New Face, Old Fave
The Pressroom restaurant is newly renovated and features a banquet room called the Printer’s Plate and a second outdoor space named Park Bar. The Printer’s Plate is a new space for private, full-day events. It is equipped with upgraded technology fit for business meetings and all-day training events. Park Bar is a seasonal outdoor space located in Steinman Park. The bar is cut into the building and is open during warm months, with live music on the weekends. The demand for these new spaces came from an increase in guest count as well as a desire to freshen up their look.
