    The Impossible Vegetarian Burger
    Victoria S.

    Very conveniently located in the heart of Georgetown. Space is cozy and cute with a casual and chill vibe. We were greeted warmly and our service was great. Water was replenished and modifications were able to be made to our orders. I had the impossible burger (one of the few vegan options). The patty was charred nicely and accompanied with some typical greens. I chose French fries as my accompanying side. The fries were extra crispy (may be beer battered). Portions were generous, prices were reasonable. Made for a nice dinner.

    The food was phenomenal and the service was great! There were also a few TVs to watch the games on, which made for a great atmosphere. I ordered the Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich (pictured) and it was amazing! The sauce had a great taste and the fries were Golden and Crispy! Mandy was my server/bartender, and she was exceptional! She was very welcoming and made the experience 5 Star!

    This burger should come with lettuce, tomato, and onions. However, they did not put the tomatoes or onions on my burger.

    I ordered the burger through a delivery service. It should have come with tomatoes and onions, but they left those off my burger. It was not good.

    Happy hour is for the bar only!! FYI It's in VERY small print on the sign. We came tired and hungry at 6:20 and there was no space for us at the bar so no happy hour prices for us at the booth. They were out of all local on tap which is annoying when you are a tourist wanting to try new things. The vibe is definitely a fun one. The Freebird chicken sandwich was pretty good. Chicken had amazing flavor and great sandwich fixings but the chicken was a bit tough. The sweet potato fries were yummy. Bathrooms are upstairs and had was stocked and clean. Fine to try. I wouldn't rush back for a second visit.

    Friendly staff! Outside patio sitting available. We had been walking around Georgetown and stopped here for the fresh juice and crepe's. Definitely recommend! Delicious and great quality!

    Easily my favorite spot on Georgetown for burgers, wings, fried calamari and beers. The burgers and fries were amazing. Simo, Zach, Zouhair. Sarra and Mandy our host/bartender were amazing! Big shout out to them for the amazing hospitality. Ignore the bad reviews. The staff were very attentive and the food is great as well. Will be back again!

    Beer Taps

    I don't like to write reviews but I couldn't resist writing about their beer taps. I honestly wanted to vomit when I saw them!! They've never been cleaned & it's a health issue. Please hire a professional beer line cleaner and have that taken care of immediately. You can ask your beer distributor for a recommendation!!!

    Great drinks at the bar. Very nice and professional staff.. Bar is very modern looking bar.

    Sage Chicken Brochette Salad
    Keilon L.

    I stumbled upon this after a 25 mile bike ride where my friend and I were just looking to get a midday beer and snack to celebrate. She's lived here longer than I and had visited an earlier iteration of this place years ago. We were greeted by a sweet bartender from Tunisia who was charming to speak with. I was able to practice some French and talk about culture while she poured us some less expensive than normal beers (already a plus). I also browsed the happy hour offerings during the week and it makes this out of the way location for me look real worthwhile. The food was good. I had the chicken brochette salad though i technically ordered the sandwich...language/listening translation issue. The salad was what I needed (a carbs break) and it was tasty, savory, but a little small on portion with the way that sautéed spinach cooks down. The flavors were good so no major complaints. I will say, that my friend and I noticed a weird dynamic with the demeanor of most every other person working in the establishment; seemingly between staff and management. I'll leave that at that though; draw your own conclusions. I'd pop back in here.

    Beer was good. No paper towels in bathroom though. Service was decent as well. Fried mozzarella is just mozzarella sticks.

I think they take reservations but we were able to grab a bar spot. Are drinks pricey? What do you think? It's a cocktail bar in DC. The drinks we tried were pretty tasty, even the mezcal one which I thought was a refreshing take. The wall shows some of the drinks on the menu and the ingredients/glass it comes in which I thought was a nice touch. Bartenders were friendly but not too chatty as they were super busy but you never waited long for a drink. The bourbon drink with the whipped honey was our favorite but the gin drink that was pink was also fantastic. For food I did try the buffalo chicken dip, pretty large and tasty (not too spicy) and loved the super crisp celery and the fritos. Clean, trendy bathrooms, nice vibes throughout the whole spot for pictures, great for a night cap or pre-dinner drink.

