Accessible bathrooms are on the first floor. Please be aware that noise levels on the second floor will be moderate - the second floor overlooks the first floor, and there is not much in the way of sound buffering.* Food and Drink - [http://boardroomdc.com/drinks/ Alcoholic] and non-alcoholic drinks are available to purchase in the venue; however, you will need to bring your own food! The Board Room has some recommendations for a few local restaurants that deliver on their website. The venue will be handling checks separately, so no need to worry about splitting bills.* Children - The Board Room is a 21 and over establishment. I asked for clarification about babies (in case one of you has one in tow) and got a written confirmation that they will allow for babies at the gathering. Unfortunately, outside of that, we cannot admit children to the venue. If you plan to bring something to play or share, please sign up below!
