Busboys and Poets is a community gathering place. First established in 2005, Busboys and Poets was created by owner Anas "Andy" Shallal, an Iraqi-American artist, activist and restaurateur. After opening the flagship location at 14th and V Streets, NW (Washington, DC), the neighboring residents and the progressive community embraced Busboys, especially activists opposed to the Iraq War. Busboys and Poets is now located in four distinctive neighborhoods in the Washington Metropolitan area and is a community resource for artists, activists, writers, thinkers and dreamers. Busboys and Poets Tribal Statement:Busboys and Poets is a community where racial and cultural connections are consciously uplifted...a place to take a deliberate pause and feed your mind, body and soul...a space for art, culture and politics to intentionally collide...we believe that by creating such a space we can inspire social change and begin to transform our community and the world. Busboys and Poets is a gathering space unlike any other, and events are among the things we do best! Each of our restaurants feature a unique performance space with its own stage, lighting, projection and sound equipment. In addition to in-house series (events produced exclusively by Busboys and Poets) and a number of weekly and monthly poetry programs, we also host an exciting variety of functions ranging from meetings, private receptions and happy hours to public programming, mostly free of charge or at an affordable admission cover (usually $5 or under). There is plenty of event-planning information such as room fees, event menus, and policies on our website, so be sure to check it out and see how we plan events!
