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.

Great venue

Cool arrival

Great sound, clean bathrooms, super nice crew, close parking. Been a while since I've had such an all around prefect night in DC

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.

If we can't have Gypsy Sally's anymore, at least there is Pearl Street Warehouse! It's a fun place to see some great music!

Cool, intimate venue to catch great acts

Went to see Eddie 9V last night. I saw him last July ant Pearl Street, and he put on an amazing show. Last night his performance was very disappointing. He seemed out of it, and his interactions with other musicians and crowd seemed forced. They only had one keyboard player while in July they had two, and it was so fun watching them interact with each other and with Eddie. I don’t know if he is touring too much or what else is going on with him. He is ann extraordinarily talented musician, and it was hard to watch him struggle through this performance. On top of it all, the stage lights weren’t working properly, so much of the stage was in shadows. The staff is unfriendly and at times rude.
Love the chill divebar atmosphere and great live music.

Great sound system for the live music, we attended for a private event. Had a bourbon and wine tasting followed by a work convention welcome event with live entertainment. Both the tasting event and the welcome event were well done. The staff at Pearl Street really serve a nice cocktail, we enjoyed the Grapefruit Crushes very much. But the standout was the music. Really great band, and the sound was perfectly managed with great accoustics, heavy bass, and clear volume allowed you to still converse while enjoying the music fully. Dance floor was jamming. Thanks for a great time. Would absolutely recommend and go again.

My wife and I attended the JRAD concert at The Anthem and came here to the after party to see The Dancing Bears, and had an absolutely lovely time!

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 trueI 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.

Amazing venue for a show, food was ok. Solid drink selection. burger and fries were good, wings were lower quality and meh.
