A record bar meets cocktail lounge in a converted Dupont Circle townhouse, Press Club blends the aesthetics of a 1970s listening room with a 1990s record shop and a thoroughly modern drinks programme. Located on 19th Street NW, it offers vinyl-forward evenings where the playlist is as curated as the menu — guests can pull records from the shelves while sipping gin-and-tonic riffs and mezcal highballs. The space is warm, dimly lit, and deliberately analogue in an era of screens. Weeknight crowds skew industry; weekends pack the room to the door. A bar that understands atmosphere is not decoration — it is the entire proposition.
