    distribute is for the live band open mic called "Sounds & Spirits" which is every third Sunday and has Ben Throw Social since the end of 2022. What more can you ask for with an open mic. They have a signed up list off to the side. They also have pre-registration for artist who want the band to learn their original music before the show and do not charge them to learn it. If you are a musician, they allow you to play on set as well. They have had some amazing guest celebrity and national recording artist. They have hookah now. The drinks are not expensive and the food is decent. This review was just for the experience alone.

    My friends and I visited for the Super Bowl, and while the vibes were great, the experience was a miss. The chips, queso, and salsa tasted store-bought, and the queso was lukewarm. The Old Bay dry rub wings had good flavor but were overly seasoned. Nicole and Rain were great! Despite a drink order mix-up, they made up for it with a free round of shots. Our food arrived quickly, but drinks (2 shots, 1 Tropical Lemonade) took over an hour and a half which was a bit ridiculous. Tara (the manager) eventually expedited them and offered another free round, which was appreciated. There was a fun commercial bingo game, and great DJs, but the overall experience was frustrating. Audio/video issues caused us to miss pre-game highlights, though the issues were thankfully fixed by kickoff. Overall, if you're looking for drinks and entertainment definitely check them out, but I wouldn't recommend for food.

    My family and I were here for a reunion and decided on Throw Social. It was such a fun experience! The service was prompt, the food was delicious and of course we played games and danced the entire time thanks to the DJ! We came earlier in the day because we had small kids with our group, and they enjoyed themselves as well! We had such a good time!

    Food: I mean...they tried to kill us with how much sugar was on and the sugar cubes INSIDE those waffles. Chicken was good. It was seasoned. No one raved about the food. Service: the birthday girl wasn't pleased. Well, they brought me my waffles with no strawberries. I'm guessing bc everyone else got no strawberries. I did! Ambiance: the decor is beautiful. Well thought out. DJ: The DJ needs her own category! She was ahhhhmazzzing! She was a total vibe! I mean...I want to give 5 stars just because of her.

    I went for my birthday brunch with my girls to keep the Miami vibes going and it was a miss. Elevator was broken so lots of stairs. I had Eventbrite tickets but no one checked or directed us. Bottomless brunch was advertised on Eventbrite but not available so everything was à la carte and the mimosa came in a solo cup (was way too much juice in the DMV) my fellow brunchers understand. Food was underwhelming (how do you mess up eggs), Staff appeared uninterested and disengaged but the DJ and bartender (guy) were highlights. We ended up leaving and going to Park on 14th...Seems like a night spot but brunch needs work. Let's collaborate and make brunch great again.

    Throw Social is an entire VIBE! I was planning out a visit to D.C. last August and wanted to experience authentic go-go music. Many of the venues that were recommended to me were further out of the immediate D.C. area, which was a bit much for me as a solo traveler. Somehow I came across Throw Social and was made aware that they had live bands on the weekend. Going there was the best decision. I stopped by on a Friday night as they advertise live go-go bands specifically on that night. I arrived around 11:30pm and it was already bustling. In fact, a line had formed to get in. Admission is about $20 before 10pm and they accept cash or card. Upon walking in, I was thoroughly impressed. The venue is pretty big. There is a full service bar, stage and standing area, as well as cabanas for bottle service, and a whole area for games like jenga and ping pong. I purchased a drink and tried to find an area that I could post up and enjoy the music. The bar was very busy and the music was loud so it was a bit of an annoyance trying to tell the bartender what I wanted. Luckily, they have paper menus, so I pointed to my choice and she made it. I opted for the cucumber twist drink. It was refreshing and delicious. A bit sneaky though since it isn't strong. They also offer free tap water at the bar. Additionally, they serve food. There were a lot of great choices but unfortunately, I waited too late to request food and did not get a chance to try it out. In terms of the music, the live band was amazing! It seems they play in sets. I missed the first set however, they returned about 2 more times to play for a length of time. In-between that, the DJ would play a few tunes. The music had a lot of bass with a great groove. Lots of twerking going on as well and folks were cheering for more of the band. I loved it and it was exactly what I was looking for. In terms of service, it was limited to the bar. Pricing was decent, about $16 for my drink. The crowd was a mature mixture of what seemed to be late 20s to late 30s. It was packed but everyone seemed respectful of space. Overall, it was a great time. I can't wait to return and I'd definitely recommend to others. Seems like a great place to celebrate a special occasion or have a night out with friends.

    I went to Throw Social on a Saturday morning for a birthday brunch. We rented an indoor cabana for about three (3) hours. The atmosphere is very colorful and the venue is huge with outdoor seating. There's a few bar stations and games throughout, live DJ and huge dance floor. The music was really good and the customer service was great. We had a large party and our waiter was very patient and attentive. For these reasons, I would come back. The day vibe was great so I'm curious to see how it is at night. Unfortunately, the food wasn't anything to brag about. Not bad, but not great. I got chicken & waffles and the waffle was very sweet, I didn't finish it. I did like that the chicken served with the dish was wings versus chicken breast. The drinks were really good and the prices overall were great as well. Overall, I'd recommend this spot. I think it's a good time for sure.

