For over 160 years, the Old Ebbitt Grill has been serving up delicious food and drinks to locals and visitors alike. As one of the oldest continuously operating saloons in Washington D.C., the restaurant has become a historic landmark and a popular event venue.
Located just steps from the White House and other major attractions, the Old Ebbitt Grill is the perfect location for any type of event, whether it's a corporate meeting, a rehearsal dinner or a birthday celebration. The restaurant offers several private event spaces, including two upstairs rooms that can accommodate 25 to 75 guests, and two larger spaces on the main level - the State Room and the Cabinet Room - which can seat up to 200 guests.
The State Room, located on the main floor, is the restaurant's grandest event space with its large windows, high ceilings and striking décor. It's perfect for wedding receptions, galas or corporate banquets. The Cabinet Room, which was a favorite spot of Presidents McKinley, Cleveland and Harding, is a more intimate space that can be used for small dinners, meetings or presentations.
Regardless of the event space chosen, attendees will be treated to the same exceptional cuisine that has made the Old Ebbitt Grill famous. The menu features classic American dishes, such as oysters on the half shell, crab cakes, steaks and burgers, as well as creative cocktails and an extensive wine list.
In addition to the delicious food and elegant atmosphere, the Old Ebbitt Grill is also known for its history and charm. The restaurant is adorned with antique fixtures, artwork and memorabilia, providing guests with a glimpse into Washington D.C.'s rich past.
The Old Ebbitt Grill's prime location, impeccable service and unique ambiance make it the ideal event venue for any occasion.
