By the Pound is a cozy all-day café serving up classic deli fare and enticing cocktails, featuring a secret bar and a laid-back vibe perfect for casual outings.
"By the Pound, F2T’s Capitol Hill deli with a hidden bar, owed $75,000 in unpaid rent according to court records. It seemed like it would close for good, but F2T said they’d brought on a new 'strategic partner' to help retool the space as Bar Justice." - Megan Hill
"By the Pound, opened in late 2017, combines aspects of classic and modern neighborhood delis with a hidden bar that requires a password to enter." - Megan Hill
"By The Pound is temporarily closed. There’s this deli. And the deli has sandwiches. And they’re fine. But in the back, behind what looks like a refrigerator door, there’s a dark, password-protected cocktail bar with bookshelves and chandeliers and very good cocktails. They serve sandwiches in the bar, too, and they’re still just fine - nothing incredible. But this is a very cool place to grab a low-key drink, as long as you have the password. Which, if you find a way to contact us, we might be willing to share." - Aimee Rizzo
