From a press release:

“Coming this April to 2007 14th Street NW, Crush introduces a unique bar experience that blends nostalgia with contemporary nightlife. This new venue, catering especially to the LGBTQ+ community, offers a cozy, inclusive space that reminisces about the times of record stores and basement hangouts with friends.

In its past life as a music store and radio supply shop, Crush transforms its legacy into a modern-day haven.

It features top-notch DJ booths, a dance floor, and a summer garden, alongside a premium sound system to ensure every night is memorable.

The cocktail menu, developed by District After Dark, mixes classic and innovative drinks, promising a taste of the past with every sip. Additionally, you can indulge in a variety of crush drinks to complete your experience.

“Crush isn’t just our name, it’s the essence of our space. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can celebrate life and love,” says Stephen Rutgers and Mark Rutstein, Crush’s creators. “We’re excited to blend the past and present and bring everyone a new crush to 14th street.”

Crush is preparing for its grand opening in April with a series of special events. It’s committed to being a welcoming, vibrant spot for everyone looking to make new memories. Follow @CrushBarDC on instagram for updates on events.”
