This is more like a speakeasy than a place for dinner, but the meatball sandwiches were actually very good. So if you go for dinner, there may not be enough, but if you come for a cocktail and small bites, you’ll be very pleased.
My husband had my 30th surprise birthday here and it was INCREDIBLE. We had a private room with a super cool atmosphere and the staff, food, and cocktails were insane! So good! The amount of food you get for your dollar is really good! 12/10 recommend!
Small intimate basement cocktail bar just off the main West Loop bar path.
We came for the first time and really liked their cocktails, they have a limited menu but this is more of a before or after dinner bar. We did have their crab dip which was really good and had huge chicken of crab.
Service was very attentive and for the price the cocktails were all well made. They have a happy hour from Mon - Thursday from 4-6p.

Perfect place to get good cocktails and some small plates in a very intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend getting oysters and a charcuterie board that goes perfect with their amazing cocktails. I got the Gin & Tonic, which was fantastic!
Great happy hour, enjoyed the oysters, cheese board, olives, old fashioned, and martini.
Big negative is the very off playlist they chose to blast at a wine bar. Unless you’re a fan of hard rap where you hear the N word every other sentence in songs glorifying trapping and gang violence, you’re going to get a headache within 10 minutes. That alone will keep me from visiting again, which is unfortunate because everything else was a 10/10.

Press room had an excellent happy hour with great drinks and oysters. Will definitely be going back. It is a dark bar with great servers and a fun atmosphere.
I ended up posting up at the bar for much longer than I originally anticipated but had a fantastic time. Started with happy hour oysters and a cocktail and migrated to this leviathan charcuterie board and paired glasses of wine.
The Press Room has definitely evolved from my first visit, when it had just opened, but the changes are all for the better.
I was impressed by the variety of wines offered by the glass and the food menu was equally robust.
