learned)... "sir, you cannot stand at the blue tables, only the salmon tables, and your bike cannot be in this area". Again, some dismay, but I oblige and leave a half drunk beer. The Food: mediocre and overpriced Why 2 stars and not 1: I've been here about 5 times and 3 have been shit. The other two have been OK, not great, but not bad. I would avoid this place at all costs if you have a bike. If not, don't expect much either, but you shouldn't have any problems.

I have been three times now and this place is the best. I love the option to stand outside to have a drink and smoke. I love the live music. The tables on the second floor looking towards the stage are amazing! Pro tip: get there early to grab a seat! Seating is very limited.

I came here for a show a few weeks ago and really liked the the venue. It was small, but easy to maneuver around and definitely felt like a more intimate experience. The food and drinks were both good, not great, but for a concert venue it was better than expected. They do have a couple items that seem like easy fixes that I am hoping will change by the time I come back: 1. Remove the hand dryers from the bathrooms. They are extremely loud and at times it was hard to hear what the musician was saying because of them. It is a sunk cost, remove them and put in paper towels. Until then keep the sliding door closed at all times to help muffle the sound. 2. Turn off the giant billboard light behind the bar when the show starts. It felt like watching a movie with the lights on. A couple songs before the show ended they turned off the light and it was instantly a more enjoyable atmosphere. There was still enough light to see all the drinks/food available.

Having read all the reviews here, it's encouraging that many others have commented on the screwy back wall logo arrangement. Blazing Neon (sounds like the title of a Mel Brooks film) destroys the view from the floor of the club.

We attended an amazing event here. The band was amazing. The foot was awesome, especially the hot chicken sandwich and the tots! Servers were super attentive and kind as well. Definitely will be back again to hang out!

Went there to help my friends In the band sub radio out My new favorite concert venue Would definitely recommend this place The owners are super nice they teach me the band very well plenty of food and drinks My favorite thing off the menu was deep fried deep fried ravioli I will definitely come here again if I could a gave it six stars I would've

We were a party of two that was told the minimum was $30/person food and drink. No big deal that's ok. Problem is when they sneak in another 20% "Covid surcharge"...!!!! WTF is that? Went to 6 other places all day and non charged that. Don't like being nickel and dimed Not really worth it in my opinion.

This is such a great music venue and place to gather and hang out. Can't wait to try breakfast. I've been to one show on their second night open and it was a lot of fun. Great music, good food, got there early and snagged a table. Great ambiance too. I also love that when I walk around the Wharf, on many nights the windows are open and you can get a listen to whoever's playing that nights show as you walk by. The little diner area is so tiny..a few times I have walked by wanting to get in but no room to sit. I guess that's a good problem for them to have. In general, this is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and I already have tickets for my next show to visit.

Had a great time at The Big Lewboski Experience, good food, good white russian and great waitress. I like the layout good seating for us older folk.

I wish I could say they booked B talent, future stars or even something palpable.... but not even close. I appreciate the attempt to provide a place for good music, but it's left at "place."

One aspect of a well run club is management's ability to make all their customers satisfied. That means when things aren't quite right they jump in and get it straight. On two occasions here I've seen it happen and it changed the mood of the evening. So kudos to the staff here, they have their act together..... so we can enjoy the music!!

Great people. Good drink! Shiner and Tito's on tap! Multiple bars and service to the streetside. Whoo hoo!!

My family and I stopped here for a late lunch. Our first clue should have been that no one was there except the employees. We ordered fried ravioli as an appetizer and they came to the table very dark. We sent them back and the second serving was much better. I ordered the buffalo chicken egg roll, came with a bone in it. My son ordered a chicken sandwich. We had to send it back because it didn't even look like meat.... I'm sure it would be a fun place for music, but trying to eat here I would avoid at all cost!!!

Excellent in all facets of an A-Room music venue. Great atmosphere, location, sound, lighting, service, food. Well done. WGG

Here's my review of Pearl Street Warehouse based on my experience there on the night of Feb. 13, 2019 Pearl Street Warehouse has been positioned as one of the smaller scale siblings of The Anthem in the uber-pricey Wharf development. Smaller acts might mean cheaper tickets, BUT...THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO PARKING...which is just as likely as not going to cost you around $25 if you plan on catching some of the opening act and then stay for the entirety of the headliner. So, let's say you paid $15 to see Sarah Shook and the Disarmers with National Reseve opening and you get there to see some of the opener because National Reserve is a pretty good band. Surprise! When you factor in parking that's now a $40 ticket, and after a few cans of the cheapest swill they sell ($7 Budweisers...because, it's the Wharf...of course a Bud is going to be $7), your $15 concert is coming in closer to a $70 night out. If you choose to eat here then that $15 concert could easily jump up to around a $100 night out because this good ol' rootsy music cafe charges $12 for a BLT and $9 for a simple burger. You can get a better burger for less a few yards away at Shake Shack, as well as cheaper beer...FYI. Sound was a bit weak and the place just lacked a certain feeling I love in a good music club.It felt stale and fake. I kept thinking, "this would be so much better at the RnR Hotel." For any artist considering playing here, please go somewhere else in DC if you can, and that goes double for the Anthem. Pearl Street Warehouse has all the charm of an airport bar and the Wharf as a whole seems to have been built on the belief that anyone who doesn't earn well over six figures (or live on a perment unlimited expense account) should be gently pushed away and kept out. Oh well, mission accomplished - this regular old middle class guy is never going back.

Alright so my friends and i came here for the bottomless mimosas because the deal was cheap and the food looked decent. First of all, the glasses are tops 4 ounces. Secondly, they are 90% orange juice. And thirdly, the manager (Laurie Beth) told our waiter to space out our mimosas even thought the menu says bottomless. If the restaurant was busy and everyone was ordering bottomless, i would have understood but we are the only ones doing bottomless. We talked to her about it and she gave no valid reasons other than that she was the manager and in charge. This is honestly not appropriate if a restaurant claims to be bottomless. If you come and are planning on drinking, go somewhere else.
