The Gathering Spot

I've heard about this space for a while and I finally made it. The space was beautiful!!!!!!I came here for a nightlife event and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful minimalist aesthetic. I really liked the open kitchen on the second level opposite of the bar. But it was a bit crowded with the cocktail tables also back there.The restrooms were very clean and I appreciated the complimentary lotion and huge mirror in the hallway. The sound wasn't too good for most of my event, but I'm not sure if that was due to the event organizers or the venue. My favorite thing about that Gathering Spot is the location. Since there isn't much nightlife in the area, parking was not a hassle. There was an abundance of street parking (that could also be due to the time of day)I will definitely recommend The Gathering Spot for events

This social club in DC was very cool to check out. They have a ton of work from home space on their first floor as well as level 4. Level 4 was completely empty when we visited which made it seem easier to work from home. The 4th level also has a chess and jenga set. There is a place to store your items as well. The social club comes with free breakfast. We were able to choose from 3 items each on the menu. We ended up getting pancakes, bacon, mixed fruits, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, grits, and a parfait. The mixed fruits were slightly disappointing. It tasted like it came from a dole fruit can. The pancake was spot on delicious. It was super fluffy and even without much syrup it still tasted delicious. The bacon was good as well. Our highlight was definitely the chicken sausage. Do not miss the chicken sausage! We complemented the chef on it because we never tasted such a beautiful dish before.

I've heard about the DC Gathering Spot location. I was able to visit during my work trip. Such a blessed place and good people. The owner is supper nice and staff is beyond kind. If you want to be around a great community of people I recommend going. The shrimp salad taste amazing too.

This week I've attended two events at the Gathering Spot DC, and I am pleasantly surprised. The space is primarily for business and networking but in the evenings it's open for private events. With a membership you get breakfast and refreshments throughout the day.The staff is amazing, friendly, and they go out of their way to ensure that members and guests are comfortable. It's the perfect solution for professionals to get out of the house, interact with other professionals, and to be productive. #AmazingEnergy #ProfessionalVibe #WorkSpace #MetroAccessible

Came here for a happy hour once. I'm not a member but my friend was. She hosted it and invited a few of our friends. Was good times. Drinks got us lit. I'd check it out again.

This review is mostly for the H Restaurant within the Gathering Spot; my friend and I toured only floors 1 and 2 and did not explore floor 3 on our visit. Highlights from our dinner: friendly service, elegant surroundings, and the best damn appetizer: the H Mac and Cheese has cheddar cheese and Old Bay crab lump and stretches so fine. I nearly took a video of that cheese stretching. Our entrées were both good. I had the Seared Chesapeake Crab Cake. The broccolini was seared just perfectly, with nice smoky flavors. I didn't think the flavors of the butternut squash paired perfectly with the entrée, but it was all plated beautifully. My friend got the Seared Chicken Breast and said nothing but good things about it. Skipping back to the Fall Salad appetizer, that one was a fail for me because of too many onions. Maybe I should have asked for a replacement, but I didn't think about doing that in the moment and treated that appetizer as an obstacle course in how to eat around the onions. The other salad components were delicious. Last but not least, the sorbet with mint and berries was refreshing. There was no decaf coffee available, so dessert wasn't perfect, but overall I will remember this meal very positively. Best of all, this dinner with DC Black Restaurant Week was such a deal! Only $35 per person for three courses (not including the happy hour Mac and Cheese.) Check out this participating restaurant and those other participating businesses if you can.

The Gathering Spot's mission is to be a space to bring people together and create community and collaboration. In total there's three floors: the ground floor has the event space, second floor is a restaurant, and the top floor is work space. You either have to apply for membership or come with an existing member to gain access to all its amenities. I came with an existing member to check out the space and eat at the restaurant. I like the concept and the space essentially has everything you need for the workday: there's a telephone room to take calls, a room for podcasts, group office spaces, individual office spaces, open seating, PO Boxes for rent, and if you ever get hungry you can go down to the restaurant--the H at the Gathering Spot--and grab a quick bite. This review is solely on the space in general (if I included the restaurant it would definitely bring my rating down so that is a separate review on the restaurant's Yelp page...). The Gathering Spot apparently hosts several events per month, I haven't been to one so I can't speak on the quality or frequency of the events.If you're an entrepreneur or if you work remotely full-time and would like to switch it up or have an office space where you can be productive, I think this is a great spot for that. Also if you're new to the area and like to work and mingle, this could be the place for you. I think they also offer free breakfast, which is a great perk.

I absolutely love the gathering spot. It's a beautiful co-working space that's great for networking. Their food/bar lounge area is comfortable with great drinks/dishes. The upstairs has plenty of seating and conference space for small (3-4) and large (8-10) groups. I've been using TGS since their first location in Atlanta but love the DC location just the same!

I am not a member, but was pretty excited to be invited for lunch by a friend. Overall I enjoyed the experience. The place is beautiful on the inside, the ambiance is perfect for the "work from home" scenario where you don't necessarily want to be at home. I had a water with a Caesar salad. It did take about 30 minutes for my salad to come out. So this didn't make it ideal for a lunch spot. Additionally when I was there the elevator wasn't working so we took the back way to get up and down in the building. The salad was good. Nothing too crazy about it good or bad. It was exactly what I was expecting. I would go back if I was invited again, but I would definitely allocate more time.

The ambiance is wonderful and the food and drinks delicious! The servers aimed to please and went above and beyond. I really enjoyed a private party at The Gathering Spot!
