    These are batch made drinks not craft cocktails. Very very expensive. Great vibes, felt like the cool place to be, but they’re definitely over charging.

    My friend and I went to Press Club this past week. The cocktail bar had quite the inviting appearance. The bar's record store motif was well-thought out, from the menus printed on single disc vinyl covers to the receipt placed inside an empty casette tape case. The bar is rather compact, smaller than depicted on Instagram (we've all been there). At best, intimate and snug. At worst, somewhat claustraphobic. If you are seated at the table closest to the door, you will make the acquaintance of everyone who enters the bar. Also, our table was adjacent to a speaker, so the music was rather loud for us, albeit a solid playlist (great if you like Stevie Wonder!). Thankfully, we had nothing of importance to discuss. Our server was lovely and gave great recommendations for the cocktails. I enjoyed the Temptation cocktail. We did not have any food, so I won't opine there. Overall, a fun experience! I would go back with one or two close friends, preferably at a different table.

    This was our first time at the Press Club. We arrived on time for our reservation, but they were running behind and could not seat us inside right away. We ended up sitting on the patio, which was quiet. The service was fabulous, and our main server, Anna, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They had an interesting menu of drinks, and our two were tasty. The food was good, too, but overall, it was a little pricey.

    We opted in for the 4 course playlist menu. Food was great and paired cocktail were even better. The dessert course was the best pairing. Staff was incredibly friendly and didn’t rush the courses even though we were above our 90 min reservation. Small spot - a little loud but it was a vibe. Staff were picking records to play all night, I love the music theme.
