    Press Club was phenomenal! From the drinks, to the food, and the service, everything was such a vibe. The Wagyu skewers are a must!

    This was my fourth or fifth trip to the best bar in my neighborhood (arguably in the city, but I love being able to walk in sometimes), and the first guest/special event. Everything was as good as their standard menu, and with the camaraderie between those who knew the guest almost made the ambiance better! Incredible fried chicken (also great on the regular menu), and our party had 3 of the 4 specials - ALL amazing, especially the Last Night in Kyoto (IIRC) with gin. The party of 3 all finished up with a round of those, and are still talking about it.

    Tucked away in the heart of Washington, DC, Press Club is the definition of cute and chic. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels effortlessly stylish—warm lighting, plush seating, and a vibe that feels both upscale and welcoming. We came to try their new tasting menu, which features four expertly crafted cocktails paired with four small bites, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. Each drink was not only visually stunning but layered with thoughtful flavors—clearly made by a team that knows their craft. The pairings were just as impressive: inventive, flavorful, and perfectly portioned to complement the cocktails without overwhelming them.

    Incredible service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. We sat in a lounge seat and were quickly served as we finished each drink. I left for the bathroom and when I came back, a personalized birthday card was at the table for me that my husband watched a server type on their typewriter. Super cute touch!
