The Main Kitchen

SPACE 01

The Main Kitchen

The full teaching kitchen with six professional worktables, induction hobs, and everything you need for a hands-on cooking event. This is where our classes run — and where private events come alive when everyone is cooking together.

The Dining Room

SPACE 02

The Dining Room

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room is where every Skillette class ends — sitting down to eat what you made. For private events it works as a standalone dining space, with open kitchen views and the smell of what's been cooking all evening.

The Full Venue

SPACE 03

The Full Venue

Kitchen and dining room combined — the entire Skillette space is yours. Ideal for larger events, brand activations, or evenings where you want people to move freely between cooking and eating. Our largest and most flexible configuration.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Posters, prints and branded objects designed in-house. Things you'd want in your kitchen, not your junk drawer.

PRIVATE EVENTS

There are a lot of event spaces in Georgetown.
Here's why this one is different.

A real professional kitchen

Not a domestic kitchen dressed up. Six professional induction stations, chef-grade ovens, and every tool your group needs. Guests who love to cook immediately feel it.

Access to our resident chefs

Any of our three resident chefs can be part of your event — leading the cooking, teaching a technique, or simply being present as your culinary guide for the evening.

Georgetown, Washington DC

A 5-minute walk from the waterfront. Accessible, safe, and in one of DC's most beautiful neighborhoods. Parking nearby. Metro-accessible with a short walk.

Completely private hire

When you hire Skillette, the whole space is yours. No other events, no shared spaces, no strangers. Your event is the only thing happening that evening.

Fully customizable experience

Menu, format, pace, program — everything is agreed in advance. We don't run the same event twice. If you have a specific idea, we'll tell you honestly if it works and how to make it better.

Wine & beverage service

We curate a wine list for every event, or work with your own selection. Full bar setup available. We handle glassware, service, and responsible alcohol management throughout.
