2 years agoInside a 1927 downtown D.C. building surrounded by deep American history is the National Press Club started in 1908 across the street from its current building. Once only open to white male journalists, the club now welcomes all through membership and public events. It's also a popular wedding venue. I went for a free screening of a documentary film by The Washington Post Opinions section and Ray Whitehouse on a Monday evening. Here's my experience: 1) Space: With a rich legacy, it screams old-school Washington, D.C. from the dated carpet to the media tokens on the walls from statues honoring journalists to old newspaper clippings. The elevators are regal and the bar wooden. There are several meeting rooms and one larger room for their main speaking and panel events. Off from the bar is a dining room with stunning views of the Willard Hotel and Washington Monument. There are plenty of restrooms throughout the floors (the 13th and 14th floors of the building) 2) Parking: For evening events, there's usually street parking for a few dollars along F Street NW. 3) Location: There are plenty of restaurants nearby that stay open through dinner from District Taco to Rice Bar.

4 months agoThe National Press Club is an amazing place for journalists. Besides its incredible history (it has hosted every U.S. President from Theodore Roosevelt onwards), it remains a vibrant place “where news happens.” Working journalists like myself who are members have access to the Coub’s restaurants, lounges, workspaces, conference facilities and even its weight room and workout facilities. I highly recommend the Club for all prospective, working and retired journalists.

11 months agoA professional club and home of DC journalists. Members are happy to be part of. It is located at the top of the National Press building where mostly all national and international networks have their Washington bureaus.

2 weeks agoHome of working professional journalists in a photo-lined museum to recent and distant-past newsmakers. Members-only but many hosted events that provide access to non-members.
