The Staff was awesome. I irdered the Turkey burger &fries and a lemon drop martini. Everything was delicious even the ice cold glass of water. Great atmosphere!
Incredible, innovative drinks (best Negroni I’ve ever had), great little snacks, and the nicest service of all time. Truly a hidden gem in west loop
It’s a lovely place!! I loved the service, and best of all was the live music in Spanish!! ...exactly what we were looking for. We’re definitely making it our favorite spot. Plus, the service is the best—they never rushed us out or gave us dirty looks for lingering at the table like most places do.

The Press Room is a dimly lit yet cozy restaurant that creates the perfect mood for a date night or casual happy hour with friends. The service is consistently professional and friendly, with knowledgeable and attentive servers eager to assist. The atmosphere is described as "dark but not creepy," providing a romantic ambiance. The menu features delectable dishes like $1 oysters and the popular "bang bang noodles," along with expertly crafted cocktails, such as the old-fashioned, the highly praised espresso martini, and a secret cocktail of the day that adds an exclusive touch. The food is a highlight, with standout options like the perfectly charred skirt steak served with a bright, herby chimichurri, and a colorful corn salad that is refreshing and flavorful. While the kitchen aroma may linger on clothing after an extended stay, the overall experience at The Press Room is well-regarded. This speakeasy-style bar is ideal for a date or a girls' night out, offering a classy vibe with great music. With delicious drinks and unique food options like marinated olives, burrata, and the fun French onion grilled cheese, The Press Room is a great spot for those looking for a memorable outing. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, and the attentive staff ensures an enjoyable experience.
