Drinks are fairly priced, venue is a little run-down, could use a bit of a renovation. Serviceable, for sure, but not at all current.

Closest to private swag place you’ll get. Closest to speakeasy in ABQ. I feel so cool going here, and even have gone to craft club here. Really smart, rad people, never crowded, amazing view, and you can just chill here. Cheap drinks, relatively, and warm and cozy and lots of selection for drafts(including local). It’s my kinda place! Also, darts and pool and a record player and it’s just a funky old house. Magical and snug. I love the Press Club!

This place is incredible. If you have a friend with a membership, make them take you. The room adjacent to the bar looks out from the top of a hill over Albuquerque. There’s also a lovely wrap-around porch. Drinks are cheap(from my LA-based eyes), and there’s a good selection of local drafts.

after working in bars and nighclubs for 6+ years now, my idea of a good bar is much different than most of my peers. i like a place where i can enjoy a good drink in a quiet not overly crowded atmosphere. i dont want to shout over loud music or struggle to find a seat. the press club has become my favorite new hangout. its cozy and quiet. the liquor selection is quite impressive, and the bartender on tueasdays and thursdays makes one of the best gin martinis i’ve had in albuquerque. also smoking inside is a huge plus for me, especially in the cold winter. there is also a pool table downstairs.
