"Wine bars in general might make you think of boring lectures on varietals and/or the characters from Sideways, but The Press Room doesn’t really fit this stereotype. It’s very laid-back, and rarely crowded because it’s hiding in the basement of a building in the West Loop. They have a wide range of wine options, but also really good cocktails, and a short small plates menu that goes well with both. This is an easy place to hang out all night." - adrian kane
