Celebrate the occasion with an unforgettable private dinner at The Fountain Inn, a historic tavern known for exceptional food, fine wines, and thoughtfully crafted spirits. Tucked into a cozy and intimate space, your group can gather for a lively evening of incredible flavors, great conversation, and perfectly paired drinks.

It’s the perfect setting to toast the bride or groom-to-be while enjoying a warm, relaxed atmosphere that feels both special and memorable.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Customized cocktail and spirits list (did someone say bachelorette themed cocktails)

  • It's your private space, you dictate the vibes! Cozy and chill, or fun and flirty?

  • We are totally flexible to build the ideal experience for you

About this experience partner:

Founded in 1783 by John Suter, The Fountain Inn (a.k.a. perhaps THE most important tavern in American history) was the first stop for stagecoaches in Georgetown and therefore a destination for common folk and presidents alike. While there is some mystery surrounding the precise location of the tavern itself, we do know that several notable events took place at The Fountain Inn (like the designing of the District of Columbia, and the presidential debate between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in 1800). Chef Greg Heitzig brings creativity, precision, and a deep respect for seasonal ingredients to every dish at The Fountain Inn. His menus combine refined technique with bold, comforting flavors, creating a dining experience that feels both elevated and warmly tavern-inspired.

Additional information:

Our events manager is pretty cool and will definitely help you create a sick event.
