The Clocktower Bar at Swingers Dupont Circle

About this space

The Clocktower Bar is a semi-private cocktail bar in Swingers Dupont Circle that provides a tucked-away bar area separated from the venue’s main activity spaces and designed for focused socialising.

Design: The space presents a theatrical palette of deep teal joinery and plum-painted arches, set against a black-and-white geometric floor and exposed industrial ceiling. The room contains leather-topped high tables, blue bar stools, pendant green-shade lighting and pockets of planted greenery that create a staged, contemporary look.

Features: The area includes a full service bar counter and a fixed service point for drinks. The space provides Wi‑Fi, natural light, air conditioning, a PA system and speaker setup, and permission to play own music or bring a DJ. The space is wheelchair accessible and served by accessible toilets and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Friend groups or small work teams seeking a lively, social standing reception or circulated cocktail networking in a contained bar area.

What guests say: The space is vibrant and spring-inspired, with lighting and music that contribute to a lively atmosphere, and the service is attentive and professional.
