THRōW Social DC

I went to throw a social last night for an event, and everyone that I encountered who worked there was extremely rude and unaccommodating. I waited in a long line to get to the bathroom and when I went to the bathroom, it was a complete mess and disgusting. One of the workers then came into the bathroom and rudely told me to get out so that it could be cleaned although I had just gotten in the restroom after standing in the long line. A little bit of kindness and customer service could go a long way. No one wants to spend their money and go out just to be treated like crap.

Went on a Sunday night around 9:30 the place was definitely pretty empty, but we had a great time. The music was great and the bartender made my Skinny Margarita perf. What more could a girl ask for? Won a couple rounds of connect 4 and Jenga! Will be back.

Horrible experience. I came with 3 of my friends from Chicago to show them go go music for the first time and backyard was playing that night. The online flyer clearly said $30 entry before 10 pm. Ok we get there at 9:40, and we’re told doors don’t open til 10 and to go to nearby bar and wait. So fine we did that. Came back a little later, and these clowns in the front charged us double, $60 a piece! Then were willing to drop it to $50 a piece. Clearly they were just trying to hustle extra money from us. It was pretty disrespectful and a dumb move on their part because instead of getting some entry fee and our business, we left and they got zero. i hope backyard knows this kinda nonsense goes on cuz it’s bad look especially for out of towners interested in gogo music. Last time at another venue this did not happen.

I went on a Friday expecting live music, but the band had canceled, and no one notified guests. When I asked for a menu to purchase a drink, the price I was charged was different from what was listed. When I questioned it, the bartender was extremely rude—even though the bar was empty except for me and my guest. He dismissed me by saying the “prices changed” and then walked off without even helping me complete my payment.

The other bartender clearly didn’t want to serve me because she wouldn’t receive the tip from my order. When I brought this up with the manager, I was told they’re under new management, prices went up, and the menus are outdated.

This was a very disappointing experience—misleading pricing, poor communication, and unprofessional staff.

Went when they first opened a few years back, vibe is definitely not the same.

Drinks and bartender were on point but had to flag/chase our table hostess each time. Would walk off and disappear but we would see a seperate hostess come back several times in between. We wish we would have had the other hostess. Didn’t catch her name but thanked her for her help by the end of our time, even though we hadn’t officially been her table! Seemed our original hostess was new or overwhelmed.

Food was mid. Spinach dip seemed to be frozen prior to and churros were stale.

Also, not directly anyone’s fault but elevator was out. Would have gone elsewhere if known before.

Management, music, and decor excellent but service was slow, inattentive and awful.

My sister booked at this establishment for her birthday, paying in advance for a cabana, food & drinks. The day before, she called to confirm whether the cover charge would be waived and was told by an employee that it would be.

When we arrived, we were still charged a cover fee and no one on staff was willing to help or honor the information we were given. After spending over $400 plus here, it’s unacceptable that management chose to be extremely greedy instead of making it right.

This is not just poor customer service, it’s a failure in basic business integrity. If the staff can’t give consistent answers or follow through on what they promise, how can patrons trust them? I hope they take this as a serious reminder to train their employees properly and to honor their word in the future.

It was a great experience! I love every moment of it! Here’s the kicker for me! Hubby and I went axe throwing and then I had an extra charge at the end of the night which was 22% gratuity added. Mind you, they don’t inform customers, but insinuate it’s noted on the menu as someone should recognized. We are there to have fun to order drinks and food, not order gratuity. Nobody looks at a menu to look for gratuity. We should be informed as customers. Thats proper customer service. As a former customer service rep, and food worker, server and bartender, I believe that customers should be made aware of gratuity and surcharges so that staff and the higher ups wont waste time on customer resolution charges. 4 stars from me. Next time I will know that versus me finding out from a phone call. I don’t look at menu to order gratuity, but food and drinks! Kudos!
