"The West Loop gets so busy that, at some places, it’s not unheard of to run routes like a wide receiver to get to the bar. The Press Room isn’t one of those spots. It’s a basement wine bar on a secluded side street, and feels low-key even when it’s crowded. They have a great selection of wines, really good cocktails, and a short snacky menu that goes well with both. You'll want to hang out all night with some chilled Hungarian red wine and chicken liver mousse, even if you claim to be stopping in for a just minute." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
