REVIEWS

"An Unmatched Vibe in DC!"

From the moment we walked in, 1942 Lounge had the perfect energy — smooth music, beautiful lighting, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time. The cocktails were creative and strong (highly recommend the house margarita), and the food? Chef’s kiss. You can tell every detail is intentional. Definitely my new go-to lounge in the city.

"Luxury Meets Culture."

I’ve been to a lot of lounges, but nothing compares to 1942 Lounge. The service was top-tier — our server was friendly and on point all night. The owners were even walking around engaging with guests. It felt like a mix of upscale nightlife and a cultural hub. Loved the playlist, loved the people, loved the energy.

I hosted my birthday celebration here and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The VIP section was immaculate, bottle service was smooth, and the staff made me feel like royalty. Whether you're celebrating something big or just catching a vibe on the weekend — 1942 Lounge delivers every time.
