What a great addition to DC nightlife! The service was top notch - attentive, personable, but not overbearing. The drinks were amazzzzzzing - boozy, well balanced, and not too sweet. The atmosphere was intimate and sexy. I love that you can have actual conversations without yelling over the music. This would be a great date spot! The best part is the personalized note they left for us and the complimentary welcome cocktail!

Loved our first visit to Press Club. We made a reservation, which is key. The bar is small and intimate so fills quickly. There is about a 90 min time limit on your visit.

The food was fantastic. Loved the Katsu Sando- it had a bit of a wasabi or horseradish kick. The karagge and marinated cucumbers were also great.

I think we drank about 1/2 the menu, and loved everything. We will be back to tackle the other cocktails soon! Cocktails were high quality and ranged from $19-23.

We had an incredible experience on our first (of many) visit to Press Club. From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly! We did the “playlist” which consisted of four cocktails paired with four tasting bites. Best. Experience. Ever. The bartenders explained the cocktails so well and the chef came out and explained each dish and how/why it would complement the drink. The music and atmosphere were the perfect compliment to make it all such a wonderful experience. Will be going back often, not least of which because I’m dying to try the bloomin onion with caviar 👀

Not sure I’ve ever experienced customer service like this at any other lounge or bar, ever. At press club, the service is absolutely unmatched. The owner and staff  made sure our experience was stellar from start to finish. We reserved the flight package and had a personal explanation for everything that came out to our table. We got details on how the drinks came about and stories behind the ingredients. A really cool experience. The environment is incredibly warm and inviting, you’ll truly feel welcome the moment you walk in. It is a cozy, but trendy space with a unique and modern decor that plays great records during your stay. We were celebrating a birthday during our visit and their entire team went out of their way to acknowledge our celebrating. The drinks and food were wonderful. I even got to type on the typewriter leaving us with a keepsake! Can’t say enough about how great of a night we had here. Highly recommend it!
