| - The Press Box reminds me a bit of a peacock. Now bear with me here, I'll explain. A peacock is a very nice bird, but somewhat average, until you get to the back end...the tail.
The same is true at the Press Box. Upon entering, it is definitely a sports bar. I was there on a Wednesday evening, and there were a smattering of regulars in the long, rectangular bar area.
A sign beside a door in the back announces the patio is open. Exiting through this door, you initially find yourself in a small room you feel you shouldn't be in, for varied different reasons. Another door on the right leads you to a very large and leafy double-tiered patio area, and this is what makes the Press Box a destination for me.
This is the tail of the peacock, so to speak, fanning out in the rear and quite possibly larger than the main building.
Large oak trees emerge from the timbers and spread out umbrella-like over the seating area.
It should be said I'm a fan of outdoors seating areas in general, but this is a great area for balmy summer evenings.
Two dartboards hang in the left corner, and the top tier to the right supports live musicians 2-4 times a week.
Overall, your basic sports bar during colder months, but one that offers a little something extra during the nice outdoor times.
