Best Vinyl Bars in Washington, D.C. | Eater DC

"Open up the massive refrigerator door at Logan Circle’s iconic Peruvian spot to encounter a speakeasy stocked with a wall of brown liquors and vinyls. Charles “Chuck” Koch — also known as DJ Dirty Hands — heads the music program at this converted row house, which was one of the first places in the city to mix vinyl with food since 2017. Guests are encouraged to leaf through the list (“sometimes they go missing and sometimes they don’t,” says SRG restaurant Group’s Desmond Reilly). The team also brings in a rotating crop of DJs to spin at the 14th Street NW original and newer Navy Yard and Columbia, Maryland locales. “People can just pick up a record and suggest it to the DJ but mostly, they sort of let the DJs do their thing,” he says." - Claudia Rosenbaum
