Press Club is a record bar and cocktail lounge with a focus on the curation of guest experience and providing maximum levels of hospitality. The name is an homage to DC while also evoking the pressing of records and the ingredients used to craft our cocktails.

Our reservations are exclusively for our Play List Experience, a four course cocktail flight paired with small bites from our kitchen.

To enjoy our a la carte cocktails and Izakaya bites, we welcome you on a first come, first serve basis.

Excellent staff that is warm and welcoming, Fantastic selection of creative cocktails for this special evening and wonderful food selections to accompany the cocktails, music was of a great range and perfect as not excessively loud as in most places so one could have a conversation with the staff and fellow guests. Bravo overall!

Top tier can't wait to go back, ribeye was excellent , mushroom tempura was out of this world and the chicken karrage was also incredible. Can't wait to go back and try the blooming onion, it was unfortunately sold out the night I was there. Will be returning very soon !

Went here for a date and the atmosphere was perfect sort of like a speakeasy. There are shared tables but enough space for you to have privacy. Definitely going back again multiple times.

Press Club DC is a fantastic spot for a splurge-worthy date night! The vibe is incredible, with vinyl records creating a perfect ambiance. The cocktails were expertly crafted and the bites were phenomenal. While the tab was on the expensive side, the service and experience were well worth it for a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back for another treat!

I recommend the tasting menu. The drinks were exquisite and the bites so well thought out, pairing perfectly. The music taste here is next level. They pay attention to the vibe, time of day, etc. Always playing just the right vinyl for the moment.

This place has all the ingredients to be something special. While I hesitate to go all in on any new place I will be back throughout 2025 to check in.
