Fight Club Sandwich Bar

"A pandemic-born sandwich pop-up in Capitol Hill known for its playful menu and vibrant atmosphere." - Tierney Plumb

"The popular pop-up birthed inside Beuchert’s Saloon during the pandemic planted a permanent sandwich flag on Capitol Hill last year. Best sellers in the ring include the “F.C. Chicken Doink” — its ode to a McGriddle, built with crispy buttermilk-brined chicken thighs, maple cake, and Crystal hot sauce; and the namesake Fight Club, a spin on the classic club assembled with roasted club steak, bacon, roasted tomato, shredded lettuce, and brown butter mayo on white country bread." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick

"At Capitol Hill sandwich shop Fight Club, some customers' exit plan is to take the vintage blue-and-white Blockbuster DVD cases used to hold their checks." - Lenore Adkins

"Capitol Hill’s Fight Club hosts two events this Pride season, with proceeds benefitting SMYAL. First is cocktail competition COCKFIGHT on Thursday, June 8 centered around vodka sodas. D.C. bartenders will create their take on the drink using a box of mystery ingredients. And a Pride brunch on Sunday, June 11 (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) features drag performances by Pariah Sinclair and live music from DJ Daniel Biltmore. Tickets ($20) include entry and a welcome Absolut cocktail. Tickets are available via Resy. And during Pride Week there’s a special Pornstache Martini with $1 per drink going to SMYAL." - Evan Caplan

"Fight Club will be showing the Kentucky Derby with must-have specials on deck. Look forward to offerings like Jefferson Mint Julep ($14); ‘Havana Club High Horse’ ($14) made with sour cherry liqueur, angostura bitters, and sweet vermouth; and blackberry mint margarita ($14). Food wise, snack on hot brown ($16), and pimento cheese dip and chips ($12)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