    If you're looking for a place to have fun then this is it. The vibes are perfect for dancing and having a great time. The DJ played a variety of throwbacks and current hits that had us moving. When I arrived around 3 they were still doing the brunch menu but they switched over at 4 to the dinner food. It was pretty easy getting a drink in the beginning as it wasn't too busy but it did take a while to get the bartenders attention when it got crowded but they tried to move through people as fast as they could. The vibes are definitely lit and fun. It's great place to have bday celebrations and group events. I would definitely return and want to check their outdoor area next time too!

    Please note that this review is solely based on the ambience and the games as we didn't eat or drink here. Throw social is such a vibe! If you are looking for an engaging, active outing, where you can "lay your hair down" and release that inner kid, this may be your jam! Not only is Throw Social beautifully decorated, the options of games are also super fun. The game options we saw were ping pong, beer pong, big Jenga, and the over sized tic tac toe. There is also a DJ that plays all the jams. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One thing to note is that there isn't a cover charge until maybe 9pm. As for parking, there is an abundant amount of street parking and garage parking. If you are near by, I definitely recommend you visit.

    This whole place has the coolest overall vibe! Imagine the ultimate indoor BBQ vibe with sick drinks, a live DJ, rooftop, games, and wide open space! I came with friends early on a Sunday for brunch and we were the first ones there but folks started trickling in. Had we not have to catch a train I def would have stayed longer! I ordered the Caesar salad and it was quite filling, I actually couldn't finish it. You can rent cabanas on the "lawn" and I'd totally recommend it if you have a bigger group. With a group of 4 it's not necessarily worth it.

    Margarita tree
    Taylor B.

    So I decided to have my birthday here, and wow I was so disappointed. The music was way too loud for the type of venue. How can you be social if no one can hear you? Putting in orders was near impossible, because our poor waitress was working both UPSTAIRS and DOWNSTAIRS. I felt bad for her and hope they learn to manage staffing better. Everyone was confused on staff. No one knew the menu or where orders were going. They were running a birthday special, so my friends ordered it for me. They had to fight to get my dessert and I believe I was charged for the drink that was meant to be free. There was no sparklers or sign. We were thankful to at least get the dessert like nearly an hour later. It was so stressful for something so simple. It was also hot. SO HOT. There were barely people there, so I can't imagine if the place was crowded. The only thing I enjoyed were the drinks, and I wouldn't come back for just that. Overall, this was one of the worst experiences in the 7-8 years of living in the DMV. The margarita tree is fun, but with everything else, would never come back.

    Cassy B.

    3.8 stars! I came here for a friend's birthday celebration, and we had a blast! There is so much to do to keep yourself and friends entertained, including cute photo ops with their neon LED lights, foosball tables, a large connect 4 grid, a dance floor, etc! For food we got a delicious flatbread, and drinks, a margarita tree that can serve up to 4-5 people! Unfortunately, they only assigned a few servers to our 20+ party so wait time for food and drinks was a bit longer than anticipated. However, you can keep yourself busy while you wait. The DJ was amazing and played my song requests so my friend and I could dance our hearts out!

It is truly a marvel. The distillery does a great job at providing a great on-site bar experience, too. It is dim for a nice mood, always has a great playlist, and their cocktail list is always changing and always interesting. It is winter time, which means it's coquito time. La Famosa makes the world's best coquito, and it showcases C&R's rum nicely. If you want to keep it simpler, their rum old fashioned is delicious, too. They do not sell beer or wine, just rum, but with rum this good, who cares. They make a bunch of interesting, small batch rums throughout the year, and they work very well in cocktails, you will find something you like no matter what you like.

There's a $10 per person deposit when booking reservations. The deposit goes toward your final bill, but you forfeit it if you're a no-show. They didn't have a phone number on their website (or Yelp or Google), so I was nervous when we were going to be late, but I was relieved they texted us when we were 15 minutes late to ask if we still planned to show.

Here's everything we enjoyed and didn't enjoy as much ... + IPA beer-- really delicious $6 + oyster rockefeller-- didn't really taste the oyster and they were tiny + fries--- not crispy enough and could use a little more flavor/salt + lamb chops-- also just ok, small and only had 2 pieces with a small salad +butter lettuce cesar-- meh, nothing to really rave about + smashburger-- 3/5 we were told that the locals rave about their smashburger as one of the best in town buttttt idk about all that lol. I think what I didn't really like was the onion on it. Overall I would give Primrose another try. I love the neighborhood, local feel. It was very busy in here when we stopped by. I would try more of their wines and a couple other items on the menu.
