Busboys and Poets Takoma, 235 Carroll St NW, Washington DC, DC, USPlease join us for our first social gathering of 2026!
This month, we'll be gathering at Busboys and Poets, Takoma Park.
Located only a short walk from the Takoma Park metro, Busboys and Poets is a restaurant, bar, bookstore and community gathering place. First established in 2005, Busboys and Poets was founded by owner Andy Shallal (@andyshallal), an artist, activist, and restaurateur. After opening the flagship location at 14th and V Streets, NW DC, the neighboring residents, and the progressive community embraced Busboys and Poets, particularly activists opposed to the Iraq War. Busboys and Poets is now located in nine distinctive neighborhoods in the Washington D.C Metropolitan and Baltimore areas. Busboys and Poets is a cultural hub for artists, activists, writers, thinkers, and dreamers.
This is a new venue for our meetups, so please note that all accessibility information was gathered over the phone and has not been verified in person as of yet.
