"The Venue" is the 6th episode of the fifth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 96th overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Matt Lawton and directed by Cortney Carrillo. It aired on Fox in the United States on November 14, 2017.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, Jake and Amy compete to get a venue to hold the wedding but find that The Vulture already reserved it for his wedding and they orchestrate to disrupt his possibilities. Meanwhile, Boyle and Rosa investigate the disappearance of Sergeant Peanut Butter while Terry prepares a party for someone he accidentally offended.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.65 million household viewers and gained a 0.6/2 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast's performances although some storylines received more criticism.
In the cold open, Rosa shows off various ways to throw doughnut holes into Jake's mouth. Jake misses the last one she tosses, but it ends up getting caught by Scully on the street.
Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) announce that they have set a date for the wedding: May 2018 and work on getting a specific venue. However, they're notified that their venue has been taken by The Vulture (Dean Winters), who is marrying a woman named Jean Munhroe (Maria Thayer) on that date.
Jake and Amy find that Jean is a kind charity worker who is inheriting a large sum of money and decide to catch The Vulture cheating on her. They pretend to be a woman on a dating app, to whom The Vulture sends pictures of his penis. They confront him about it, to which he insists he regrets, claiming that he has changed and is deeply in love with her. He promises to give them the venue if they remain quiet. Despite this, after learning how much he's lied to her about his character, they tell the truth to Jean, who dumps The Vulture. Jake and Amy decide to hold an after-party at the venue after The Vulture uses it for a wrestling match.
Meanwhile, Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) investigate the disappearance of Sergeant Peanut Butter, the horse that overshadowed Boyle's Medal of Valor presentation. They find him in a warehouse by a man who flees by setting it on fire. Boyle manages to get the horse out in time but the media falsely gives credit to Peanut Butter, much to his dismay. Rosa eventually decides to leak video evidence online so Boyle could be properly credited. Also, Holt (Andre Braugher) tries to convince Terry (Terry Crews) to be less image-conscious after Terry begins to prepare a party for a cop he accidentally offended. After making the preparations, Terry takes Holt's advice and decides to throw the party for Boyle to celebrate him rescuing Sergeant Peanut Butter instead.
