News Room - Chicago

You'll find more commuter than reporter types here, but they'll get your drink to you in a flash if you keep your order simple.

A great place to have drinks and a good time, whether you're taking a train or not. Had a great time hanging with the folks from the CTA after hours; they're awesome! Bartenders here are professional and well dressed; the way they should be.

The News Room is a great bar in Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago. It is located on the second floor, by the Hudson newsagent shop. You can drink there, or you can get a beverage to go if you're catching a train in the station. They have a good selection of beer, wine, and hard liquors.

Convenient, but extremely rude staff. The only bartender was incredibly unprofessional. When we arrived, we asked for waters to start and she informed us that She could sell us bottles of water but couldn’t give us a glass without buying something. I informed her we had two hours to kill and were most definitely planning on buying quite a few things. A few minutes later, the waters were slammed in front of us with an apathetic sigh. She didn’t both to ask us what we would like, didn’t provide us with any menus, just walked away. We waited a few more minutes as she just stood at the opposite end of the bar. We tried to get her attention, and when we finally did, I asked her if she had a draft list. “Nope. Cans and bottles” I was told as she apathetically walked away once more. Fast forward another 5 minutes, she walks by again and I ask if she had any menus at all. “Nope” “Any specials possibly?” “Nope” “Ok, any recommendations at all?” “Nope” At this point, a little shocked, we decided it was best to simply leave. Would not recommend it. You’ll find better service at the McDonald’s downstairs.

You're not here for the ambiance, it's a commuter train station. The staff are great. I see the people they are mean to, they might deserve it. Cash only.

cash only bar as far as i could tell. The bartender didn't seem to polite or interested in anything but his job but really, who cares. Chances are you are...

This is a great place to go if you want a watered down drink and bad service. Also, CASH ONLY. When asked where the nearest ATM was the bartender pointed...

Are you the owner?
