All around a nice spot to have a cocktail or wine and a bite or two. The vibe isn’t quite speakeasy but still cozy and inviting. The cocktails were great and I would recommend asking what the special is if you’re feeling adventurous. Some of the food was hit or miss. What I would order again – the mussels and the charcuterie. What I would pass next time- the deviled eggs and the flatbread. They were just ok. But do splurge on dessert- both cakes were very tasty

Great staff and amazing cocktails! We went to another bar afterwards, and it felt like those drinks were one dimensional after how great the cocktails were here! Highly recommend. The mussels were delicious!

Perfect place to go in the cold winter to come. Warm and welcoming interior with a neighborhood feeling. The cocktails where interesting with lots of unique ingredients. Had a slice of orange cake which was really good brought back memories of something my grandma would make. Definitely will go again!

Jorge, Luigi and the team deliver an incredible experience.. my craft cocktail (bitters and bourbon) was great. However, the real differentiator is the incredible service the entire team delivers. It is heartfelt and noticeable. The space is incredibly cool.. and the atmosphere (my daughters say”vibe” ) is truly unique.. thank you Press Room crew

First time there for happy hour and the vibes of this place were so phenomenal. The bartenders and servers were extremely attentive. I really enjoyed myself

Made reservations after a celebration and were greeted warmly (which was wonderful since we were coming in from below zero temperatures) and given a cozy table in the corner. Our waiter, Gio, was attentive and our water glass never dipped below half. We also were cared for by Luigi, the bar manager. The cocktails were top notch (we tried several!) and we enjoyed the crisp prosciutto on our flatbread. Save room for dessert – the phyllo cake was extraordinary. We loved the whole atmosphere and will be back when in Chicago!

The atmosphere at this winery bar was lively, and the service was excellent. The wine selection was good, though a bit pricey per glass. I was expecting a more intimate, cozy setting with dim lighting and softer music, but the space felt more like a commercial bar—bright lights, many tables, and music that was quite loud, making it hard to have a conversation. If you’re looking for a vibrant and energetic spot, this might be a good fit, but for a more relaxed winery experience, it may not be the best choice.

Really good happy hour deals. The charcuterie board was delicious and the old fashions were good. Wait staff didn’t check in a whole lot, but that was okay. A great place to get drinks with friends

I’m writing this the morning after because I can’t stop thinking about dinner at The Press Room in West Loop.
The drinks were absolutely delicious, and the secret cocktail of the day was explained so eloquently it made me feel like I was in on something exclusive.
But the star was the food. The skirt steak came out perfectly charred on the outside, juicy and tender inside, with a bright, herby chimichurri that lit it up with flavor. The corn salad was colorful and refreshing, with sweet kernels, crunchy greens, and just the right touch of zest. I asked for a spicy aioli on the side and the kitchen nailed it… creamy, bold, and fiery enough to take every bite up a level.
Just look at the plate: vibrant greens, golden corn, glistening steak, and that rich sauce pooling underneath. It’s the kind of dish you want to stare at before diving in, and then you can’t put your fork down once you start.
The Press Room is elegant without being stuffy, and the service is sharp, thoughtful, and on point. Easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Chicago this year.

The space itself is beautiful—stylish décor, thoughtfully designed, and very inviting with a cozy atmosphere. While the oysters were fresh, they felt somewhat overpriced for East Coast varieties. Service was acceptable, though not exceptional; it appeared to be a particularly busy day, and our server seemed to be juggling both serving and hosting duties, which likely impacted attentiveness.
