BarFly's Review of Press Club
Make the scene with a magazine at this Ikea-chic reading room cum neighborhood lounge. Hundreds of periodicals for your purchasing and perusing pleasure, plus a diverse array of aural entertainments, from acoustic bluegrass acts to top-notch deejays (no surprise, there, since its co-owner is Kevin Friedman, Mr. Auditory Sculpture). Open 10am-10pm Sun-Thurs, 10am-midnight Fri/Sat.
$1 off beer and wine 4-6pm Mon-Fri
Happy Hours
The Press Club seems to be part of the new breed of Clinton Street gentrifying but does it without too much pretention.
The crepes I've had have been delicious and quite filling if you spring to add egg for an extra buck. The waitress we've had both times was quite nice and attentive for having to man the bar, coffee station and tables. They don't mind you thumbing though their extensive and off-beat collection of mags for sale. Last week we saw a 3-piece band of an accordianist, a cellist and a saw-ist. I definitely order the cheapest thing on the menu and skip drinks. I'll save my quarters for the pinball and Iron City at the Pub.
