About Press Club

Located in the Historic Dupont Circle neighborhood, Press Club is a new record bar and cocktail lounge from the team of Will Patton, Devin Kennedy and Hive Hospitality. With the vibes of a 70s cocktail lounge and aesthetics of a 90s record shop, Press Club will bring a unique imbibing experience. The name is an homage to DC, a reference to the iconic National Press Club, while also evoking the pressing of the records to be played, and of the ingredients used to craft exquisitely balanced cocktails.

Taking inspiration from the A & B sides of a record, Press Club will offer two congruent experiences. For guests who want the comfort of the classics, we will offer our a la carte “Track List” menu: a ten to twelve cocktail menu that rotates biannually featuring our favorite spirits and techniques. For those guests seeking out a deep-cut, or more curated experience, we will offer our “Play List” menu: a bimonthly rotating four cocktail flight highlighting more seasonal ingredients, presented tableside with the supplemental bites.
