Do they do baby showers?

Thank you for your interest in Lyon Park, a lovely place for your special event. Rental rates are based on the time you occupy the building, and very reasonable because we are a do-it-yourself venue (or you can hire our staff).…

Love, love, love this place!! My now husband And I celebrated our wedding reception in April at…read moreClarendon Ballroom and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. From day one Sandra made us feel at ease. She wanted to make us happy. She was helpful and understanding at every stage in the process. She responded swiftly to every question and was very flexible with all our choices. Clarendon ballroom provides tables, chairs, and linens and has their own onsite caterer. Everything was beautifully done. The food was to die for!! We had cocktail hour on the rooftop and had an amazing assortment of food. Anti pasta for the Italians lots of passed appetizers and our favorite Korean chicken served in Chinese food boxes!! Katia managed the event the night of and the service was impeccable. Our main courses were delicious and we are told from guests that had the filet mignon it could be cut with a butter knife. One of our guests runs a catering company out of state and stated this was the best food he ever had! A nice touch is they include a doorman to make sure the Clarendon bar hoppers don't wedding crash on your private event. I could go on and on! I highly recommend Clarendon Ballroom!! Do not hesitate to go with Clarendon Ballroom for all your wedding/big event reception needs!

OH GOD. Writing a review of this joint is proof I've been here. No bueno. Sigh... oh well, here we…read morego. As a venue used for private events it's a solid 4 stars. Great wait staff, friendly bartenders and the food es muy bueno. Oh wait, I mean, the food is very good. Sorry, living in Columbia Pike as brought out the Spanish. Anyway, private venues - YES. Great place to book! I'd only suggest they do a better job of keeping the riff raff non private event goers out. Also, offer more seating. As for a regular Friday or Saturday night...errr, em, uh... it's okay. If you're looking for a popp'd collar yuppie than this is the place to go. And unlike the creepy old mans that hang out at places like K street or Park, the token old mans here are BEYOND creepy. They'll walk up to you and touch your face or proposition you like a hooker. Aside from creepy old dude, the average age for patrons here would be 23 and most of the hail from the suburbs because they're too broke to drive into DC. This, however, is just an observation. But CB gets an extra star for providing great entertainment. Watching said popp'd collar jagoffs get kicked out is pure comedy! The last time I went (which was this past Friday) they had a rock cover band which sucked. Cover was $10 which wasn't worth it, and the line for my bottle water took 10 minutes. They also have a room downstairs that had hip hop/mashups, etc but the room was so dark I was running into people. Again, no bueno. I guess it's a hit or miss experience. I'll most likely go again but only if sister wife drags me.

I'm giving this super-modest community center a whopping 5 STARS. If I could give it a 10, I…read morereally would! It's totally old-school and that's why I like it. I used to work in the fitness industry for well over 10 years. In my former career, I was as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor, and also part of the fitness management team. I've been to facilities all over the USA, including South America, Europe and the Caribbean. I have quite the insight about fitness equipment, brands, what motivates people, and so forth. My point is, this modest facility has everything one could possibly need, but without all the overly- pretentious- unecessary-fluff and without the weirdos. They offer plenty of cardio options. The ellipticals were modern, in perfect condition, smooth and well maintained. Treadmills were smooth. Recumbent bikes and spin bikes were available. As I was checking in on yelp, there was a Spin class in progress. Folks were respectful on the indoor track. Interactive sports was a whole vibe! There were several pick-up basketball games happening, like 2 or 3 going on. And folks were talking plenty of smack! I was low-key watching the basketball drama as I was walk-jogging around the indoor track. Totally entertaining and hilarious. It was awesome! 2 Pickleball games were happening as well as volleyball games. In another room there was also a bunch of tables, I think it was a ping-pong room...?? They also offer an indoor skate night. I have no idea what that means or when it happens, lol!! I just saw a bunch of signs for skate rental, and a bunch of racks which housed thick plastic covers for the floor, I guess to make it smooth for indoor skating?? They have a machine weights circuit, a free weight/squat and leg press room, another weight room with dumbbells and other free weight exercise machines. There was an area for group-ex classes, so lighter dumbbells, steps, stretch mats, bands, weighted bars. I used this area to use the hand-held weights, cool down and stretch. And plenty of space on the side of the indoor track to do your own thing. I saw folks practicing volleyball, pickleball, and just independent exercises. This "community center" truly has it all and seriously, competitively compares to other fitness facilities in the area. It may not be as sleek, posh, and modern as your overly-priced $80 - $200 per month facilities, and lacks towel service, steam room, sauna, and locker rooms. However, the equipment is the same! And you have an indoor track, which most gyms do not offer and plenty of social and interactive sports. I came on a Wednesday evening after work, and it was not overly crowded inside. Outside parking was a pinch tricky, but I was able to secure a spot. I enjoyed working out here. I would like to come here once or twice per month, to offset the monotony of my current X-Sport, recently bought out by LA Fitness gym membership that has a lot of run-down, broken equipment for months without repair. It reminds me of going to the campus gym in my college years. Very nostalgic! Anyways...highly recommend.

This facility works for indoor track events. That's one major part of this center. It is strange…read morethat this is connected to a couple schools. There's a community center. I'll say it definitely needs to be upgraded. Time is back in the day there, with outdated options for especially young folks. There is good parking here. Before you laugh, Arlington is known for this being a major challenge. For once you can pull in, without a meter or parallel parking! There's some okay basketball hoops here. Also little kids will enjoy the climbing and playground equipment. This is a family friendly place. My hope is they will update it in the near term.
