   Been to press room many times and this was awful. Not sure I would go back Hostess is useless. Sits you down and gives you water then reads books and looks out window. Waiter was the worst. Took order after 15 min of waiting. 6 tables only drinks. Only saw waiter again when we requested the bill because we had enough after an hour. Bartender was loud. Press room know for ambience this felt like a college bar. The bar was filled with loud drunk woman and bartender encouraging them and being loud. We could not hear ourselves talk it was so loud. Drinks were ok and not memorable. Not worth price or quality. Press room needs to do training with staff and reset expectations. If they are trying to go for loud bar then this is perfect for them. If they want people to spend money on speciality cocktails then they need to re-think the concept.

   Well made cocktails. Decor was OK with a "used" with a feeling of tired. Winter decor was much better and felt newer. Did not try any food from the new menu, just stopped in for a few cocktails which are made well.

   The Press Room is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of ambiance, creativity, and quality. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it an ideal spot for a casual night out or a more intimate gathering. The cocktail menu is both innovative and well crafted. The bartender was knowledgeable and passionate, always ready to recommend something tailored to your tastes. My favorite cocktail was the Tea Time, and my husband enjoyed the old fashioned weekly special. The Press Room is definitely worth a visit.

   The Theming is really what makes this place! The room goes with the drinks and food options.l so beautifully. It stands out in Greenville because of the care and details that are put into it. Ski lodge was a great girls night

   It used to be a great place to go when it was personable and customizable. The bartender would curate a drink to your flavor profile. It also felt secret when the code was emailed prior to reservation. Now the drinks aren’t that exciting, there’s a hostess for the code and the staff interaction was lackluster. Bring back the original feel.

   Came here several years ago on a girls trip and was excited to take my husband - came last night and it was not even close to what it used to be. The drinks were good. And the bartender was great, however you had to get up to order drinks/food and they would bring to you. The food was awful. They did not charge us, and while I appreciate them making it right - the food was inedible. The meat was discolored and the soup was cold. The ski lodge theme was a little cheesy. Could have been done with a more upscale look- and less dollar store. Overall disappointing and just meh….

    If there were zero for stars this place totally deserves negative stars!! The bar tender wanted to serve me a 7 day old wine which was labeled on the back of the bottle. WHO serves left over stale wine after 3 days? I politely asked to try a fresh bottle to taste. She refused and was COMPLETELY RUDE & Hostile stating she would not open a bottle to taste. I had to buy a glass or nothing! We have to put credit cards down to enter this over priced, bad wine establishment AND get treated & scolded like a child for wanting fresh wine. Unbelievable!! There are too many other great establishments for speak easy’s & fun bars, then to come here to have a BAR TENDER talk down to me. RUN!!!
