When Peter Pflug, owner of the wildly popular Clarendon Grill, purchased the old carpet warehouse on Wilson Boulevard, he had a vision. He wanted to turn the 20,000 square feet of space into an elegant ballroom modeled after the lavish ballrooms of the Big Band era. He wanted a place large enough to host charity events and private parties, but also a place that could serve as a weekend live-music spot, and even a place where you could take swing dancing lessons. One million dollars later, the Clarendon Ballroom's debut met with instant success.
This stunning, smoke-free interior features endless hardwood floors, impressive white archways, elegant art deco touches (like a gold-leaf pressed-tin ceiling) and an oversized bar that stretches forever. A rooftop terrace (where smoking is permitted) with another large bar is open in balmy weather, and draws decent-sized crowds on summer Wednesday nights. The entertainment at Clarendon Ballroom is divided up strategically to cover all possible clientele interests, with certain evenings reserved for live music and DJs, others for special events, and still others for swing dancing. Check the web site calendar for details.

Veronica C Vogue - 07/08/2009I was there twice since two years ago (with friends) and Feb. 14, Sat. night. (myself) The people who work there are nice to me. I noticed that ************ on me that I'm little afraid of guys. Yes, I had a good time on basement floor, wonderful. Someday, I will be there again once a year.

ODUrdh2k - 06/06/2008If you like top ten
sharoneditha - 08/26/2007If you like top ten you'll like dj rene, if you expect him to have any actual knowledge of music you'll be sorely disappointed, he only knows top ten, and very little of that, I can understand going with what's safe, but not even knowing anything about real music is a little silly for a person claiming to be a dj.
Great club

Lots of fun. The roof top deck makes it one of the best places to hang out.
