History
We met while working at another Chicago restaurant. We live and breathe hospitality. We believe there's no more difficult or rewarding an industry than this one. And we couldn't think of better partners in this restaurant we're proud to call our own than each other. A word on the century-old building we're in: It was at one time a holography museum, a casket factory (!) and the Free Methodist Publishing House--not at all once.
Specialties
The Press Room is a small restaurant with an outsize heart in Chicago's West Loop, serving sophisticated but familiar food, friendly wines and classic cocktails. A joint venture of four friends with a shared passion for nurturing what feels like a forever kind of place, The Press Room runs on attentive service and affable vibes. It opened in September 2017 on the lower level of a century-old building, originally the Free Methodist Publishing House.
