OUR SPACES
THE EDITORS ROOM
This private dining room at The Pressroom balances refinement with versatility. With seating for 26 and space for up to 40 standing, The Editors Room is designed for everything from celebratory dinners and cocktail receptions to corporate gatherings and professional presentations. The space is fully enclosed with sliding glass doors that can be left open to stay connected to the energy of the restaurant or closed for complete privacy. Hidden behind the reflective glass are three discreet TVs, fully HDMI-compatible—ready when you need them, invisible when you don’t. It's the perfect blend of form and function in a setting that feels both intimate and elevated.
BAR MERCURY
Tucked beside The Pressroom, Bar Mercury is our swankiest hidden gem—a completely private bar with its own dedicated team and full-service cocktail experience. With seating for 50-70 and room for up to 80 standing, it’s designed for elevated gatherings that balance style with discretion. A rich palette of brass, leather and moody lighting sets the tone, while two hidden TVs disappear behind mirrored panels—available when needed, out of sight when not. The space is also equipped for music and presentations, with flexible AV options to suit the vibe. Whether you're hosting a cocktail soirée, private tasting, milestone celebration or corporate event, Bar Mercury delivers a luxe, cinematic atmosphere that feels worlds away from the ordinary.
***Bar Mercury and The Editors Room can be combined for larger events, with a total capacity of 75-105 seated or up to 120 standing.
DINING ROOM
Bright, open and full of energy, The Pressroom’s dining room offers a stunning space for high-impact events, receptions or full restaurant buyouts. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and lush greenery, the space seats 80-100 guests and has standing room for up to 150. It can be transformed to suit anything from elegant dinners to lively cocktail-style gatherings.
For presentations, watch parties or branded moments, the room includes two hidden TVs and full AV capabilities—including a cinema-scale projector that makes a serious statement. HDMI connectivity and flexible audio-visual support make it easy to bring your content to life.
