Dear Guests,

In light of the recent declaration by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Monkey Joe’s Dulles will remain closed until such orders are lifted.

Although our business may be temporarily closed, we recently opened our space to serve as a food and hygiene distribution center for a local social services organization based in Herndon. We provided those economically impacted by the COVID-19 free pizzas. We are in it together to flatten the curve, support our local community, and look forward to partnering up with other local organizations.

See you soon in the jungle!

Dear Guests,

After reviewing the latest CDC, State and County health guidelines, Monkey Joe’s Dulles will temporarily cease operations from March 16 until March 30th.

While this decision was difficult to make due to the fact that our employees rely on us for their livelihood, it is the right decision. We will continue to support them in any way we can.

For parties scheduled between March 21-April 30th, please contact [email protected] if our party manager has not yet contacted you.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support and patronage. We look forward to seeing you in the jungle soon!
