Continental Club Pulls into Union Station

All aboard for cocktails. Union Station just got a seriously stylish new stop.

Continental Club has pulled into the station’s soaring Beaux-Arts Main Hall, transforming its narrow, tucked-away rooms into a glamorous lounge inspired by vintage train cars and the Golden Age of Rail.

Think mahogany, brass, blue velvet and plenty of old-school DC grandeur… with gilded architecture and those iconic Legionnaire statues setting the scene.

The cocktails follow suit, riffing on Prohibition-era classics like the Bee’s Knees and Manhattan, alongside modern sips like the cucumber-basil Capitol Gimlet. (Our favorite: The Pullman Old-Fashioned)

And because every good train journey needs snacks: fried chicken biscuit bites, truffle popcorn, and railway-style hot dogs are on board.

Continental Club is open through the end of the year, so climb aboard while you can.
