Best Cocktail Bars in Petworth

Wonderful place, the food was amazing! We got the short ribs and grilled shrimp and both were really good. I did think the short ribs weren’t very filling compared to the shrimp though. The presentation was really good and the atmosphere was wonderful. I also really enjoyed the drinks. I would totally go again, just would probably eat at the speakeasy below for the quieter more intimate vibes.

Both cocktails were hands down incredible, and the service was expert. Vibes were witchy and sexy. Usually if drinks are showy (smoke and fire) I’ve found the showiness comes at the expense of good flavor - not the case at Alchemist! Here you get the whole experience, plus incredible flavor. It was quite expensive. So really only a one to maybe two cocktails per visit situation. But will absolutely be coming back.

This was our first time at Press Club and it was awesome! From the time we were greeted to served everyone was friendly and welcoming. Music, vibes, drinks and food all impressed. I am looking forward to going back.

It was my first time there, very cool ambiance and decor.

Incredible, one of our all time favorite DC spots.