They don't take revelations and the place fills up fast. It's a very cute spot and feels so comfortable and fun. Our bartender was Gaylan and he was great--had great reccs, laughed with us a bit, all around great guy. The 'let me just say this' was so soo good! It tasted like a rainbow--just bright and with a really delicious after taste. I should have stopped at the rose but after my trying my friend's, i had to have one! We initially came for happy hour, but moved to the cocktail menu. The hh was a bit limited, but the drinks were priced overall pretty reasonably for the area. My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

As tourists, we had no idea how intimate the space was (or that reservations are recommended even just for drinks!), so we felt incredibly lucky when a staff member took pity on us and offered an outside table. I wish I could remember his name--he truly made the experience. He brought so much energy and personality, setting the tone for the whole night. After scanning the QR codes on the "records" for the menu, we each ordered something different. I went with the Take Me Out--a mix of mezcal, pineapple, amontillado, tamarind, mango, coconut, and lime--and I was not prepared for just how delicious it would be. It was layered, refreshing, and completely memorable. The presentation and attention to detail were next-level. My drink arrived with a perfectly round ice sphere and was paired with a sugared, vegan mango gummy that added a fun, unexpected twist. Our host also elevated several of the drinks tableside--adding custom tinctures and even creating a smiley face with drops of oil and basil in one cocktail nearby. It felt thoughtful, creative, and a little theatrical in the best way. We spent the evening outside, enjoying incredible drinks, easy conversation, and a warm night under the stars. It was one of those experiences that just sticks with you. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to D.C.--and Press Club Bar of Record will absolutely be on my list to revisit. Highly recommend, and maybe make a reservation!

It's a sexy basement vinyl den with additional outdoor seating, 10/10 unique cocktails, and incredible Japanese inspired small plates. Between two visits, we have tried 6 different drinks. They are named after songs and listed on the back of a fake vinyl cover. Each costs around $20, but with the mandatory tip and tax, it comes to around $26-28 per drink. The since I left you, though, is worth every penny. It is similar to an old fashioned but a little sweeter, with bourbon (makers mark), and while the menu says it also has miso, blackberry, cardamom, and cacao, I wouldn't say those flavors come through. But it is one of the best cocktails being served in DC right now. It is so good. They serve it with a cardamom tuile that is delicious as well. There is a lot of variety on here, but my number 2 is the Roses, a bright red gin based drink with a hint of fruitiness and a spicy kick in the back end. If you want something a little sweeter, the Takeover is a cognac based drink with coffee notes served with a mini donut. The food is exceptionally well seasoned and so flavorful. The fried chicken cannot be missed, and I love that you can get it in half or full size portions. The shrimp tempura might be even better. You get four large pieces that are super crisp and have a little orange sauce on them. Amazing. Our second visit we tried their chips and dip, and these potato chips alone are worth a visit. Large, crunchy, and served with a tasty ranch dip. I think 2 dishes is good for two people to fill you up, but add a third if hungry. The place is quite expensive, but they are worth it. For a date night, they are a great choice. Four drinks and three dishes shared between two people came to around $195, but as of this review, they are offering a $30 off deal if you pay through the app In Kind. Bonus points because the first time we came, they seated us maybe 5 minutes after our reservation time, and they gave us a free glass of cava. Top notch customer service right there

The food and drink here are both excellent and absolutely worth coming for. They serve up great, high-quality cocktails, and I also ordered the cheeseburger, which was really juicy and beautifully cooked. The space itself is famous for having political caricature artwork all over the restaurant, and they even give you fun caricature coasters that you can take home with you as a souvenir. Because it's a popular underground spot, it can definitely get incredibly busy and cramped in there. I've been multiple times, and almost every single time it is tough to find a spot to sit. However, I did come once during an off-peak time, right in the middle of the week around 1:00 PM for lunch--and it wasn't to busy, so we were easily able to just sit right at the bar.  I would definitely recommend checking this place out! While the tight crowds can make it a bit tough on a busy week day or weekend night, it is completely worth experiencing at least once for the great drinks, good food, and unique atmosphere.
