Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you have an age restriction for entry?
We are 21 and over only, no exceptions, during our normal business hours. Our evening shows & brunches are created for adults 21 and over and may contain adult humor and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. However, during our Family Day Events (please see calendar) our show will be All Ages and G-rated. Please note that we can only accept the following (unexpired) forms of identification: state-issued driver’s license, state-issued ID card, passport, green card, and government-issued ID (e.g. military).
2. When are you open?
We are open for business Monday to Saturday. Doors open at 7 pm every evening, and show starts at 8pm. Monday-Wednesday we rock until 11 pm, Thursday until 12 am, and Friday-Saturday until 1 am. We are open at least one Sunday afternoon a month for a Boozy Brunch show and often on holiday weekends we host a Sunday evening show. We may, on occasion, be closed for private events. Please call us or check our calendar prior to planning a visit to see availability. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 7 pm.
3. If I don’t make a booking or if you’re sold out of seats, can I still come to Bobby McKey’s?
You don’t have to buy a seat to enjoy our show. Standing room is usually available in the bar areas. Please be advised that our box office is cashless & you must use a CC to pay for your admittance.
4. When should I arrive if I have a pre-booked seat?
Please plan to arrive by 7 pm when doors open. The show begins at 8 pm. If your party has not checked in by 8 pm at the latest, we reserve the right to resell your seats to walk-in guests.
5. Do you charge automatic gratuity or food and drink minimums?
If you walk out on your tab, an 18% service charge will be assessed to your credit card. We do not charge minimums on food or drinks.
6. Do you have a dress code?
Bobby McKey’s has a casual atmosphere, so you can wear jeans or shorts when it’s nice outside. Shirt and shoes must be worn at all times.
7. I’d like to be seated with my friends. Can you make sure we are all together?
The best way to make sure you and your friends are seated together is to purchase seats with one transaction. However, you can each buy individual tickets and let us know you want to join friends (or start a party) by writing your party’s name in the space provided during the booking process. Please make sure you are all buying the same seating option.
8. What discounts are available?
We are proud to offer free cover charge to our armed forces and first responders on Fridays. If you are (or were) in the military, police, or first responders, present your ID at the door to get in for free for standing room only. Spouses qualify as well, with proof of ID! We will also give you 20% off your food and drink tab on Fridays! Seats must be purchased at full price, however, you still get the 20% discount off food and drinks.
9. What are the best places in the D.C. area to celebrate a Birthday Party?
Bobby McKey’s is one of the top venues to host a party in the D.C. area. We are great for 21st Birthdays, 30th Birthday parties, and even 70th parties. No age is too young or too old, and we bring the energy to every party. Oh, and did we mention Birthday Cake Shots! And if you have a young one celebrating a Birthday, please check out our monthly all-ages shows. Buy tickets now for a Birthday Party you’ll never forget.
10. I received some free admission passes. Can I use these towards the payment for my seats?
Free admission passes are for standing room only in the bar areas and cannot be used to discount seat prices.
