Who We Are

The Story Behind Pressbox

Rooted in Printer’s Row. Built for Chicago.

Pressbox is a neighborhood bar in Printer’s Row, a part of Chicago shaped by print, press, and people coming together to share stories.

The name comes from two places. The pressrooms and newspapers that once defined this neighborhood, and the press box where the game is watched, called, and remembered. Both are about paying attention and being present when something matters.

That idea carries through everything we do. Pressbox is a place to watch Chicago sports, meet up after work, and spend time in a room that feels familiar and easy. Good drinks. Solid food. Plenty of TVs without the chaos.

No gimmicks. No trends. Just a neighborhood bar rooted in where we are and what this city loves.

Pressbox is part of Slate + Stone Hospitality, a Chicago-based group focused on building neighborhood bars and restaurants rooted in their communities.
