About Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC
Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC is a licensed alcohol establishment operator based in Washington, D.C. Regulatory records from the District’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration list the company as the licensee for Berhta Club, a Class C nightclub/tavern located at 1301 W Street NE, Washington, DC 20018.([abca.dc.gov](https://abca.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/abra/page_content/attachments/2026-4%20DC%20Emancipation%20Holiday%20Extension%20of%20Hours.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Rather than being a beverage wholesaler, the company functions as the legal entity behind a nightlife venue where alcohol is served for on-premise consumption.
A charge from “Bottoms up distribution” on a card statement is most likely linked to a bar or nightclub transaction processed under the company’s legal name instead of the trade name (for example, Berhta Club). This can happen when point-of-sale systems are configured with the corporate entity name, so patrons may not immediately recognize the descriptor even if they visited the venue that night. The amount typically corresponds to bar tabs, cover charges, bottle service, or event-related purchases.
To verify a charge, cardholders should first match the transaction date, time, and amount with any visit to a D.C. nightclub or bar around that period—especially Berhta Club or affiliated venues. Checking email receipts, text confirmations, or bank app location data can help confirm the purchase. If the charge is still unclear, contacting the venue directly (using contact details from local listings or social profiles) and asking for a receipt lookup by date and amount is recommended. In cases of suspected fraud, customers should promptly reach out to their card issuer to dispute the transaction and request a replacement card.

Why does my bank statement show a charge from “Bottoms up distribution” instead of the bar or club name I recognize?
Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC is the legal entity holding the alcohol license for nightlife operations such as Berhta Club in Washington, D.C.([abca.dc.gov](https://abca.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/abra/page_content/attachments/2026-4%20DC%20Emancipation%20Holiday%20Extension%20of%20Hours.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Some point-of-sale systems are set up to display the legal entity name rather than the club’s trade name, so your statement may show “Bottoms up distribution” even though you remember the venue as Berhta Club or a similar club name.
What kinds of purchases typically post under Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC?
Most charges reflect in-person purchases at the associated nightclub or bar—such as individual drinks, bar tabs, bottle service, cover charges, or event tickets settled at the venue. Tips added at closing a tab will usually be included in the final posted amount under Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC.
I don’t recognize this Bottoms Up Distribution charge. How can I confirm whether it’s legitimate?
Start by checking the transaction date, time, and amount against any recent visits to Washington, D.C. bars or clubs, particularly around the Berhta Club location on W Street NE. Compare with receipts, bank app location data, or rideshare history. If it lines up with a night out, it is likely a tab processed under the legal entity name. If not, contact the venue (using details from local business listings) to request a receipt lookup, and contact your card issuer if you still suspect fraud.
Can Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC place temporary or pending charges on my card?
Some nightlife venues may place a temporary pre-authorization on your card when you open a tab—often a round number like $50, $100, or more—to verify funds. This can appear as a pending charge from Bottoms Up Distribution. Once the tab is closed, the pending amount is adjusted to the final transaction, and the original hold should fall off within a few days, depending on your bank.
How do I request a refund, tip adjustment, or correction for a Bottoms Up Distribution charge?
Contact the club or bar associated with the charge as soon as possible and provide the transaction date, approximate time, last four digits of your card, and the amount. Ask them to look up the ticket or tab under Bottoms Up Distribution’s merchant account and request a manager to process any refund or tip adjustment. Keep correspondence and any updated receipts in case you also need to involve your card issuer.
Can I cancel a recurring or tab-style charge from Bottoms Up Distribution?
Bottoms Up Distribution transactions are typically one-time, in-person bar or nightclub charges rather than ongoing subscriptions. If you see multiple similar amounts on consecutive nights that you don’t recognize, it may indicate repeated visits on your card or potential misuse. In that case, call the venue to confirm activity and immediately contact your card issuer to block the card and dispute unauthorized transactions.
How can I contact someone about a charge from Bottoms Up Distribution if there’s no clear website?
Because Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC appears primarily in D.C. alcohol licensing records and operates under trade names like Berhta Club rather than a consumer-facing corporate site, the best approach is to search online maps or review sites for Berhta Club at 1301 W Street NE, Washington, DC and use the listed phone number or social media channels. Ask to speak with a manager who can look up card transactions for the date and amount in question.
Why does the merchant location on my statement show a different city or state than Washington, D.C.?
Card networks sometimes display processing or routing locations (or abbreviations that look like state codes) that don’t exactly match where the business is based. While Bottoms Up Distribution, LLC is licensed in Washington, D.C., your statement may abbreviate or mislabel the location. If the timing matches a trip or night out, treat the date and amount as the primary clues, and confirm with the venue or your bank if you’re unsure.
