First Impression
The Press Room is a burger-and-bar joint in the Plaza District that happens to have wine on the menu — emphasis on 'happens to.' The list reads like someone checked a box at the end of a meeting. If you came here for wine, you may want to recalibrate.
Selection Deep Dive
There are maybe four or five wine options here, and they land squarely in gas station territory: a house pour, a Cab Sauv, a Chardonnay, a Pinot Gris, and a Sparkling Brut Rosé. No producers are called out, no regions are flagged, nothing about this list suggests anyone thought harder about it than 'red, white, and bubbles.' It covers the bases in the most literal sense possible and stops there. If you're hoping for anything off the beaten path, you're in the wrong zip code.
By the Glass
Glass pours run $7–$13, which is genuinely reasonable for Oklahoma City and keeps things accessible. That said, when every option is a varietal category rather than an actual wine, 'accessible' starts to feel like a polite word for 'anonymous.' Rotation appears nonexistent — this list feels like it was set and filed away.
Sparkling Brut Rosé — $13
At the top of the glass price range but bubbles at a burger bar are a small act of rebellion worth taking. It'll cut through the grease of the Press Burger better than anything else on this list.
Pinot Gris
Easily overlooked when you're scanning a short list for something familiar, but Pinot Gris has enough body and mild acidity to hold its own against bar food. It's the sleeper pick here.
House Wine Cab Sauv
A house Cab with no producer, no region, and no story is the wine equivalent of a shrug. At a place like this, spend the extra dollar and at least grab something with a name.
Sparkling Brut Rosé + Waffle Fry Bonanza
Salty, crispy fries and cold bubbles is an objectively correct combination regardless of venue. The acidity in the Brut Rosé resets your palate between bites in a way no lager can.
❌ The Bottom Line
The Press Room is a solid burger spot that takes wine about as seriously as it takes dietary restrictions. Order the food, order a cocktail or a beer, and save your wine energy for somewhere that reciprocates.
