Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood: Downtown Washington, near I Street and 18th Street NW

Taberna del Alabardero hosts private dinners, receptions and corporate events for 10 to 200 guests at 1776 I Street NW in Washington, D.C. The restaurant has three private rooms, several semiprivate areas and a full buyout option.

Seminars and company events

The private rooms suit executive dinners, client lunches, board gatherings and team celebrations. Amalur seats 10, which fits a leadership table. Aranjuez seats 24 or takes 30 standing, and La Granja seats 48 or takes 60 standing. A reservation through the events team is required for any party of more than 10 guests.

For a larger company event, the restaurant can be taken over in part or in full. A partial buyout takes 51 to 85 guests seated or 70 to 90 standing, and a full buyout takes 86 to 162 seated or 100 to 200 standing.

Weddings and receptions

The events pages list receptions, cocktail parties and celebrations among the formats. For a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner, La Granja or a buyout are the sizes to discuss. Ceremony arrangements are not described on the pages read, so ask the team before you plan one.

Rooms and capacities

Amalur seats 10. Aranjuez seats 24 or 30 standing. La Granja seats 48 or 60 standing.

The semiprivate areas are Río Frío Uno and Río Frío Dos, each seating 30 or taking 40 standing, and El Patio, an outdoor space for 30 seated or 60 standing, weather permitting. The bar is not private and holds 15 seated or 20 standing.

These figures help an organiser pick quickly: a leadership dinner, a client table or a full reception each have a matching room.

Catering

The restaurant serves its own Spanish menu. The site also lists catering as a service and asks for the delivery address when you request it, but it gives no menu details. Ask the events team for sample menus and for dietary options.

Each room has a stated seated and standing figure, so ask which one applies to your format before you send guest numbers to the team.
