Howard Homecoming | Grown Folks Social 30+ (Marvin’s Reunion)

30+ ENERGY. NO STUDENT ID REQUIRED.

Who says the grown folks can’t have a little Homecoming fun too!

When that October air gets chilly, meet us on the heated rooftop at ESL | Shaw, just minutes from Howard’s Yard and conveniently located near the Mount Vernon Square Metro station, with two indoor levels to keep the party going. Expect good music, soul food, cocktails, karaoke, and the kind of DC energy grown folks appreciate.

Remember leaving the Yard, heading down Georgia Avenue toward 14th & U, already knowing where the evening was taking you?

Marvin! Or as we called it… Marvin’s.

We’re bringing back that spirit with Marvin’s bartenders and DJs, presented by the same ownership behind Marvin’s, Patty Boom Boom, and ESL.

Whether you remember those nights or simply want a Homecoming experience geared toward the 30+ crowd, you’re welcome here. No HBCU degree or Marvin’s history required.
