We ended up being late for our reservation and everyone was so incredibly nice and accommodating that it made our experience there all the more special. From the Gentleman at the door to the waitress going above and beyond, i cannot recommend this place more. The vibe was on point and the atmosphere was electric. Looking forward to going again and spending more time there. Thanks guys.

Press Club Cocktail Bar is a tiny, hip spot located in DuPont that requires reservations and may still require waiting due to its popularity. The atmosphere is intimate with low lighting, brass chatter, and music, featuring a wall of records, a large shaking bar, and cozy seating. The staff is attentive, often serving as both DJ and waiter, and the menus are presented on the back of LP sleeves, offering Asian-inspired flavors in their cocktails.
The cocktails are well-crafted and balanced, with options such as the Paris Tokyo, French Waltz, Desperado, and Summer in November, all made with various bases like rum, vodka, and whiskey. Prices are around $20 per drink. The food menu features small Japanese-inspired dishes, with the chicken karage being a favorite.
Reviews highlight the exceptional cocktails and service, with staff members like Anna and Devin going above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. The atmosphere is described as cozy, with a "listening room" vibe, making it an ideal location for dates or small groups.
The menu offers a variety of tasty options, and the knowledgeable staff can help customers find the perfect drink for their tastes. Walk-ins may be difficult unless arriving right at 5 PM or after 9 PM, but additional outdoor seating will be available in warmer weather.
